'In Her Shoes' reaction from Toronto

Now that Brokeback Mountain has screened, here's the "final" word on In Her Shoes:

It's an okay chick flick to "Best Chick Flick since Terms of Endearment!"

The reviews are pretty divisive. No one's calling it a bad movie or even a mediocre one. Variety's review likes the acting and thinks it will do decent biz, but the general feeling is that it's just too conventional. Jeffrey Wells really liked it as did Susan Wloszczyna from USA Today, who suggested that men will like the film as well. Ebert is withholding his thoughts on all films cause he is a tease, but did say that it comes off as "tough and perceptive." He raved MacLaine later saying she should be nominated. As of right now, I think that's probably the only Oscar nomination to come its way, but Diaz and Collette could get Golden Globe noms depending on how much money the movie makes.

I just saw a TV spot for this while I was typing. Yeah, I'll probably love this.
