  Looking In A Mirror (My Sister's Keeper) by Reenie

  by jerry1227

  I was able to see My Sisters Keeper on the opening night of 6/26/09, which is also my birthday.
  
  I was amazed at how closley the movie resembled my own story with my daughter, (Tracy) who passed away on 4/20/09 at the young age of 23 from a long term illness. My daughter had all of the same symptons, emotions, highs and lows, struggles, and even down to the same name of the hospital that the daughter in the movie was treated at .
  
  My daughter always told me that she wanted to write about her life story and share her feelings and emotions she had to endure through 13 of her 23 years. I feel that Tracy wrote this movie from up above to share with all.
  
  This is one of the best birthdays I have ever had. So I thank everyone in the movie for the roles you played and how real you made the movie out to be.
  
  Keep fighting for your children and love them every day, for you never know what tomorrow will bring.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Reenie from Chicago

  My Sisters Keeper

  by Pheynophilia

  A very sad but beautiful movie about sisterhood and the lengths one will go to for the love of a sister. This is definitely a "MUST GO". Not necessarily a date movie, but a great movie to go see with your best friend, sister, or mother.. Don't forget the box of tissues. You will surely be sobbing by the end of this one!

  most amazing movie- until the end

  by mileycyrusfanxo

  i have been counting down the days until this movie came in theaters. i have read almost every jodi picoult book and this one was by far my favorite. i was crying the whole entire movie and it was seriously amazing.... until the end. This end of this movie killed it for me. I was finally thinking that the movie was equally as good as the book until the ending of this movie was 100% different then the book. The ending of the book made the whole story amazing and unpredictable. They changed the ending in the movie and made it predictable. So if you have not read the book you will absolutely love this movie but if you have read it..the ending will disappoint you.

  Heart Wrenching

  by dtwrites

  Even if you have read the book, this movie is still worth seeing. It is a 10 hankie film though to warn you up front! Very well done considering it was only an hour and 45 minutes long and I was impressed by the performances by all the actors!
  
  Definitely worth seeing but you won't leave with dry eyes....

  My Sister's Keeper

  by Booklover174

  I am a very big Jodi Picoult fan, have read ALL of her books so far and was so looking forward to seeing this novel on screen (since Twlight turned out so well!) Well, the ending was totally different and that really disappointed me. If I hadn't read the book, the actors and actresses in My Sister's Keeper were excellent.

  Disappointing adaptation of an amazing book

  by lkdc816

  If you read the book - DO NOT GO SEE THE MOVIE. I read the book just a few weeks ago, and was completely captivated by it. The story was touching, ending surprising and tear jerking. The movie completely changed the true meaning of the book and took away from the integrity of the original story. The acting was great, but it was all a bit of overkill. They should have let the original story speak for itself and not try so hard. So disappointing.

  My Sisters Keeper

  by kristiflys

  My daughter and I rushed out to the midnight performance and enoyed the movie all the way up to the end, I don't want to disappointed you and give any thing away BUT the just of the story leads up to the end and then the change comes. WISH it would have ended like the book.......

  WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!

  by EHorn

  What were they thinking when they changed Jodi Picoult's riviting original ending from the book???!!! Without the book's shocking twist the movie ends up being sad, sadder and saddest with no dramatic climax. The original ending was much more thought provoking. All of the actors in this film did fantastic jobs in their roles. It's Cameron Diaz's best performance of her career. This is a good movie which could have been great.

  My Sister's Keeper - The Movie - It's like changing the ending of Twilight!

  by kgumtexas

  How would all those Twilight fans that read the book...then saw the movie, only to learn that the director changed the ending so that Bella falls in love with Jacob instead of Edward?
  
  That is how I felt when I saw My Sister's Keeper. Nevermind that a main character was missing, nevermind that some of the characters were never developed...BUT TO CHANGE the ending--which is fundamental to the movie...is CRAZY!!! I mean, really, you should have changed the name of the movie because as it is...all you have is another very sad movie about a child with cancer. The twist at the end (of the book) is what made the book so awesome....SHAME ON ALL of you that had a hand in changing the end of the movie...you should have had the courage to keep it the way it was written.

  my sisters keeper

  by hjtc

  I cried from start to finish!! I was a wreck the rest of the day! Every actor in the movie deserves an award especially the sister Kate!! I saw the movie with my daughter. I think all siblings should see the movie. It sure gives a reality check, makes you appreciate what you have and makes you think about what you want while on this earth!

  Let the movie be it's own medium!

  by ironyistruth

  After having read some of the more negative reviews of the film, I felt like I had to share my opinion. True, I didn't read the book before watching the film, but it was a highly rewarding and moving experience I have never had with any other movie. I went with a friend who had previously read the book, and he informed me of the different endings after we left the theatre, and I really felt like the film would have lost something had they stayed true to the novel. This movie was set up in such a specific way, and to have included the tragic turn of events in the novel, I feel the film would have lost some of the messages it was trying to put out. To hate the film because the ending was not the same as the book isn't really giving it a fair chance. Perhaps if I had read the novel first, I would feel differently, but I am personally glad I could see the movie with no restrictions or limitations set in my mind. Plus, this was the only film to ever make tears shoot out of my eyes. A+
