Cons: Weak script for some characters
Summary: I intentionally did not end the title to my review because it was going to exceed the 15 word limit. The "but" in my review title would have been followed by: the movie lacked something which was the compassion that I had expected to feel for ... read more

Pros: Stout performances, a moving story.
Cons: Needed to work out some wrinkles in the directing.
Summary: My Sister's Keeper...could you ask for a more reverent title? The title is more reverent than the movie. It’s not biblical, but it does deal with a moral question—with a moral question that ideally shouldn't be a question.The film was ... read more

Pros: Some good performances, especially from Jason Patric.
Cons: It earns lots of tears, but they feel cheap and obvious.
Summary: Let me be very clear right from the start: I hated Jodi Picoult’s bestselling novel MY SISTER’S KEEPER. It suffered from two things. One, Picoult is one of those writer’s who loves to bounce around from narrator to ... read more

Pros: Great directing, a few shining acting moments.
Cons: Some soundtrack distractions and the runtime length.
Summary: "If you were a woman, you'd understand this kind of movie," I can hear a friend of mine saying about 2009's My Sister's Keeper. Perhaps she's right, but while I found this film interesting and the directing was masterful, I was also pretty ... read more

Pros: Fantastic Cast, Great Soundtrack
Cons: Character Development, Rushed Beginning
Summary: I liked it more than I expected to. And I can thank the cast for that but more of that in a minute. The screenplay was most at fault with the film's problems. First of all, I thought Alec Baldwin who acted very well, had a 2-D character. I know that they ... read more

Pros: Great actors and story.
Cons: Too much crying!
Summary: This movie is an amazing, emotional story. If you are not into chick flicks, you probably wouldn't enjoy this movie. I'm use to Cameron Diaz being in comedies, but she made a great appearence in this genre. I never expected so much from her. You like
