everything that is bad about hollywood that is reflected in transformers, this film is everything good about hollywood. a compelling story, believable characters, true human emotion. it’s great. it made me cry.
it’s the story of a family that concieves a child to be a donor child for thier older daughter that has lukemia. they will use the younger daughter’s organs for transplants, her blood for transfusions and her bone marrow when needed to keep the older daughter alive. that’s some pretty gruesome stuff if you ask me. but then again, if i had a daughter with a disease like that what lengths would i go to keep her alive? and there is no one that hasn’t been touched by cancer in some way or another. and this film tells the story of how one family was affected.
i’m not generally a big cameron diaz fan. i believe her best work was in the mask with jim carrey about a hundred years ago, but she’s still sexy as all get out. jason patric is fantastic as the husband, the little girl from little miss sunshine is great as the younger daughter. Abigail Breslin is her name and she is spectacular. this little girl is great in everything she’s been in so far. or at least that i’ve seen. she’s gonna be around for a long, long time. unless of course she gets hooked on drugs in her teens and ends up on “where are they now.” let’s hope not, she’s a very talented young actress.
don’t see this movie alone unless you just need a good cry. because cry you will. take a girl and you’ll be her hero for the night. i have to give this movie a five out of five. and i don’t even have anything to give it other than stars. anything else would just be wrong. i’m probably never going to purchase this film just because it’s one of those i’m glad to have seen it, but do not want to see it again. unless i think i might be able to get a little lovin’, then i might pick it up.
