My Sister's Keeper
Justin ChangThere's crying and vomiting aplenty in My Sister's Keeper, and audiences may be forgiven the urge to respond in kind. Unsubtle, uneven and undeniably effective, this take-no-prisoners cancer weepie poses a fascinating moral quandary -- a girl fighting her parents for the right to control her body while her older sister wastes away from leukemia -- as a mere pretext for a full-scale assault on the viewer's tear ducts. To the extent that many will deem the assault highly successful, Warner's Keeper could be a sleeper, especially as a femme-friendly alternative to the latest Transformers.
Adapted from Jodi Picoult's 2004 bestseller, My Sister's Keeper is the saga of the long-suffering Fitzgerald family, pivoting on a crucial moment in the lives of two si...
My Sister's Keeper
Claudia PuigMy Sister's Keeper takes a compelling ethical dilemma and turns it into formulaic pap by trying relentlessly to ensure an emotional reaction with sentimental exploitation and plot contrivances. Maybe if the film had adhered more closely to Jodi Picoult's best-selling novel, the result would have been better. Abigail Breslin and Sofia Vassilieva are terrific. But the performances by the older actors are largely forgettable. Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian (Jason Patric) are leading happy, comfortable lives as the parents of son Jesse (Evan Ellingson) and daughter Kate (Vassilieva). When Kate is diagnosed with leukemia, they decide to have a third child, Anna (Abigail Breslin), whose bone marrow can be harvested to help Kate. At 11, Anna r...

My Sister's Keeper
Betsy SharkeySadness settles into My Sister's Guard like bestow upon Seattle in this troubling and troublesome drama of a moribund child, the sister who has been created to lay her and the family that is wasting away alongside of her.
Starring Cameron Diaz as the overprotect, Abigail Breslin as Anna the sister/donor and an especially comminuted Sofia Vassilieva as Kate, with a lifetime of travail filling her 15 years, how could you not be moved by gaffer Collar depart Cassavetes' latest effort?
That seems to be positively what Cassavetes is asking -- no, taxing -- as he puts us directly in the path of this emotional tsunami of a film that makes his prior weepie, The Notebook, a tale of girl and death wrapped in the arms of Alzheimer's, look sentimentally ...
