Synopsis
Cameron Diaz will play Maggie, a gorgeous 28-year-old with a touch of dyslexia who has an uncanny talent to get anything she wants. However, once she obtains the things she desires, she has no idea how to keep them. On the other end of the spectrum is Rose (Collette), Maggie's plump, practical older sister. Rose is a high-powered attorney with a hidden passion for romance novels and is the type of woman who always says she will start her exercise regime "next week." What she really dreams of, though, is a man who will remove her glasses and tell her she's beautiful. And she also is constantly hoping that she will be able to get her irresponsible younger sister on the right track.

Critics' reviews
  • "It's wonderfully satisfying: Collette, MacLaine and Diaz are exceptional, and the mix of humor and heartbreak is perfectly calibrated."
  • "It's too self-conscious of its role in the marketplace and too hamstrung by its source material to risk being honest at the expense of being liked."
  • "It's Hanson's astute directing that makes the film's life lessons go down painlessly"
  • "Manipulative, but confidently so, and improbably but consistently affecting."
  • "Artificial in both its dialogue and its construction, the film only works - on those occasions when it works - because of the sincere performance by the underrated Toni Collette."
  • "Director Curtis Hanson has made a chick flick with substance as well as style"
  • "Cameron Diaz redeems her reputation somewhat in In Her Shoes, Curtis Hanson's schmaltzy, but reasonably entertaining dramedy"
  • "While on the surface very much a girls' film, this ruefully honest picture has something to say to everyone."
