Review of In Her Shoes (2005) by Jonathan G — 27 Mar 2010
"Friends. Rivals. Sisters.".
The running time wasn't very appealing. More than two hours. Not usual for a flick. But this is not really your usual flick. In fact, I think it's extraordinary. The characters here are unforgettable. Maggie Feller (Cameron Diaz), the dependent younger sister; Rose (Toni Collette), her workaholic and protective sister overshadowed by her beautiful sister; Ella Hirsch (Shirley MacLaine), the grandmother who was there to reunite the two. And who will forget Sydelle (Candice Azzara), one of the most annoying stepmothers I've ever seen. Maggie's character and difficulty with reading was interesting. Aside from the sibling rivalry plot, the movie also follows Maggie as she improves her reading skills and her lifestyle. I think the message of the film is those who are close to you can be your worst enemy. But they are the ones who will complete you.
