Isla Fisher has defended the timing of her new film’s release. Confessions Of A Shopaholic has come in for some negative press recently with some quarters questioning whether it was appropriate in the current economic climate. The film, a comedy based on Sophie Kinsella’s hit book, is the story of college graduate Rebecca Bloomwood who moves to Manhattan to nurture her shopping addiction. "The character is learning lessons about consumption and debt like the rest of us right now,” Isla explained at last night’s London premiere. "It feels fairly topical. Obviously the movie was conceived during a different economic period but she learns her lesson. It is a redemption story." After the film cast and crew partied at the Tanqueray VIP room at London’s exclusive Asprey’s store.
