In Her Shoes

So I'm home on fall break and went to see the new Cameron Diaz movie with my family, and absolutely loved it. Heck, it made my dad get teary eyed even. It was such a good chick flick, but I think guys could enjoy it as well.

I'm gonna suggest my sisters go as like a sisterhood activity since we never goto movies as a huge group together, and this is def a movie to see with your girlfriends.

Def 2 thumbs up from me!

I read the book a few months ago and loved it. I dragged the hubby last week, and he even liked it (I think Cameron Diaz in her underwear/swimsuit a lot helped ). I thought it was very good, but obviously the book goes into more detail and explains things a lot better (especially about their mother, the "My Marcia" storyline, the relationship with the grandmother). Definitely a good flick, but read the book, too.

One thing I didn't like about the movie was that Toni Collette's character, Rose, was supposedly overweight. In the book she is described as quite large, but in the movie, she's by no means fat. She is thicker than Cameron, yes, but I wouldn't call a size 10 fat.

I just saw the movie, and while i still like the book better I do agree it was a great flick. Like Xylochick216, I read the book months ago, but made my mother read the book as soon as i found out it was becoming a movie so we could see it together and of course she loved it.
