J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Jun 28, 2022
Adapted from a best seller by Jennifer Weiner, this tends toward petty audience manipulation, though Diaz and Collette strike sparks in the early scenes. Go to Full Review Liz Moody Empire Magazine Apr 1, 2006
4/5
A simple yet rich drama played with humour and compassion and blessed with excellent performances. Go to Full Review Amy Simmons Time Out Feb 9, 2006
Considering it doesn't star Maggie Smith or Judi Dench, it's surprising how mature and moving this female-focused drama is. Go to Full Review Ellie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) Jun 5, 2019

A feel-good film of the highest order. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Apr 29, 2009

It's hard to believe chick flick tripe like this was even revered with critical praise, but it happened. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Apr 15, 2009

"In Her Shoes" is an unbalanced movie that teeters between saccharine fluff and preachy self-help sentiment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Faithful Film B @rollreels 21 min ago I need to watch this again with my sister! 💕 See more Alyssa B @alyunlivre Oct 1, 2026 A poignant film filled with truth and situations that, unfortunately, can happen in real life. It offers a beautiful lesson about the importance of understanding each other, finding our way back to one another, and remembering that a sister can also be your best friend. I always wished I had a sister, but I never did. This film beautifully represents that unique and precious bond. A touching story that truly stayed with me. See more Tim M @tgmacman Jun 16, 2026 Overlong, In Her Shoes nevertheless proves surprisingly poignant thanks to solid lead performances from Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette. See more Kathy V. @RT64332554 May 29, 2026 I thought it was really a heart felt movie. Good movie, maybe a tad too long. Held my interest. See more Andrea V @RT86396880 May 22, 2026 Nunca he visto una película que explica lo complicada que puede ser la relación en entre hermanos tan claramente. Cómo pueden hacerse cosas horribles y, aún así, seguir amándose. La forma en la que ambas hermanas crecen en formas diferentes y procesan el trauma es tan real. La mayor tratando de proteger a la menor, las dos odiándose y amándose con la misma intensidad y la presencia de parientes escondiendo cosas de sus hijas... una familia como la tuya y la mía. Los diálogos son impecables y los sentimientos que evocan son del tipo con el que todos nos identificamos. AMO ESTA PELÍCULA. See more Stephen C @bob25009 May 9, 2026 The worldwide gross is $83,697,473.00 over a production budget of $35,000,000.00. Difference of $48,697,473.00. See more Read all reviews
