OkIt was a very touching movie but they changed SOOO much they made Jesse 2 young and took the "troubled teen" bad boy away from him, they took out Julia, The gaurdian ad litam, they really didn't show the friendship between anna and mr.Alexander, cambell, and they changed the ending. Really pradictable anyway if u liked the movie read the book cause it's like 2 billion times better.Score: 4/5
Alas! Adaptation is nine tenths of the law!My Sisters Keeper, the movie, honestly was not one of those film adaptations I was absolutely sure about, even before I had the pleasure of reading the brilliant original work of art by Jodi Picoult. Here's how it turned out for me. I saw the movie, but not in the movies, and it had the overall sentiment and excess melodrama of a Hallmark film or some run-of-the-mill episodic drama. I had no problem with Sofia Vassalieva's portrayal of Kate, the cancer-stricken elder daughter, but I wasn't so sure about Abigail Breslin's portrayal of kate sister, Anna. Anyway, I was in the grey area about the movie. Then, several years later, i read the novel, and....well, I loved it. It was, and certainly IS five times more engaging and compelling than the film. After reading the novel, I viewed the film and well, reading the book helped me to make up my mind about the film. The film, compared to the novel, was a deliberate disappointment. Instead of the main story being told from ALL the main characters' points of view, director Nick Cassavetes wanted to put Anna way up front. While Jesse is a pyromaniac and a rebel in the novel, in the film, he is a depressed artist, seemingly with nothing interesting to say. The film even left out Campbell Alexander's backstory, and it completely excluded the guardian ad litem, Julia. If I may take a guess, the book's intention was (and is) to explore the impact of a one person's life on the lives of those around him/her. Whereas director Nick Cassavetes had the intention of explaining the all too familiar subject of "parent vs. child;" what happens when the parent refuses to listen to the child. Maybe--just MAYBE, mind you--that's why he chose to put the relationship between Anna and her mother, Sara, on the front line. Nevertheless, Cassavetes did not stay true to Picoult's stunning, original material. Now, I would still look at the movie, but only for the sake of comparing it to the book, NOT exactly for pleasure. However, if you are going to see this movie, the first thing you need to do is not read the book...if that is possible..Score: 2/5
LOVE N EH...Dont get me wrong, i LOVE the movie however, they skipped a bunch of key factors from the book like the ending, and the guardian ad litem but other than that AMAZING MOVIE.Score: 4/5
5 Stars(:!!!This movie is soo good, its a real tear jerker because the story is so touching. I would still have to say the book was way better, simply because the ending was more realistic. I love both though..Score: 5/5

Slow, Boring, DepressingThis movie is by far the worst movie of the year, the book is a completely different story. The storyline is very slow, it doesn't have much excitement either. This movie is also really, really depressing, I mean the story is fine but the movie just brings you down. Worst movie I have seen in a long time, even Tarzan is a better movie than this..Score: 3/5
