Description

What keeps a family together? Nick Cassavetes, the director of The Notebook and John Q, again demonstrates his sure hand with tales of deep human emotion in this inspiring film about a loving family challenged - and united - by a child's illness. Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Alec Baldwin and others in an exceptional cast bring sensitivity to the story of 11-year-old Anna Fitzgerald, conceived to be a donor for her leukemia-stricken sister, and who finally demands the right to control her own body. This act of free will may tear the Fitzgeralds apart. Or it may be the first step to a triumphant realization of devotion, dignity and what it means to be a family.

    A good movie, and sad at the same time. It'll make you shed a tear or two.

    This truly was a sad movie, but it really makes you think. Not to take life for granted. Everyone needs to watch this even if its to remind how short life can be. Powerful story for sure.

    I really liked this movie. I like that despite the serious subject matter, they found moments to be humourous or to show the love within the family. The relationships are done quite intricately and quite well. The acting was done quite well

    My Sister's Keeper is definitely a tear jerker. But the movie succeeds in balancing out the sadder moments with lighter ones so you're not constantly crying. A very well written movie with honest characters that you can relate to. I really recommend seeing My Sister's Keeper.

    Have a box of tissues ready, your gonna need them! Such a sad movie. I have seen it a couple times on tv but i dont have any intention of running out and buying it for myself. I really didnt care much for Camerons character and find that as an actress she is great but not so much in such a dramatic role that this required. Just my opinion but i got really bored whenever her character was on. Definatly worth watching at least once!
