My Sister's Keeper

I went to the premier of My Sister's Keeper with Helen last night and WOW was it good.

I cried so much that my whole face felt raw from wiping my tears away, but wow what a touching story.

I think it helps as well that I read the book SO long ago that I had forgotten the twist. Also, I really do think that seeing a movie not long after the book means you are always disappointed - as movies never seem to be as good as the book because the level of detail is never there.

I loved it, but it was the most emotional sad movie I have seen since Beaches. It was one of those where you are crying in the happy scenes just cause you KNOW what's going to happen!

  2. I saw twilight a few weeks after reading the book and I wasn't disappointed... but I saw this a few weeks after and was totally disappointed. Can't believe you didn't remember the twist though!!! Even after years :)

    I didn't cry once... I think there's something wrong with me. I don't cry in movies any more- but I still cry watching grey's anatomy and I cry when I'm on hold too long with a bank or something and then they hang up on me :)

  3. yea I guess because I read this when I was commuting and reading a TON of books it just didn't 'stick' :) Now I remember though - once my sister-in-law took a look at the book & reminded me.

    I think I cried a ton too because cancer has effected our family so much, and I just took it to heart.

    Crying over the bank putting you on hold though? Sorry - that made me smile:) It would just make me irate! Granted, I did cry when they messed up my hair highlights AGAIN last week *sigh*
