If the Shoe Fits

I can see why most people might rank this movie poorly but it all lies in expectations. I classify this movie as a wonderful "cheesy movie fix". It is a carefree, entertaining movie. The acting is commendable. There is conflict where you find yourself rooting for people and hoping that the heroine makes out in the end.

I have introduced many of my friends to my "cheesy movie collection" and they always fair well.

"And that's entertainment"

I just wanted something easy to watch and this was exactly that. It's not an award winning, never before done, change your view of the world movie, just simple, lighthearted and fun. I look forward to watching it again.

This movie, although obviously low in budget and made for T.V, is sweet and entertaining. You find yourself getting caught up in the romantic feel of the film, and although you think Salvitore is a twit, you can't help but want Kelly to land up with him. Rob Lowe also is a plus to this film, and even though Jennifer Grey had already lost her Dirty Dancing teenage gawkiness, you still like her and hate the "ugly sisters". It has a happy ending and an enjoyable plot line, although intensely impossible in many parts, like the rapid changing scenes. You won't be disappointed with this film if your looking for a hunky leading man, a cute, quirky leading lady and a fairytale ending!

The movie is so poorly done that even though bit is a Cinderella story, the writing and directing leave so much to be desired. The comedy barely worked, the acting should have been better, the actors were doing their jobs, but it didn't work at all. A miss for both Rob Lowe and Jennifer Grey.

Lowe's character asking to sleep with Jennifer's character is kind of sickingly in bad taste and of a different time, more the sixties rather than 1990.

The French cast is inspired as a concept for Haute Couture, but they felt like they were B or C actors that just may not have worked with the director. It was too hard to tell there was so much wrong, it wasn't good overall.

Disappointing, and sad.

If The Shoe Fits is a modern reworking of the Cinderella legend with Rob Lowe, Jennifer Grey and a whole bunch French players. Just getting a trip to Paris to shoot there would have been reason enough for me to take the roles.

A wardrobe girl at designer Rob Lowe's house of fashion, Jennifer Grey is a bit of a drudge who lives with a pair of models who think they're something special. But one day Grey finds a pair of abandoned shoes who a kind fairy godmother enchants. She wears those and she's Cheryl Tiegs. And does Lowe ever notice, especially since she wants to design shoes for his house.

Lowe's a bit of a stretch as Prince Charming. As is said his world is populated by images of beauty. He finds it hard to relate to people. Not the most charming of fashion princes, but love always has its own reasons.

Lowe, the successor to Tyrone Power in those hero/heel roles and Grey and the rest of the cast perform well in this modern fable of Cinderella. Worth a look if you are a fan of the aging Brat Packer.
