A coworker told me I had to watch this movie so I did. I have never heard of it before. It was pretty cute. Rose and Maggie (Cameron Diaz) are sisters. Rose is a slightly overweight lawyer. She buys shoes when she feels sad and thus has an impressive collection of impressive shoes that she never wears. Maggie is young and beautiful and has no career to speak of. She gets strangers to buy her drinks and lives off her dad and her sister. Well, when Maggie sleeps with Rose's man friend, shit hits the fan! Rose kicks Maggie out. Maggie, searching for money to steal from her family, finds birthday cards from a Grandmother she never knew she had. She flies down to Daytona (of course) to visit her Grandmother. She originally only intends to mooch off her, but finds a life and career for herself among the old folk. Rose on the other hand quit her job at a law firm, started walking dogs for a living, and met a man she can actually be herself with. However, her relationship is in danger because she is holding back her anger for her sister Maggie. Don't worry, everything ends well! Maggie gets her sister and fiance back together and starts her own personal shopping business and everyone lives happily ever after with a newly found grandma. Horray! Chic flicks!
The impressive collection of unworn shoes here sounds like a downright example of Chekhov's gun. You can't leave us hanging here Marissa - DO THE SHOES GET WORN FOR A HAPPY ENDING OR WHAT? Also, is the grumpy looking poor man's Tina Fey the "slightly overweight lawyer?" Because she isn't overweight at all.
ReplyDeleteNo she's doesn't even wear them! I don't get it!
ReplyDeleteAlso I didn't think she was overweight either. Which is why I was confused that they called her fat the entire time.
