In Her Shoes

Pros: Acting, Humor, story line, flow.
Cons: Tear-jerker at times, music could have been better.

"In Her Shoes" was a heart-felt, sweet, lovely movie. Toni Collette was excellent of course, as well as strong and more than perfect for the part. Cameron Diaz' character was an adorable mess, and Cameron did an excellent job. I have never seen ...

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 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: Great acting, interesting story
Cons: Length made it feel a little rushed

When I saw the trailer for "In Her Shoes" I thought, this is going to be boring. I'm not the one for chick flicks or sweet lil sistery movies...I'm kind of a robot when it comes to sappy movies. But I've gotta say, I almost cried at this movie and that ...

Pros: Collette, Diaz, explores relationships of all kinds, much deeper than expected, some very funny moments
Cons: MacLaine plays the same character again, doesn't handle weight issues very well

I expected In Her Shoes to be a fairly typical and fairly lighthearted romantic comedy. It looked like a good example of that genre and I expected to enjoy it some time when I needed to rest my brain cells and indulge in pure mindless fantasy for ...

Pros: Collette. Diaz. McClaine. Mark Feuerstein. Not a chick flick! A sister flick!
Cons: Slow in the beginning. No resolution for one particularly wicked character.

The tagline says it all. Friends. Competitors. Sisters. Anyone who has a sister (I have two) can tell you that it doesn't get any closer to the truth that that! We begin our journey with two different views of two very different sisters. One is a ...

Pros: A good mixture of comedy and drama. A perfect mom-daughter movie.
Cons: None!

I walked into In Her Shoes expecting a girly movie: funny quips about men, food, love, friendship, family, and of course, shoes. That's exactly what I got. But for the first time, it wasn't a bad thing. In fact, In Her Shoes was the ...

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: Direction, ensemble, Collette... I used three Kleenex
Cons: Definite plays on your emotions...too sentimental for the film; (a few)...I used three Kleenex

"In Her Shoes", the book, was decent chick lit; a sophomore effort by author Jennifer Weiner. Of note is that Weiner's books will no doubt get a fresh breath in sales after a ton of American women openly weep for this movie! I'm not sure how the studio ...

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 ...

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: 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: 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: great performances by Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette
Cons: the movie runs over two hours which is a bit too much

I caught a special sneak preview of In Her Shoes the weekend of September 24th. Brief Plot Based on a wonderful novel by Jennifer Weiner, In Her Shoes follows the lives are two sisters who couldn’t be more different. The ...
