I watched My Sister's Keeper last night and I loved it. I have not read the book so I can't compare the two. And I have heard that the endings are different. From what I've heard I like the movie ending better. I think the book ending is definitely Jodi Picoult's style but it would have made me want to hurl the book across the room. Ms. Picoult does like to throw her readers a curve ball. I guess for me the books ending sounds way sadder than the movie ending, but stuff like that does happen.
This movie had a great cast, Cameron Diaz, Jason Patric, Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack, and the very talented Abigail Breslin and Sophia Vassilieva.
This story makes you think. How far would you go to save your child? Would you have another baby that would be your other child's savior? Would you be able to let one child suffer the pain of being poked and prodded to save your other child's life? When is it time to let go? To say enough is enough?
I did get confused a few times watching the movie because it does go back and forth from present day to the past but I worked it out. This is a great story and I thought the acting was very good. I would watch it again.
