Behold, as I attempt to review a film

I've had My Sister's Keeper sitting on the coffee table from Netflix for a few days.  Every night until now, I wasn't feeling like digging in to a 2 hour movie.
This one was definitely a tear-jerker.   I knew it was going to be because I read the book a few months ago.  Overall, I think they did a pretty good job turning the book in to a movie.  Abigail Breslin is brilliant in any role she plays, and Cameron Diaz definitely played her part well.  It was a little concerning in the beginning that they had placed Alec Baldwin in such a serious role as the lawyer.  He just looked uncomfortable.  The further into the movie, though, the more he seemed to be feeling his part.  I don't like the ending as much as the ending in the book.  But I suppose Hollywood loves a happy ending, and the books was just too sad.
Not a bad one to have on my list of watched movies.
