The movie does need some good acting and Isla Fisher does need more practice before getting a lead role. The movie does have a good theme and a good message, but someone would ask whether Hollywood has the right to tell us what is the proper good life? What about my rights as a consumer living in consumer society like America?
Yes I personally believe that Hollywood should tell us what is the proper good life, because it is a different world out there, money don't make people happy, they make him well of materially and it is a sure way of telling whether our idea, our product is worth something.
Yes you have right as a consumer, but look at our tragic heroine Becky Bloomwood, who exercised her rights as consumer but ran into debt. Be spendthrift, balance your budget, spend and instead of buying too much clothes spend it to enlighten yourself go to a museum, art gallery. bookstore go to a local function, music concert or to the theatre or a fashion show.
