Jamie passion and passionfruit!

In her shoes is one of those films that it is probably not very fashionable to like.  Labelled a chick flick, it does deal with life issues from the context of two sisters and their long absent grandmother, but the film is rich with lessons and insights for us all.  My feeling is that Curtis Hanson has done a great job.  Whether you like this sort of romantic comedy cum family drama or not, he does the work effortlessly and draws out  great natural and subtle performances from his cast.  Toni Collette (great as ever), Cameron Diaz and Shirley Maclaine all shine.  Forget the majority of the critics and go see it. It will delight you.
