Rose grudgingly allows Maggie to move in with her when their stepmother throws her out of the house. Rose is the eldest and she is a lawyer while Maggie is a free spirit who is unable to hold a steady job (due to her virtual inability to read) and turns to alcohol and men for emotional and financial support. They were raised by their father Michael (Ken Howard) and always nagging stepmother (Candice Azzara) after their mother died in a car accident. Maggie (Cameron Diaz) and Rose Feller (Toni Collette) are sisters with nothing in common but their shoe size. The film focuses on the relationship between two sisters and their grandmother. I missed in 2005 this American comedy-drama in the cinemas because I thought that a film based on the novel of the same name by Jennifer Weiner must be just a brainless chick-flick! Have to say that I was wrong because this really funny movie, directed by Curtis Hanson with an adapted screenplay by Susannah Grant, gave me a chance to enjoy in its variety of situations and superb performances of Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, and Shirley MacLaine. The film shouldn't be seen, and if you do watch it, go in with mediocre to bad expectations.

The film misses the mark, and maybe, just maybe if it had a different cast an d are worked script, this film would have been watchable and not the atrocious mess that it turned out to be. I just despised the film from start to finish, and the film goes from a potential good film to a clichéd chick flick in a matter of minutes. Bad acting, a bad script and overall bad direction make this film a pointless and awful film to watch. Unfortunately, the filmmakers delivered an awful film that isn't worth watching. I thought that the film could have been improved on, and that they could have done better than this. The film is really clichéd, and you know what will happen next. The film was bad because it could have used more story development and better characters. I really wasn't liking Cameron Diaz here, and I thought that she ruined a potentially good film with her annoying performance. In Her Shoes was a boring film with bad acting. Cameron Diaz is passed her prime, and she has made her one good film in recent times, unfortunately her career has been very hit and miss, with more misses that actually good films. In Her Shoes is a boring awful film with an a bad cast and a flawed story.
