In Her Shoes

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Direction. Toni Collette. Shirley MacLaine. Genre disrupting. Maybe.
Cons: The script could still use work. Cameron Diaz is just goofy.

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 ...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 ...

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 ...
