Reaction To Watching In Her Shoes Three (almost) In A Row

* That movie would have been ten times better if the chick from Muriel's Wedding (Toni Collete) wasn't playing one of the leads. I don't know why but even Cameron Diaz did a better job acting in this movie. I think there are some actors who just can't do lighthearted comedy and Collete belongs to this group (just like Nicole Kidman) - she has no comedic timing whatsoever. Her mouth is way too big and her character completely did not work. Also zilch on the chemistry between her and her boyfriend/fiancee and her bestest friend in the world: her sister (Diaz). Half the movie is spent talking about how fat she is (which she is not, although who ever was in charge of her wardrobe tried their darnest to make her unattractive) and desperate.

* I love Shirley MacLaine, but maybe, just maybe she could stop playing the same wise cracking grandmother already. I think ten films is quite enough to solidify your witty/repressed personality.

* I don't know if it was the plane, but half the lines were incomprehensible. Terrible sound.
