My Sister's Keeper
Enjoyable - Not as sad as expected - Irene
I do agree with most reviews that the directors could have made a better job of it but all the same I found it enjoyable. I it was a sad film but I was blubbering as I expected to be after listening to all the radio reviews etc.. I think a parent would be more moved by this than any other.

Disappointing - moviegirl
This was a great book and a poor movie. They ruined it with the "Hollywood ending" scenario. The end of the book was brilliant and why they didn't use it is stuptifying. So often a good... MORE
