Less secure men avoid chick-lit flicks like In Her Shoes. A word to the less secure dudes: films marketed at females draw them like sales. You sir, can be the only man in theater. Odds don’t get much better than that.<\/p>\n
I’m a quasi-chick lit fan. Any genre that move books in big quantities is worth my consideration. This commitment has led me down roads both dark and terrible, such as the Vampire Chronicles.<\/p>\n
In Her Shoes is the tale of two sisters, joined by love and hate. Basically, first they hate each other, then they love each other. Along the way they stop talking. Exciting? Not really. Gripping? Like the klemph. Believable? Yes. The credibility factor, combined with the performances, deliver this movie from the bargain bin. Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette seem like real sisters, one drama from a knife fight. Or a hug.<\/p>\n
What works about this movie:
\n1) Performances. Toni Collette at a career best. Even better work than the creepy mom in Sixth Sense.
\n2) Plot. A few glitches here and there, but any oversights are forgiven.
\n3) Cast. The actors fit the characters.
\n4) Direction. The director nursed laughs at the right moments.<\/p>\n
Verdict: Girls, test your man’s security and demand a date with this film. Guys, you’ve been warned. DVD purchase, or matinee ( for the Girls Club Squad ).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
