In Her Shoes: Grade B

In Her Shoes

Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, Shirley Maclaine

I personally could have edited 30 minutes out of this movie. It is a very slow starter, but once it gets going, the acting is good and the story is satisfying. Two adult sisters become estranged but each discovers a long lost grandmother and through her, become re-united. It’s a family story. No guns or explosions. Cameron Diaz shows some signs of acting talent, which she had better develop before she gets much older. Toni Collette is surprisingly good. But Shirley Maclaine is a standout. She really knows what she is doing at every moment. Reviewed 2/19/06
