My Sister's Keeper Movie Synopsis

Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian (Jason Patric) live an idyllic life with their young son and daughter. But their family is rocked by sudden, heartbreaking news that forces them to make a difficult and unorthodox choice in order to save their baby girl's life.

The parents' desperate decision raises both ethical and moral questions and rips away at the foundation of their relationship. Their actions ultimately set off a court case that threatens to tear the family apart, while revealing surprising truths that challenge everyone's perceptions of love and loyalty and give new meaning to the definition of healing.

  it was better than i thought it would be. cameron acting was incredible i just didn't like her character. i got confused because it is about annas lawsuit and then just all about kate.

  Powerful. Sad. The moral issues are gripping.

  very heavy but well done. I wish they would have followed the book more.
