My Sister's Keeper is an heartbreaking movie!!, 27 June 2009
8/10
Author: Ali 007 from Canada

I saw the trailer on TV and even then i had goose-bumps. This movie is probably the best drama this year so far... Many peoples went out of the theaters because they coulnd watch it until the end but i did and it was the most beautiful movie i have ever seen. Cameron Diaz was absolutely awesome in a serious role in the role of a mother. Sofia V. is compromising since i saw her in Eloise & Medium i went completely mad about her, in this movie she is an absolute show-stopper she was the reason i cried so much in the movie. Seriously Abigail Bresin didn't impress that much in the movie she was like an detail , the flash were on Sofia&Cameron they have such an great chemistry together. I will definitely watch it again and i will buy it when it comes out on DVD for sure. And believe me Sofia V is gonna sweep all the supporting actress awards this year!! with her exquisite performance
