This summer, in between Transformers 2 and Harry Potter 6, there’ll be a tear jerker that will guarantee to make you cry like a baby. Yahoo has the trailer for MY SISTER’S KEEPER, which you can watch using the media player below. Starring big names like Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack and Jason Patric. But the attention will be paid to young actress Sofia Vassilieva who’s spectacular on NBC series Medium. Rumors had it that Sofia got the role after Dakota Fanning stepped down because Dakota didn’t want to shave her head. If her performance excels, this bald head situation could help Sofia get her first Oscar nomination, ya never know. By the way, Cameron Diaz didn’t really shave her head for this movie, she’s wearing one of those bald caps.
Directed by Nick Cassavetes who helmed The Notebook, which is one of my few favorite chick flicks of all time.
In the film, based on Jodi Picoult’s book, Sara and Brian live an idyllic life with their young son and daughter. But their family is rocked by sudden, heartbreaking news that forces them to make a difficult and unorthodox choice in order to save their baby girl’s life. The parents’ desperate decision raises both ethical and moral questions and rips away at the foundation of their relationship. Their actions ultimately set off a court case that threatens to tear the family apart, while revealing surprising truths that challenge everyone’s perceptions of love and loyalty and give new meaning to the definition of healing.
