However, I was a little surprised at the beginning. Diaz's fragrant thighs are reminiscent of "In The Cut". Fortunately, when the weird-looking Toni Collette who played her sister Rose finally appeared, a touching sister-in-law was staged. Of course, you may also be unmoved. I must admit that I have always been hard to resist family themes. When I was very young, I cried because of the big brother of "Under the Same Roof", which caused my best friends to be unbelievable.
Closer to home. I really like the scene of Rose running into the square with the dog recklessly. The shots were beautifully selected, and finally ignited a bit of wildness in her character, and she was no longer the first to last rigorous lawyer to walk. Collette played very well, especially when she was irritating to her sister.
Candice Azzara, who played the energetic grandmother, was nominated for a Golden Globe supporting role for the film. However, her memories of her daughter did not seem to me to be an outstanding performance, but towards the end, the grandmother calmly reconciled with her son-in-law left a deep impression on me.
Of course there are many disadvantages. Diaz is too dazzling, there are too many details irrelevant to the subject and the title is not well expressed, and the lens lacks change.
Diaz starred in the idle sister Maggie, is undoubtedly the biggest gimmick of the film, but it may also be a failure. Her appearance is too radiant. I don't know if her acting skills are not enough or the director hasn't given her enough space. In fact, she was able to perform well later in the nursing home when she did not expose too much skin with plain makeup. In that passage, I read and understood a poem for the first time in my life under the encouragement of the blind old professor, and it was quite touching that it was also evaluated by the old professor A+. But too much unnecessary sexiness before has weakened the warm tone of the film.
There are so many inexplicable details. For example, the old man intends to match Maggie with his grandson, and then after the old man's death, Maggie and his grandson reunited in the nursing home, and then it was gone. And the father and stepmother walking around carrying plates at Rose's Muslim wedding is also baffling. Maybe it has something to do with the stepmother's daughter Marshall joining Islam. But obviously these two details are unnecessary, because neither can be developed. The previous crazy behaviors of Maggie made people feel that they were purely Diaz's body show, because it is really cumbersome, if you don't view the film as a blockbuster.
I don't know why the director made Rose's husband Simon a Muslim. It is not easy to grasp the religious content, especially for such a light-hearted movie. Rose turned off the light many times during sex with Simon. Was it because of his personality or his religious beliefs? And Marshall joined Islam and fell out with his mother because of this, and was ridiculed by Rose, which is really a snake.
In addition, the title of in her shoes did not show up well. Just relying on a few sisters sneaking through the high heels that were full of sister's wardrobe, the sister finally put on the beautiful high heels that she had never worn before, the sister broke the high heels of the sister, and the sister was wearing the high heels given by the grandmother at the wedding. It's too weak, just staying on the screen, without digging out the deep meaning, and the frequency of appearance may not be as high as Diaz's breast enhancement and beautiful legs.
It is worth mentioning that in the close-ups of Diaz, the face, especially the eyes, is very haggard. I don't know if it is the relationship between smoky makeup or it is true.
Unknowingly, it became a provocation again, but it is really worth seeing, at least not the vulgar blockbuster. And that ill-intentioned stepmother is really itchy. The fierce stepmother and the helpless father always seem to be a favorite match of directors.
