I finally got to watch "In Her Shoes" yesterday. I had prior knowledge that this movie has a really low rating (like, 2-and-a-half stars), but still, how bad can a movie be when there's Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette and the really great Shirley MacLaine in it?

Not bad at all, actually. Sure, the storyline is a little clichéd (evil stepmother, sisters are polar opposites, one wrecks the other's life), but there's no denying that it's heartwarming. One of my favourite characters is the deadly cynical best friend of Rose. Another thing I like is that this movie has quite a share witty lines, most of which are spoken by Rose, of course. Here are some that I like: (Note: they may not be word for word accurate.)

"There's a consistency in your cynicism that's beautiful."

"She won't remember your name. In fact, I don't think she can even spell it."

"There are some women who have lace bras and thongs. A thong would look ridiculous on me. I wear cotton briefs."

"Clothes never look good on me, and food makes me fat. Shoes are the only things that fit."

Yep, that's about all I'll say for the movie. Now go and watch it! I was actually inspired by it quite a bit, and straight after the movie, my sister and I each bought a pair of shoes. (Lavender stilettos with diamante buckle for me, wedges with black straps for her.) Yeah, that was the inspiration. Pretty shoes can never be overrated.
