My Sister's Keeper

What could have been a great movie based on the book by Jodi Picoult was a disappointment to me. Great acting by Breslin and Vassilieva as young girls with adult issues. Baldwin and Cusack display their usual good acting. Diaz is barely believeable as the mother tortured by her child's illness who becomes a zealot to save her regardless of consequences. The change to the end was a major mistake in my book. The original ending provided not only a major plot twist but some kind of meaning to the story. Not showing the turmoil of the oldest son was also a major mistake as it provided an important view into the issues of focusing all on one child at the expense of the family unit. Overall, okay, but could have been much better.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
