William Arnold

The movie is so well-cast, sympathetically acted and delicately directed -- and so genuinely touching and funny -- that it leaps right out of the narrow confines of the family bonding formula. Read full review

Peter Rainer

No great claims should be made for In Her Shoes. If the aim here was to show how chick lit can become just plain lit, the effort failed. But there is something to be said for froth when it's expertly whipped. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Maintains a breezy charm throughout and contains many extremely funny sequences. Read full review

Michael Phillips

A great big wad of chick-lit gum, In Her Shoes gets by on the skill of its players. Read full review

Michael Sragow

It's absolutely the classiest big-screen version of chick lit we're ever likely to see. But it still has all the lasting flavor of a Chiclet. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

Emotions too often get ladled unconvincingly. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

The movie works neither as a comedy nor as a lame melodrama -- its entertainment value is embarrassingly feeble. Read full review

I loved the movie and thought that Cameron Diaz was surprisingly good in it.

Great Performances. Touching story. "You'll laugh. You'll cry." Toni Collette (Muriel's Wedding, About A Boy) is fantastic. This movie provides important "lilfe lessons" with humor and style. Go see this movie.

Wonderful! Alas, again and again, you will hear this refered to by that over-used and insulting moniker, "chick-flick"--but unless you have more testosterone than cerebral fluid, and a greater appreciation for flatulence than feeling, this film should appeal to both sexes in equal measure.

This is pretty much a chick flick but with much more depth, interest, and novelty than many of the formulaic chick movies that come out. The three leading actresses all did wonderful jobs, and all of their characters had such delicious and meaningful layers.

The three leading actresses all did wonderful jobs, and all of their characters had such delicious and meaningful layers. Diaz isn't just the carefree, hedonistic blonde she comes off as in the previews. Collette isn't more than the overachieving, repressed ninny that SHE comes off as in the previews. The characters from the retirement community were a wonderful and sweet and funny surprise.… Expand

It's kinda funny in parts but tries way to hard in certain scenes and makes it feel rushed.

A good movie all around. Toni Collette is amazing in everything she does. And Cameron Diaz proves there's more to her acting ability than *Charlie's Angels* would have us to believe. This is in no way a chick-flick only movie. I completely enjoyed it ... and I'm a guy. A good movie all around. Toni Collette is amazing in everything she does.
