It's impossible to write a review without spoilers for this movie so I'll simply say....Fantastic Cast, Emotional story, Well written but average direction (hence 9/10 not 10)For me the direction in the first half could have been better but you'll forget about it after a while. The ending could have been better too. The Director has missed a trick here. When you watch it (and love it still) you'll know what I mean and think about the ending you actually wanted.All that said, you have to see this movie!

Anna Fitzgerald (Abigail Breslin) was deliberately conceived to provide for her dying sister Kate (Sofia Vassilieva). As Kate's condition deteriorates, Anna is expected to donate her kidney to save Kate's life. She hires lawyer Campbell Alexander (Alec Baldwin) to sue her parents Brian (Jason Patric) and Sara (Cameron Diaz) for medical emancipation.This tear jerker melodrama tries to add some court drama. It follows the various characters from their points of view. The actors push their emotional limits. The important thing here is that there are no villains, a kid is dying and there is family dysfunction. I would prefer to follow Kate for the whole movie. She has the most compelling melodrama in a teen romance. Also she's the center of everybody's stories. The court drama poses a few problems with limited solution. The twist solves most of the problems but leaves one dangling thread. There is no way Kate would do that to Anna based on their relationship on screen. Overall, the movie gets a couple of sniffles and the court drama became less important.

I've read the book, of course the ending in the movie disappointed. Don't get me wrong it is a very good movie and the acting is breathtaking, but the characters aren't seen in as much depth as the book and that does ruin it a bit. (for example Jesse's drug issue, Brian's love of astronomy, how Sara initially sent Anna away to give blood to Kate right after her birth). the fact that Kate dies is predictable and Sara's character in the book is very different from the one in the film, in the novel Anna dies, it is a painless death, how she went from healthy to on the verge of death in one page shows how death is unpredictable on the other hand Kate looks like a corps, you already know she is dead before she actually is. do you get me? Now i am not saying this film isn't good, because it is, but as a person who has read the book it didn't meet my expectations. the prologue of the book is haunting,
