What a heart-breaking movie! I've heard so much about this film and also the praise that has gone for Jodi Picoult's book. Abigail Breslin is just a fantastic little actress and keeps going on and on to do better things in her career. Cameron Diaz was brilliant as the neurotic and over-bearing mother and Joan Cusack was also on top form as usual ( has she ever been in a dud film?) as the Judge.
Kate has leukemia, and is dying. Her parents speak to a doctor who tells them that the only way they may be able to save her life is to give birth to a special child that they can use as a sort of donor. Her point on earth will be to be given tests and to have parts of her body like bone marrow extracted so that her sister can benefit. However as the child grows she decides that she likes living and doesn't want to sacrifice herself for anybody.
Some incredibly poignant moments make this film one of the most heart-wrenching I have seen for a long time.
