IN HER SHOES
Synopsis
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.

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.--©20th Century Fox
