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

Pros: Good cast
Cons: None
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

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

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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

Pros: Hilarious, well-written, awesome acting
Cons: A little long
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

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
Summary: "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 ... read more

Pros: Direction. Toni Collette. Shirley MacLaine. Genre disrupting. Maybe.
Cons: The script could still use work. Cameron Diaz is just goofy.
Summary: The poster for “In Her Shoes” mentions that Curtis Hanson is the director, but doesn’t tell you he directed "8 Mile.” I suspect that would be demographic suicide. But, if you appreciate good direction, "8 Mile” is the key. Neither ... read more

Pros: Perfectly shows siblings at their best/worst. Casting is superb, funny, and natural with each other
Cons: none
Summary: In Her Shoes is a witty chick flick that highlights sibling rivalry at it's best. It should appeal to the male audience for it's countless shots of Cameron Diaz in little bitty pieces of clothing. Not to mention a great story which perfectly depicts the ... read more

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.
Summary: 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 ... read more
