My Sister's Keeper

Intentional weepie about a family dealing with cancer, from the king of weepies, Nick Cassavetes ("The Notebook").  What elevates this movie above your typical Hallmark fare is the acting by the 3 lead actresses: Cameron Diaz (yes, it's surprising when she is really good in a drama), Abigail Breslin, and newcomer Sofia Vassilieva, who plays the dying sister.  The story is touching, emotional, and really pulls at the heartstrings.  If you are in need of a good cry, watch this movie (but bring tissues).


4 out of 5 stars
