Synopsis:
IN HER SHOES is the alternately hilarious and heart-rending story of two sisters with nothing in common but size 8 1/2 feet. Maggie and Rose Feller are both best friends and polar opposites when it comes to values, goals and personal style. Maggie (CAMERON DIAZ) is a party girl who barely graduated from high school, recycles jobs as quickly as yesterday's newspapers and believes her biggest asset is her attractiveness to the opposite sex. Her recurring state of unemployment leaves her virtually homeless as she bounces between the sofas of her friends and relatives. With no confidence in her intellectual ability, she prizes makeup over books and has an innate talent for choosing the perfect accessories and clothes for any occasion. Rose (TONI COLLETTE) is a Princeton educated attorney at a top law firm in Philadelphia. Her beautifully decorated prewar apartment is her haven from the outside world. With her nose perpetually to the grindstone, she struggles constantly with her weight and never feels comfortable in the clothes she wears. Her low self esteem regarding her physical appearance has left her dating life non-existent. Rose's one joy in life is shoes (because they always fit), but unfortunately she has few social opportunities to remove them from her closet. After a calamitous falling out, the two sisters travel a bumpy road toward true appreciation for one another aided along the way by the discovery of the maternal grandmother (SHIRLEY MACLAINE) they thought was dead. Through their re-connection with their grandmother, Ella, Maggie and Rose learn how to make peace with themselves and with each other.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Erwin
Most critics are concluding that Curtis Hansen has succeeded in making In Her Shoes a chick flick with a soul. Joe Morgenstern in the Wall Street Journal writes that it's a case of solid emotional content trumping conventional form. That's not the way Jack Mathews in the New York Daily News views it at all. He comments: Many a tear will be shed at screenings of Curtis Hanson's In Her Shoes, a lot of them by men sorry to have been dragged along by wives and girlfriends.

Not a Cameron Diaz fan so was really pleasantly surprised by how fantastic she was as Maggie.Been a while since I read the book so I was not stuck in the "that's not how it happened" and "why did they leave that out" mode.It followed the story and the entire cast did a great job.Personally, I think all of the older actors brightened everyscene they were in because they seemed very real and charming in their roles.Shirley Maclaine can never get enough press as far as I am concerned.I adore Ken Howard but was feeling a bit ho-hum about his character until his scene with her.She really brought home the reality of regret for me.Or, you could just watch the movie for the shoe display in Rose's closet. Wow.
