My Sister's Keeper (2009) Reviews

Just saw My Sister's Keeper starring Cameron Diaz, Jason Patric, Abigail Breslin, Alec Baldwin and Joan Cuzak.  What a fantastic little film, it was not my first choice, but as Transformers was sold out and we were escaping the heat we opter for this film.

The film is about a family's struggle with caring for a sick child who has cancer. Something I can personally relate to as the mother of a two medically needy children and a cancer survivor.  The emotions are real and nothing in the story is over the top. The story gives the perspective of all of the family members involved, how they were...

I have read the book and absolutly loved it. I tell everyone they should read it. I was very excited to hear they were going to make a film out of it. I waited patiently for it to be made.

The book was great and the movie just stunk. Read the book instead. It is worth the money you...

Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric play parents Sara and Brian with a brood of three kids. They're different, though, than most families. When their...

I just saw My sister's keeper after reading the book. While I thought the movie was good, I think it sucks that the ending was changed.

I went into the movie expecting to use an entire box of kleenex when in reality, I barely cried a bit. Does this make me cold? Maybe it does but there was so much going on in the movie that it was kind of hard to follow or show much emotion. The book did a much better job!

I thought the ending of the book made the story. I was shocked when the movie ended the way it did and that it was so different. If I would've just seen the movie and not known about the book,...
