1 out of 5 stars Bleugh.   September 8, 2010
S. Hacking (Watford, UK)
As soon as I started watching this film, I wondered why I was watching it, but I gave it a go. I watched to the end and found myself wishing it would finish faster.
What could be a nice touching storyline is turned into a maniplulative, over melodramatic "tear jerker", not since I had the misfortune of seeing "PS I Love You" have I needed a sick bucket so badly.
Yes, the acting was good, and this is the reason I think I rented the movie, because of the actors, but I wondered why these people were involved in such a pile of sentimental schmaltz.
Avoid, unless this is your thing. (if you want a proper "tear jerker", see Million Dollar Baby!)

This was a nice surprise of a movie. It had a real sad tone, and a twist to make you think. Great watch.



4 out of 5 stars A vivid window into those suffering with the effects of cancer   September 3, 2010
AwakeNow.co.uk
My Sisters Keeper is a powerful and emotional film of a family whose daughter has Leukaemia and another child is genetically engineered to keep the first daughter alive as a human donor because of the use of the umbilical cord blood, bone marrow etc.

The film is moving and opens a vivid window into those suffering with the effects of cancer and how a family can be torn and divided in the midst of such pressures and the fight for ones life. As the films asks: `Does one have the right to live (or die) at the expense of another?'

The younger donor daughter decided that she must have control over her body and files a case to prevent her parents from having one final body part, which they believe will keep the oldest daughter alive.

There is a good twist to the film, and also one outburst of the F word and the pressure pot of a day out at the beach explodes into a possible divorce. A stirring movie.

A vivid window into those suffering with the effects of cancer

One day i will learn my lesson i really will. I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic after i read the book. That film was rubbish. After finishing My Sister's Keeper earlier this evening, i couldnt resist and i went and found the film on a certain tubey site. Even though i had heard it wasnt like the book, i still watched it all.

And boy what a letdown! Jesse in the film, is so rubbish. They dont capture him at all, he's not the pyromaniac, angry person he is in the book, he's dyslexic and likes to hang on street corners till late, i mean come on!

Julia isnt in the film at all. Campbell Alexander is rubbish in the film. Such an important person in Anna's life in the book and he's barely there in the film. And his dog is a German Shepherd! Not a Border Collie as portrayed here. These things may seem little but are important.

Brian is, well why is he there? Just because they needed a dad in the film, he barely does anything. He doesnt even look at the stars once.

Judge De Salvo is a woman. One of the best scenes in the book is when Sara shaves her head, and so does Anna to be like Kate. You wont find Anna doing that here. And the fact that she was only 11 in the film and Kate 15 really annoyed me.

Another fab scene in the book is Kate pretending to drink her own urine, it just doesnt come across so well in the film. All the scenes are too short to have any real meaning.

It's like the director read little snippets of the book instead of the whole thing. The girl who plays Anna, she does it so wrong. Like a robot reading a script that's behind the camera or something. Anna in the book is quiet, afraid of letting her mother down and Kate. This Anna bounds into rooms confidently, and it's Jesse who does the big reveal in court that Kate said she wants to die. He doesnt even go to court in the book. And the ending is completely different to the book and just ruins it all.

Wow ok i'm rambling, I'm just mad at these authors who write good/great books and let the movie bigwigs ruin them. They should be more like J.K Rowling who said she wouldnt let them make films out of her books unless they did it properly, following the exact story. Makes me never want to watch The Lovely Bones so it does!
