Free-wheeling irresponsible Maggie Feller gets through her life thanks to her remarkable looks and her lack of scruples. She constantly goes to her straitlaced, plain jane, successful lawyer sister, Rose for financial help. Right about the same time that Maggie discovers hidden letters that reveal she and Rose have a grandmother, Maggie does something to betray Rose';s trust. Then, while searching in her father';s desk for money to filch, Maggie finds an address; the past and the future open up to her that can help smooth the path toward reconciliation.
I think one reason this movie is so appealing is that it's the anti-Sex and the City-its earnestness and relative lack of rank bawdiness or cynicism seem novel in the present pop-culture atmosphere.

When it comes to offensive depictions of disability, even with its abundance in movies, the silence can be really deafening, no pun intended.
It's a rare film that requires a trash-talking best friend and a lively, smart-mouthed, comically blunt little old lady to liven things up. It's an even rarer film that can't be helped by either one.

Cluttered and predictable; but laced with laughs and enough of an emotional payoff to make it all worthwhile.
Very well written. All the supporting performances are good.

Although In Her Shoes aims to rub along, with that scuffed worldliness which Hanson has made his own, it keeps bumping into the archness of the romantic-domestic genre.

A Hollywood movie that feels real; one that engages the tear ducts and the mind.

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