Friends. Rivals. Sisters.

Synopsis:
'In Her Shoes' is the alternately hilarious and heart-rending story of two sisters with nothing in common but size 8 ½ feet. Maggie and Rose Feller are both best friends and polar opposites when it comes to values, goals and personal style.

Maggie (Cameron Diaz) is a party girl, Rose (Toni Collette) is a Princeton educated attorney at a top law firm in Philadelphia and after a calamitous falling out, the two sisters travel a bumpy road toward true appreciation for one another - aided along the way by the discovery of the maternal grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) they thought was dead. Through their re-connection with their grandmother, Ella, Maggie and Rose learn how to make peace with themselves and with each other.

Review:
What do you have in common with your sister or other siblings? Are you chalk and cheese?This light-hearted but insightful look at family, the dynamics and bonds that keep it together and the molehills that can tear it apart is realistic and is likely to strike a cord. Toni Collette, Cameron Diaz, Shirley MacLaine all deliver touching performances.
