I originally purchased In Her Shoes from ebay for a number of reasons. A) - I didn't have the patience to wait for it to come out on UK DVD B) I didn't want to pay top whack for the DVD when it came out anyway and C) I was in the frame of mind where i really wanted to see it "Right NOW!". You can always guarantee a good buy from ebay as well, and with the benefit of a multi-region DVD player I thought, Why not?. I am an avid Diaz/Collette Fan - from There's Something About Mary to Connie and Carla, there hasn't been a movie with these two in that I haven't enjoyed. Until I sat through In Her Shoes. Well, I say sat through..I made lunch and several drinks in between time, WITHOUT pausing the movie. Quite simply, because there is nothing to miss! To say I was utterly disappointed is an understatement. It starts of well in comparison to the rest of the movie...Diaz plays the bubbly younger sister with learning difficulties *weep weep sob sob*, who ends up working in a nursing home after finding her long lost granny..or something like that, while her sister, Collette, plays the business woman, who is so insecure and under-confident about her appearance in comparison to her sister, that she splurges all her money on her apartment and GORGEOUS shoes, until she finally meets her man and she gets over it. THAT IS ALL THE MOVIE IS ABOUT! Undoubtedly, the best part of the movie is when we are priviledged to a sneak inside the fabulous Shoe closet..that's about the only highlight of the movie. Everything else has been seen before and done to death, and although i was fairly patient and waited for the climax of the movie to happen, it never did. Both actresses are undermined in this movie, and I would even go as far as to say it makes Diaz seem to be a BAD actress. All in all, I was bitterly let down, but, hey, don't take my word for it - Some people love sitting through a drawn-out, boring movie for thrills!Read full review
This is another great film. The story of Love & Hate between sisters - One has it all and the other thinks she has it all or do they? Catching your sister with your boyfriend is enough for Cameron Diaz to be ejected from her sisters life - but that seem's to be the reality check that she needed and when she moves in with her Grandmother her life seems to take a turn she wasn't quite expecting. A lovely night in with the popcorn film.
the movie was ok. it wasnt the best i'd seen, but not at all the worse. (its an advantage if you have a sister, but everything is explained well.) it is about two sisters who are so different, and want it that way; untill they find out they have a grandmother they did'nt know about. The sisters have a big row and the younger sister spends time alone with their grandmother, whilst the elder sister stays at her home. during the time apart, you can see a more serious and dedicated side to the younger sister (the elder's influence), and a fun, more spontanious side to the elder sister (younger's influence). it all comes together in the end, when everyone realises they all need each other, and they all live happily ever after! If you want to see every extra detail which you may have missed, watch the extras on the dvd where the director and writer etc. explain things. overall i gave it an average rating, but i think its one of those that you should see if you've seen all your dvd's loads of times and want something a bit different.Read full review
This movie was a mediocre chick flick, i have to say i have seen better! It had some stupidly funny bits and some serious issues between sister-sister rivalry was embarked upon! Not to mention some lush shoes!) But overall i have given it an average rating as i hadnt expected much from the title and i was given much from the movie! But im sure plenty of other girls would love this chick flick!
