Jodi Picoult’s ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ Coming to Theaters June 26
Another book-to-film creation hits theaters next month. On June 26, leaving you just enough time to read the novel before watching the movie, the big screen version of Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper releases under the same name.
My Sister’s Keeper is a heart-wrenching, “what would you do if” story about family versus self. It asks the questions how much do you owe to your family members and howw much of yourself should you sacrifice for their health and happiness. It’s the story of child sick with leukemia - Kate, played by Medium’s Sofia Vassilieva - and her sister - Anna, played by Abigail Breslin - who was conceived simply to provide Kate with any necessary transplants.
As they grow up, both girls start to question how much their parents - played by Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric - expect Anna to give up in her own life to save Kate’s. When Anna seeks emancipation so that she can stop undergoing painful medical processes to provide bone marrow and such for Kate, the Fitzgeralds begin to fall apart.
It is a story of familial love, don’t let that fact slip by. These sisters love each other and are connected in a way that most of us will never understand. But also know that you will surely want to bring along a box of tissues … or wait and rent it so that you can watch it and cry your eyes out in the comfort of your own home.
