Synopsis

Curtis Hanson's adaptation of Jennifer Weiner's novel -In Her Shoes stars Toni Collette and Cameron Diaz as a pair of very close but very different sisters. Free-wheeling irresponsible Maggie Feller (Diaz) gets through her life thanks to her remarkable looks and her lack of scruples. She constantly goes to her straight-laced, plain-Jane successful lawyer sister Rose (Collette) for financial help. The two sisters have been very close to each other in part because their troubled mother died when they were girls. Right about the same time that Maggie discovers hidden letters that reveal she and Rose have a grandmother, Maggie does something to betray Rose's trust. Maggie sets off for Florida to find the grandmother. A failed workplace romance forces Rose to rethink her career, a career that has been the center of her life. As Rose tentatively begins a new relationship and Maggie gets to know her grandmother (played by Shirley MacLaine), the two learn a dark family secret that helps smooth the path toward reconciliation. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

I love this movie! I am the upstanding one, while my sister is the irresponsible one. Sometimes my sister and I can get along, other times I can't stand her! I could definitely identify with these 2 women :) I love that the script is very original, which is rare these days. I enjoyed not being able to guess what was going to happen next.

This was a heartwarming film with some humorous moments throughout! I don't usually care for Toni Collette, but she played a strong lead in this movie. Cameron Diaz also plays the roll of a loveable screw-up! And, of course, Shirley MacLaine...well what more can one say...she's always fabulous in my book!
