   Why oh why are they setting this in NY....I realize that Becky and Luke eventually end up in the states in the book series, but the UK is a character in itself in the books.....

   I cannot agree with Monica more. The settings in London, how Becky whizzing in and out of London highstreets and of course what makes this book so much fun is the british humour! It is such a shame that the movie will be set in NY, :-(

   I can't believe it is going to be in the US. The British humor is what makes the books totally funny. Of course I will see the movie, but I hope it does the books justice.

   Mmmm a real shame it will be set in the states! The whole fun was in her actually MOVING to the states! I read every single book in the series and her 'englishness' really makes the character and the gags ...disappointed.

   I'm also upset that it will be in the US. London is one of my favorite places and is one of the reasons i like the books so much. I'm not as excited to see the movie now

   I just saw the trailer for "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and let me say "OMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFG." Rebecca Bloomwood is American! The filmmakers devirge too much from the book. How was Sophie Kinselle okay with this?

   I am obsessed with the Shopaholic books and cant wait for the movie, however, I am upset that it is in New York! I am also upset that her job is not the "Money managing" job that she has in London. Thats part of the hilarious British humor in the book. She cant hold a dollar but she tells everyone else how to save.
   
   I love the chacter Becky, but i wish to see more of the book in this movie. :(

   I just saw the preview and was appalled that none of the spoke with an accent and jumped quickly to find out why that was. To find that it has been set in NY took away some of the lure of seeing it. Becky's British-ness just made the book. Also to take that setting away will most likely never justify the book. What a shame!

   I agree! i'm pretty upset that they are having it take place in NYC. it's like they are skipping around and not being true to the book. london is crucial to her character! not to mention i HATE when they make movies out of books but don't stay true to the story! i will still see it, but now i'm going into it expecting disappointment.

   I have to agree with the others. I am so upset this movie isn't set in London. There are way too many movies with twenty-somethings set in NYC. I would have loved to have seen something different. I will mostly miss Becky's British humor and that cute English way of saying things. So sad. :(

   I just watched the trailer online. As a huge fan of the books and Becky herself, I'm upset that they're portraying her as such a ditzy character! Becky is obsessed with shopping but not a ditzy moron. Also, Luke is supposed to be a strong very put together man, but by casting a scrawny disheveled Hugh Dancy they are losing a bit of the character.

   Although the UK brings a lot of the novel to life, I think Isla Fisher has the comedic chops to bring Becky, and her outrageous mind, to life.
