Schmaltzy, but reasonably entertaining.

Reviews for In Her Shoes
Top CriticFor a big studio women's picture, anyway, it goes to some very uncomfortable extremes before working things out. It's refreshingly rough for most of the film.
10/07/05
I was so repulsed by these pigs of characters that if they were near me, I couldn’t have resisted the urge to hurl them into a tank filled with man-eating sharks.
10/07/05
In Her Shoes may be corny, but its tenderness is genuine, and the movie's affection for its characters is awfully contagious.
10/07/05
This is a film with a dramatic heart and plenty to say about family.
10/07/05
What’s left is half a film that doesn’t live up to its potential and half that never had any to begin with.
10/07/05
Never lurked a Chick Flick that looked fairer on the urge to talk things out. Never lurked one with a smarter cast or a more cluttered screenplay, full of mirth and sorrow.
10/07/05
A bungled mess that spends an hour creating two characters whose lives are about as believable as a successful ambush set by Wile E. Coyote for the Road Runner.
10/07/05
Top Critic...sorely tests the dazzling powers of Cameron Diaz.
10/07/05
A clunky flick that doesn't think at all, and ends up aping the worst traits of both siblings: Far too big and way too shallow, it's a bloated lightweight of a movie.
10/07/05
It would be a terrible shame if half the population didn't see it because the film was labeled unjustly.
10/07/05
Top CriticIt's a chick flick for non-chicks too, one of those movies that makes you laugh and cry and leaves you feeling satisfied and drained and vaguely embarrassed for having such a good time.
10/07/05
In Her Shoes demonstrates that it's possible to make something fresh and enjoyable out of the most formulaic material.
10/07/05
Stellar in its genre: Well-acted and expertly wrung of excess sentimentality.
10/07/05
It's difficult to think of a Hanson film in which the performances are wanting, and Shoes is no exception.
10/07/05
Top CriticHanson and his three leading ladies have given us the gift of a finely crafted movie full of humbling and humorous truths.
10/07/05
Despite some strong performances and funny parts, including a wedding shower gone bad, the movie never seems to find the right fit.
10/07/05
... the cinematic equivalent of penny loafers ... [But] when they're polished and buffed to a shine, they still look pretty darn good.
10/07/05
Entertaining enough, but it's more pat than provocative -- this is what makes it a bona fide audience pleaser while keeping it from drawing real blood.
10/07/05
What phony hooey this is.
