When their paths intersect, Maggie breaks up a burgeoning romance in Rose's life and creates chaos in both their lives. Maggie heads to Grandma's retirement village home where she rapidly discovers that a hard body and cute hair cut are not enough.

Told with affection and more than a single nod to iconis movie moments, In Her Shoes is an interesting and entertaining way to pass the time. All the characters have flaws and strengths, we want them to find a successful life for themselves. We cheer when Maggie is told to clean up her own mess and discovers that she does, indeed have a saleable talent with her clothes on.

Well worth the time, In Her Shoes has actual characters in and actual story, following the dictum that a good story tells the tale of the most important moments of the character's lives. Worthwhile without being heavily worthy -- there should be more like this.
