    This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    This film was impossible to watch through all the fierce bouts of projectile vomiting it produced.

    Fuck Hollywood cancer.

    Fuck this manipulative bullshit.

    Fuck all involved.

    I'm off to clean and redecorate my living room.

    All I’ve experienced of Jodi Picoult’s work is her terrible run on Wonder Woman, where she revealed absolute ignorance of everything that made the character exciting. This syrupy and insincere adaptation of her novel doesn’t make the idea of reading her novels any more appealing. A terrific cast — not including Cameron Diaz in full-on Squawk Mode — battle with a mountain of disease-of-the-week cliches, all served up in an unconventionally fractured narrative that could be considered avant-garde. I suspect…

    I would have tolerated this film (big fan of the book) but Cameron Diaz ruined any chance of this being an alright film.

    "Very sad movie, a tearjerker. Cameron Diaz & Joan Cusack gives their best performances of their career. Abigail Breslin gives IMO, a better performance here than she gave in Little Miss Sunshine."

    Ein bewegender Film über einen grundlegenden Konflikt. Darf ich die Gesundheit eines Kindes missbrauchen um das Leben eines anderen zu retten?
    Dass die Familie in diesem Film, der auf einem gleichnamigen Roman basiert, ein weiteres Kind quasi im Reagenzglas zeugt, nur um es als "Ersatzteillager" für die große Schwester zu benutzen, geht dann doch etwas in Richtung Science-Fiction. Wirft aber psychologisch interessante Fragen auf.
    Diesen Film mit einem Happy End zu schließen, wäre unpassend gewesen. Ich möchte nicht vorweggreifen, aber das gewählte Ende ist der Handlung sehr angemessen. Insgesamt ist dieser Film wirklich sehenswert. Auch für Menschen, die sich sonst mit einer anderen Art Film befassen.

    i remember being really pissed off at the ending of the book but then they changed the ending for the movie and that made me even more pissed off.

    Through out the movie I could hear a strange voice in the back. It was Jodi Picoult, the writers and the directer yelling: "Cry you bastards! CRY!"

    So I did.

    Predictable? Yes. Exaggerative? Sure. Purebred drama? Duh!
