My Sister's Keeper review

I got some preview tickets and went to see My Sisters Keeper last night and all i can say is omg take tissues.

Its based on the book by Jodi Picoult, which alot of you may have read, but the film is slightly different. It stars Cameron Diaz who is absolutely amazing in it. Its nice to see her playing a different type of character and she does it so well. Her co- stars are equally wonderful.

Plot
Abigail Breslin stars as Anna, a 13-year-old girl who was conceived by IVF in order to be a genetic match for her older sister, Kate, who has battled leukemia since childhood. Despite being a normal, healthy child, Anna has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions and injections for the sake of her sister's health. Now, when she must forgo the opportunity to go to a prestigious hockey camp in order to donate a kidney to her sister who has gone into renal failure, Anna decides that enough is enough and sues her parents for medical emancipation.

  1. oh.my.god I will definitely wait for the dvd with this one.

    I'm terrible with sad films. When I watch The Notebook I cry from about 5 minutes in to the very end and then carry on crying when it has finished! lol.

    I have embarrassed myself at the cinema wayyy too many times. xx

  2. Thats what this is like, ongoing crying. i felt so embarrassed. The woman next to be said she could feel me shaking lol.
    I still havent seen the notebook. Ive read the book though and that made me weep lol. MSK and the Notebook are both directed by the same person. Maybe thats the reason for the sob fest lol xx
