Maggie and Rose are sisters and best friends, yet polar opposites in
their values, goals and personal styles. Sexy Maggie (Cameron Diaz) is a
party girl who barely made it through high school, can’t hold a job,
and attracts men like flies. Dowdy Rose (Toni Collette) is
Princeton-educated attorney at a top law firm in Philadelphia who
suffers from rock-bottom self-esteem, has no social life, and consoles
herself by buying shoes that she never wears. After a calamitous falling
out, the sisters travel a bumpy road toward true appreciation for one
another – aided by the tough love of their recently discovered maternal
grandmother Ella (Shirley MacLaine) whom they thought was long dead.
Through that re-connection, Maggie and Rose learn how to make peace with
themselves and with each other. A pleasant little chick flick even a
man can enjoy. Diaz, Collette and McClain are marvels.
