IN HER SHOES is the alternately hilarious and heart-rending story
of two sisters with nothing in common but size 8 ½ feet. Maggie and
Rose Feller are both best friends and polar opposites when it comes
to values, goals and personal style.
Maggie (Cameron Diaz) is a party girl who barely graduated from
high school, recycles jobs as quickly as yesterday's newspapers and
believes her biggest asset is her attractiveness to the opposite
sex. Her recurring state of unemployment leaves her virtually
homeless as she bounces between the sofas of her friends and
relatives. With no confidence in her intellectual ability, she
prizes makeup over books and has an innate talent for choosing the
perfect accessories and clothes for any occasion.
Rose (Toni Collette) is a Princeton educated attorney at a top law
firm in Philadelphia. Her beautifully decorated prewar apartment is
her haven from the outside world. With her nose perpetually to the
grindstone, she struggles constantly with her weight and never
feels comfortable in the clothes she wears. Her low self esteem
regarding her physical appearance has left her dating life
non-existent. Rose's one joy in life is shoes (because they always
fit), but unfortunately she has few social opportunities to remove
them from her closet.
After a calamitous falling out, the two sisters travel a bumpy road
toward true appreciation for one another - aided along the way by
the discovery of the maternal grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) they
thought was dead. Through their re-connection with their
grandmother, Ella, Maggie and Rose learn how to make peace with
themselves and with each other.
