Isla Fisher will be happy to learn that she now has parents, as John Goodman and Joan Cusack join the cast of the upcoming Touchstone Pictures adaptation of Confessions of a Shopaholic. The movie, which stars Fisher as the shopaholic herself, is based on the hit novel by Sophie Kinsella in which a reporter for a financial magazine, who has absolutely no financial savy, stumbles through life, running up skyloads of debt and getting into plenty of comic scrapes in the mean time.

Originally set in London, Hollywood hotshots have migrated the story overseas (perhaps in an effort to appeal to a larger audience) and wound up in New York city, which may of course cause problems when Becky travels to New York… Perhaps she’ll hit L.A. instead?

Confessions of a Shopaholic hits theaters on February 13, 2009.
