The predominantly pink posters should be the only guide you need for this lazy, unsubtle and predictable romantic turkey from crap producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Shooting for a job at a top fashion mag, the title neurotic instead lands one with a business publication, where she uses her shopping smarts to craft a financial advice column that’s an instant success. And that’s the least contrived thing in this movie. But Isla Fisher, a gifted physical comedienne, overcomes many of the film’s weaknesses, and sidekick Krysten Ritter is ready for prime time herself. Also John Goodman and Joan Cusack. Maybe on an airliner.
