J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Adapted from a best seller by Jennifer Weiner, this tends toward petty audience manipulation, though Diaz and Collette strike sparks in the early scenes. Jun 28, 2022 Full Review Liz Moody Empire Magazine A simple yet rich drama played with humour and compassion and blessed with excellent performances. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Amy Simmons Time Out Considering it doesn't star Maggie Smith or Judi Dench, it's surprising how mature and moving this female-focused drama is. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) A feel-good film of the highest order. Rated: 3/4 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's hard to believe chick flick tripe like this was even revered with critical praise, but it happened. Rated: 2/4 Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com "In Her Shoes" is an unbalanced movie that teeters between saccharine fluff and preachy self-help sentiment. Rated: C- Apr 15, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

J L I love this movie...highlighting the complexities of youth and the sister relationship, this picture was a beautiful work of art, combining personal growth and the difficult lessons one must learn to bring attention to self serving behavior, the consequences of said behavior and the desire to change. The acting was superb and emotional with plenty of good laughs along the way. Truly a treasure with a touching poem that you will never forget. A must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Ridwoan R One of the beautiful movies ever💖 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Emma S Great easy watch. Not a romcom but a lovely story about family Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review N P Even though the story may be kind of predictable, the plot did manage to surprise here and there and overall the movie just was entertaining and a perfect feel-good-movie for a sunday evening (without being too shallow). Also the cast was great, especially Shirley MacLaine! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Marco M Touching, compelling and funny film with great performances by Diaz, Colette and especially Shirley Maclaine. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I have nothing bad to really say other than it’s not my type of movie . The actors and story were all fine enough that I get the ratings from the critics 2.6 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/21 Full Review Read all reviews
