I'll admit it, I was wrong.

I always say, the book is better than the movie, the movie is never even CLOSE.

I just watched the movie "In Her Shoes". I thought it would be good for Mother's Day. While I had pretty low expectations, I enjoy the three main actresses, Toni Colette, Cameron Diaz, and the incomparable, Shirley MaClaine.

Wow. It had all the sister moments, driven by love and hate. It had all the stepfamily moments, the father who lost his bride, and never quite recovered, resulting in a family that is never quite mended. The older sister, driven to perfection of pleasing who, she isn't quite sure. I can relate a little to closely to all of these things.

It made me laugh, it made me cry, it broke my heart and mended it again, all in the span of the movie.

It was wonderful.
