My Sister's Keeper
June 29th 2009 11:11
My Sister's Keeper, based on the popular novel by Jodi Picoult, will no doubt be a success at the box office despite the opinion of the reviewers. Starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric, the movie touches on a sensitive subject about a young girl who sues her parents for the right to make her own decisions about how her body is used particularly in light of a planned kidney transplant to save her older sister's life. The sisters are played by Abigail Breslin and Sofia Vassilieva.
Director Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook), when asked about the alternative ending that featured in the movie replied "I think the book is awesome and I think the movie is awesome and I think that because they’re different, it actually adds to the value of both. I didn’t change the book’s ending. We changed the movie’s ending and the reason why we did it is I think it’s a superior ending for the movie". Movie-goers who are sticklers for the storyline to remain the same may not be as keen and many reviews are calling the movie manipulative and contrived.

Samaritan - sounds like you are best to steer clear of this one particularly in light of how much you enjoyed the book.
