In Her Shoes: A Review
The ladies and I were pleased to find a chick-flick at the Oyama theatre last night - usually only Western blockbuster action films are released here; what's more, it was the only Western flick to chose from! Having never heard of the film, In Her Shoes, but knowing the actors, we decided to chance it.My rating, a surprising 3.5 stars (out of 5). In her typical role as a ditsy hot-chick, Cameron Diaz did what she does (i.e. struts around in her panties),
and did it well. I think men and women alike can fantasize about "having" that body. Conversely, the HOT-factor for women viewers was added by Mark Feuerstein who you may recognize from various NBC cancellations. Like Diaz, Feuerstein stuck to his usual (smart, sympathetic Jewish boyfriend) role.
The highlights of the movie: Toni Collette, who seems finally to be breaking into mainstream roles; and the enchanting Shirley MacLaine (what a classy lady!). Both of these talents provided the required highs and lows that ensure the lasting enjoyability of an otherwise bland chick-flick.
Overall, buy it discount. You'll definitely watch it again and again, but it'll never be a classic.
