Perfect cast and a good story

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

No where near as good as the book, the film misses most of the key points and changes far too much of the story!

The movie is great and the actors were able not only to tell the story,but to make you feel the story. I would highly recommend you to watch this movie,because it makes you realize that you can find all the happiness in the world in the little things.

This is a multi emotions movie !I was : Crying and laughing, Angry and confused, Decisive and indecisive, Dreamer and practical, Amazed and disappointed.Life worth living and death worth dying,Oh my god - this movie is so good !

My Sister's Keeper (2009): Dir: Nick Cassavetes / Cast: Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Jason Patric, Sofia Vassilieva, Alec Baldwin: Sad yet moving drama about responsibility. It regards a family torn in grief when eldest daughter is cancer ridden and the youngest who was an expected donor takes legal action in hopes of having a normal life. Perhaps the brother isn't necessary but the screenplay plays out many flashbacks to establish relationships. Directed by Nick Cassavetes who previously made Alpha Dog as well as the popular tearjerker The Notebook. He is given very strong performances that carry this film beyond its mood. Abigail Breslin plays the younger daughter taking a major stance in order to live a normal life. Cameron Diaz plays her frustrated mother focusing on the condition of her oldest daughter while causing friction with her younger. Sofia Vassilieva plays the cancer victim recalling better memories. She accepts her condition and cherishes the life she has lived but more so maintains close ties with her sister. Jason Patric plays her father understanding Breslin yet unable to communicate with his wife until he states stern terms towards the conclusion. Alec Baldwin steals moments as an attorney working for the Breslin character in unique circumstances. Very well made but the film plays as a preparation for death but fails to address the afterlife. Score: 8 / 10
