Adapted from a best seller by Jennifer Weiner, this tends toward petty audience manipulation, though Diaz and Collette strike sparks in the early scenes.

Considering it doesn't star Maggie Smith or Judi Dench, it's surprising how mature and moving this female-focused drama is.

It's hard to believe chick flick tripe like this was even revered with critical praise, but it happened.

C-

"In Her Shoes" is an unbalanced movie that teeters between saccharine fluff and preachy self-help sentiment.

Overlong, In Her Shoes nevertheless proves surprisingly poignant thanks to solid lead performances from Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette.

I thought it was really a heart felt movie. Good movie, maybe a tad too long. Held my interest.

Nunca he visto una película que explica lo complicada que puede ser la relación en entre hermanos tan claramente. Cómo pueden hacerse cosas horribles y, aún así, seguir amándose. La forma en la que ambas hermanas crecen en formas diferentes y procesan el trauma es tan real. La mayor tratando de proteger a la menor, las dos odiándose y amándose con la misma intensidad y la presencia de parientes escondiendo cosas de sus hijas... una familia como la tuya y la mía. Los diálogos son impecables y los sentimientos que evocan son del tipo con el que todos nos identificamos. AMO ESTA PELÍCULA.

It was somewhat funny but not enough. When it comes to the romantic part, it's kinda lacking everything tho... Although the movie is not bad at all it's just too long and this is why after watching the half of it you're losing the interest. Not the best movie about two sisters who can't get along but if you don't have nothing else to watch I think you can give it a shot. Maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did.

I love this movie...highlighting the complexities of youth and the sister relationship, this picture was a beautiful work of art, combining personal growth and the difficult lessons one must learn to bring attention to self serving behavior, the consequences of said behavior and the desire to change. The acting was superb and emotional with plenty of good laughs along the way. Truly a treasure with a touching poem that you will never forget. A must see!
