My Sister's Keeper

Cindy and I chose this movie over 'The Ugly Truth' starring Katherine Hiegl and Gerrard Butler as we both felt it was 'our type' of movie, you know, crying movies.
Boy were we right.
It was 'our type' of movie alright.
We practically sat there and cried from beginning to end, by the time the movie was over, we just sat there ( with everyone else in the theatre) while the credits rolled and tried to compose outselves.
This is a movie based on Jodi Piccoult's novel. It is about a girl who was born as a donor for her sister who has leukemia. She was genetically engineered to be a perfect match for her sister, so from birth, she has been in and out of hospitals, donating this and that to her sick sister. She finally has enough, and sues her mother for medical emancipation.
Her mom is then faced with the awful dilemma of having to choose to save her sick daughter or allowing the daughter to die and let the other daughter have her freedom.
The movie was so well-made and so heart-wrenching that it made both of us appreciate life so much better after the movie.
I know I've said it so many times before, but seriously, people need to take my advice this time. If you feel like a touching movie, WATCH THIS!!
