Aro Recommended In Her Shoes

 

USA 2005, 130 minutes
Dir. Curtis Hanson
Rating: [M]
Genres: Comedy, Drama / Girl-centric

 

Aroview: Intelligent, if overly conventional adaptation of Jennifer Weiner's chick-lit novel about two contrasting and clashing sisters: the ebullient and irresponsible one (Diaz) and the professional and timid one (Collette).

After they finally outwear their relationship, a parting of ways produces progress on several fronts, with Diaz discovering their long-lost grandmother in Florida, and Collette finding possible romance. Of course, sisterly reconciliation is not too far over the horizon either. Dir. Hanson here attempts to map the female territory equivalent to WONDER BOYS, and certainly polishes his dialogue with an enjoyable warmth and wit, while Diaz gives perhaps her most shaded performance to date.
