My Sister's Keeper

My Sister's Story is a moving, unique story based on the novel by Picoult. Centered around a leukemia patient and her sister, the movie covers a staggering amount of topics- death&disease (duh), love, family relationships, hope, justice, and prolly more that I can't think right off the top of my head. This drama was a bit too dramatic, but hey, look at what I just said.

[Why this and not Transformers? Because I am tired of movies with fantastic stuff blowing up but no plot whatsoever. STOP IT, MICHAEL BAY Also something about cancer attracts me because, oh, I don't know, my grandmother has it. Pray for her please?
Oh no, I'm getting off topic. Or am I? ]

PLOT: was excellent. I couldn't predict the storyline, but maybe that's because I watch too little dramas?
Of course, the book is almost ALWAYS better in most respects than a movie, and after I read the synopsis of the book I must say that the book must have been more interesting. Still, the movie's plot was satisfying.

ACTING: Dakota Fanning dropped out of the cancer patient's role after she was told that she would need to shave her head and look like a cancer patient. Wimp.
Well I'm glad she did, because Sofia Vassilieva was almost perfect, in the sense of a sweet, sunny, dying teenager. Abigail Breslin's performance WAS perfect. If you've seen Little Miss Sunshine, you'll know what I mean.
Cameron Diaz once again succeeded to act like a crazy woman. lul.
I don't know if it was the splendid acting or plot that made me CRY for like the ENTIRE 1 hr and 30 min. (Yes, I DO have emotions. :O)

CINEMATOGRAPHY: Nothing special.
I guess the lighting was nice...
but I say that for every movie I watch, lol.

DIALOGUE: The movie opened up rather bluntly, with the main character just SAYING the setting of the movie. I was like facepalm, but as the storyline opened up, I guess that was necessary. But the ginormous amount of narrating bothered me. The characters were developed mostly from that.

Overall, I'd give My Sister's Keeper 8/10
Actually I would've given it 8.5/10 but the crazy thing is I stubbed my toe badly on a LIGHTED step on the way out of the theater, and it started freaking bleeding and turning purple. I must've been some sight; a limping, crying kid staggering out of the movies at 12:30 am (crying because of the movie, stupid. Pain ftw, right.)

...seems legit.
