In Her Shoes (2005) Review

Rose Feller (Toni Collete) has led a sensible life, but she has a wild side - it's in her closet. Her shoes, to be precise. Meanwhile, her sister Maggie (Cameron Diaz) is a bit less sensible, but she doesn't have quite the shoe collection of her sister. Oh, she'd like it, but she just doesn't have it. So when she's kicked out of her own apartment for coming home late one too many times (and too drunk), she goes to live with Rose.

The only problem is that she sleeps with Rose's boyfriend - and coworker - which means that Rose has had enough, too. That means that Maggie takes off for new digs, and that is when she finds out about a stack of letters that her grandmother sent her (and Rose) that her father and stepmother have kept hidden. So instead of going to New York like she had planned, she goes to Florida to visit her grandmother. Enter Ella (Shirley MacLaine).

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
