DVD 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

Light comedy. Enjoyable entertainment. Shirley Maclaine does not disappoint.

I highly recommend this movie! It shows how now matter what happens, family is family...and you're pretty much stuck with them.

I really liked it but I wish some parts of the book hadn't gotten cut...

This is a very cute movie emphasizing the importance of understanding the other person's viewpoint. Cameron is the sleazy, sleep-around sister and Toni is the uptight lawyer. Both sisters are unmarried and suffering the pains of the death of their mother as children. Cameron keeps messing up her sister's life until Toni kicks her out of the house. Cameron finds birthday cards, etc. in her father's house and finds out she has a grandmother who loved her. She runs off to see her. Shirley sends for the other sister secretly and things become mended on all fronts. Very good movie. Wonderful acting by Cameron Diaz in a serious role.
