Good idea for a movie, but so cheesly and predictably executed. It's almost as if the characters new they were in a bad Hollywood movie, so they acted accordingly. And stop the repeated slow motion scenes! I felt like half of the movie Good idea for a movie, but so cheesly and predictably executed. It's almost as if the characters new they were in a bad Hollywood movie, so they acted accordingly. And stop the repeated slow motion scenes! I felt like half of the movie was in slow motion. IT HAS LIMITED EMOTIONAL EFFECT. Not sure exactly how long the movie went for, but it felt like way too long. Good idea for a movie, but poorly executed.… Expand

A film with such an emotive topic does not need the overbearing and exaggerative emotional tactics that the director employs to exploit its audiences feelings.

It might make you cry but you'll be equally angry at the complete lack of subtle manipulation. Many of the important issues that the premise raises are skimmed over or ignored, before the ending blows it completely.… Expand

You can't change a twist ending from a book like "My Sister's Keeper" into a predictable ending that was in the movie. Shame on them!!

I am appalled that Jodi Picoult allowed Warner Brothers to completely ruin the best book she has written. Jodi in known for her incredible "last chapter" endings and they removed that from the movie and left a predictable ending!. I I am appalled that Jodi Picoult allowed Warner Brothers to completely ruin the best book she has written. Jodi in known for her incredible "last chapter" endings and they removed that from the movie and left a predictable ending!. I don't get it! If you hadn't read the book you would be terribly confused, it was so "unconnected"! Jessie was hardly in the movie - doesn't one wonder why it is entitled My Sisters Keeper? The makeup artist deserves an Academy Award.… Expand

This film was dreadfully shot and worked. The story is not well written at all, and the characters very unbelievable. It was quite hurtful to me that this film has been commissioned!
