The co-worker brings flowers to Rose’s apartment while Rose is still at work. Meanwhile, Rose is hurt ( MC Counterpoint of State of Being) when her relationship with a co-worker isn’t going as smoothly as she’d like. She leaves disheartened without understanding what is wrong with her ( IC Concern of Understanding).

Even her bubbly personality won’t get her the job if she can’t read properly. Maggie takes a trip to NYC for an MTV audition but fails when her dyslexia impairs her reading a teleprompter. Rose figures that a job will begin Maggie’s road to independence ( MC Problem Solving Style of Linear/Logical). Rose tries to help Maggie get a job without success. This is a classic Be-er / Do-er argument. On the other foot, so to speak, Maggie thinks it’s a crime to keep them on the shelves and they must be worn for all to see. Rose finds fulfillment by buying shoes, beautiful shoes, because they always fit-but she never wears them.

The two sisters have completely different attitudes towards life ( Relationship Story Domain of Fixed Attitudes).

Maggie Feller, Rose’s younger sister, is a vivacious blonde bombshell that suffers from a surprising lack of morals due to her unabashed self-centeredness ( IC Problem of Self Aware), a debilitating case of undiagnosed dyslexia ( IC Symptom of Actuality), and an overabundance of sex appeal ( IC Response of Perception).Īfter getting into trouble ( IC Domain of Activity) one too many times ( OS Concern of Past), Maggie is evicted from her room at her father and stepmother’s house and moves in with Rose ( Story Driver of Action). Her low self-esteem ( MC Issue of Sense of Self) and interest in improving her life ( MC Problem of Desire) drive her to work long hours and rely on her pool of co-workers as potential romantic material. Rose Feller is a mousey attorney who struggles to change herself to accommodate those around her ( MC Approach of Be-er) whether it’s her hunky boyfriend co-worker, her obnoxious but needy younger sister, her cold stepmother, or her emotionally unavailable father.

With a requisite share of weepy and feel-good moments, In Her Shoes covers familiar genre territory with depth and aplomb. In Her Shoes is well-rounded family drama (with many comedic elements) that offers more than the usual “chick flick.” Ostensibly about the relationship between two sisters, Rose and Maggie Feller, the film explores the entire family (past and present) and examines each throughline to a greater depth than lighter fare.
