Movie: In Her Shoes

Cute, enjoyable

I thought this was a well done and fun little Hollywood flick. It won’t change your life, but it’s enjoyable. Cameron Diaz did a pretty good job, though she is used as eye candy throughout the film. Toni Collette was also great and it was neat to see Shirley MacLaine in a subtle role like this one.

I also enjoyed the three featurettes in the special features section of the DVD. I especially liked the one about how they chose and trained the dog, and wanted to promote people getting their dogs from shelters, even though it made me feel guilty for paying a lot of money for a purebred pug. Especially interesting since the original novel and screenplay featured a pug. :) I think the dog in the mo vie was part pug and I want to know the mix. It was very cute.
