September 29, 2009Really good film. A 'Terms of endearment' for the new millennium. Almost. Still, Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette & Shirley MacLaine do a good job and Hanson gives the characters a decent amount of time to develop unlike most modern chick flicks, a slightly unfair pigeon hole. Great s...( read more)

September 3, 2008Hanson has dealt with the rap version of Rocky, a crazed nanny in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and has also delivered one of the best films of all time L.A. Confidential. SO the man that can apparently churn out anything has a rather successful shot at an unapologetic chick fli...( read more)

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
In Her Shoes is aimed squarely at a demographic -- grown-up women -- who aren't often catered to by Hollywood, and it's competent and sometimes charming. But there's a soap-opera blandness to it that ... full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The characters seem authentic -- until the chick-flick template distorts them. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Never lurked a Chick Flick that looked fairer on the urge to talk things out. Never lurked one with a smarter cast or a more cluttered screenplay, full of mirth and sorrow. full review
October 7, 2005
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Entertaining enough, but it's more pat than provocative -- this is what makes it a bona fide audience pleaser while keeping it from drawing real blood. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
The movie works neither as a comedy nor as a lame melodrama -- its entertainment value is embarrassingly feeble. full review
October 6, 2005
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It's Hanson's astute directing that makes the film's life lessons go down painlessly, turning the smartly entertaining In Her Shoes into a comfy fit for both sexes. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
If movies were scratch-and-sniff, In Her Shoes would be a cloying blend of patent leather, melon lip-gloss and potpourri sachets. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
In Her Shoes starts out with the materials of an ordinary movie and becomes a rather special one. full review
