In Her Shoes

Pros: Good acting and good storyline
Cons: Some people may find it a little slow in some parts

Before I actually watched this film I'd not noticed any trailers for it nor could even remember it being in the cinemas! However, I saw it on the shops dvd racks and thought it looked like my kind of film - I like both the main characters that were ...

Pros: A story that has real potential for exploring issues.
Cons: Takes the cheap and sleezy way out.

I had been looking forward to taking in this version of Jennifer Weiner's novel, In Her Shoes and set aside an empty Saturday afternoon to watch it. Set in Philadelphia in the here-and-now, it tells the story of two ...

Pros: Too complicated to mention in only 15 words, read the full review
Cons: Too complicated to mention in only 15 words, read the full review

"In Her Shoes" is a movie that is possibly the most annoying film I've had to review in a long time. I write this because the movie starts abysmally, has a middle that made me think "I'm glad I stuck it out," then progresses into "saw that coming, saw ...

Pros: Great cast and well played characters. Will make you both laugh and cry.
Cons: None for me.

In Her Shoes, directed by Curtis Hanson, is the story of two sisters who seem to have nothing in common. After loosing their mother when they were very young the eldest sister Rose, played by Toni Collete, feels it is her responsibility to keep her ...

Pros: Good cast
Cons: None

This was a really good flick and I'm a guy. I don't necessarily pay to see chick flicks but In Her Shoes had one interesting element: Curtis Hanson. Hanson helmed 8 Mile. L.A. Confidential and The Hand That Rocks The Cradle. So to see In Her Shoes, I ...

Pros: Hanson's Direction, Script, Look, Locations, Score, & Cast.
Cons: Predictable at Times & Macho Men Won't Like This.

For films like The Hands that Rocks the Cradle and The River Wild, Curtis Hanson is among one of Hollywood's most successful and prolific directors who achieved his greatest success in 1997 with an acclaimed adaptation of James Ellroy's ...

Pros: Acting, story-line.
Cons: Pacing in some spots.

Cameron Diaz is irrepressibly cute, inescapably adorable, and for now, undeniably sexy; there is no denying it. And that wide smile, dimples and all, can warm the coldest of hearts. And whatever movie she is in is hard to resist watching it just to see ...

Pros: Acting, character development, direction
Cons: None

In Her Shoes stars Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette in a wonderful contemporary drama about two very different sisters who struggle with adulthood. Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) directs. While this film might be billed as a comedy, it ...

Pros: Pros: It's all characters and dialogue to tell a moving family story
Cons: Cons: A little slow for the first half hour

"In Her Shoes" is about four women: two sisters, their mother, and their grandmother---and how three of them have their lives disrupted by a calamity that befalls the mother when the sisters are children. The movie focuses first on the two ...

Pros: The script and directing; The ending
Cons: Slow in spots

What happens when two sisters from different backgrounds and lifestyles clash? The result is In Her Shoes, a family drama about the relationship between two sisters, their father & stepmother, and their long- lost grandmother. Let’s take a ...

Pros: great dialogue, unconventional storyline, excellent use of poetry
Cons: cheesy ending, could have been funnier

Firstly, let me explain myself. Besides being the 21-yr old testosterone high male college student I am, I don’t watch films for eye candy. But I’ll just say it is undeniably present in In Her Shoes. Cameron Diaz runs around in tank ...

Pros: Wonderful Characters and a plot that slowly makes more and more sense.
Cons: You may be overwhelmed by estrogen if you go to a theatre to see it.

The world is full of people that seem pretty much normal people who have issues that are deeper than surface level, and which may not present themselves until you have gotten to know them in a much deeper way. It’s possible to not even uncover these ...

Pros: Toni Collette, Jerry Adler, Francine Beers...
Cons: ... Diaz's character is highly annoying, poor pacing

In Her Shoes is the story of two sisters falling out and eventually patching things up again, which will either make you want to see it or have you running for cover. If it weren’t for the fact that it stars 2 of my favourite actresses – ...

Pros: Hilarious, well-written, awesome acting
Cons: A little long

Egad! Here I go again, extolling the virtues of yet another chick-flick gone good. I don’t know exactly why I keep going to this genre of movie (wait, yes I do, my wife suggests them), but I find that I like them more and more. This past Saturday ...

Pros: Wonderful cast that gave good performances
Cons: Hard to like Maggie. Slow in some parts and just too long.

Many books end up being made into movies. I have seen many movies based on books, though I haven’t already read the book before seeing the movie. I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to see In Her Shoes when I first saw the trailer a few ...
