With a friend who has also read the book, we watched the movie version of the book My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult on Friday. The movie was released in 2009, and some of the cast list is as follows:
Anna Fitzgerald - Abigail Breslin
Sara Fitzgerald - Cameron Diaz
Kate Fitzgerald - Sofia Vassilieva
Taylor Ambrose - Thomas Dekker
Campbell Alexander - Alec Baldwin
If I had not read the book, I would have liked this movie. The basic plotline was the same, but several of the key characters from the book were left out such as Julia Romano. Also, Kate, Anna, and Jesse looked too young when compared to how I pictured them. Several of the events were rushed and disjointed and the ending of the movie was also completely different than the book.
On the positive side, this movie was full of emotion. Some parts were very sad, and made me want to cry. While others, sparked laughter.
Again, this movie was great by itself, but when compared with the book, it did not reach my expectations.
