In Her Shoes Movie Review a 2005 film starring Cameron Diaz, Anson Mount and directed by Curtis Hanson In Her Shoes is one of those lovely mixes that actually works: part comedy, part drama. Some message, some malarkey. If you’ve enjoyed Cameron Diaz in There’s Something About Mary; Toni Collette in Muriel’s Wedding, or Shirley MacLaine in Terms of Endearment, there’s a bit of this film you’ll find both familiar and fresh.

The themes: how you can find yourself in being of service to others; that some things in life just don’t go away - the trick is learning to love those things and grow through your experiences with them. Forgiveness, redemption, family….but before it sounds too heavy or didactic, it also reminds one of Collette and Diaz comedies mentioned above. It’s sweet, it’s moving, and it’s funny.

Whether learning to fill her own shoes, how to deserve and earn her own shoes, or learning to forgive and to put herself in another person’s shoes, you’ll laugh and cry along with these celebrated actresses.
