My Sister's Keeper

A heart-wrenching, well-acted, factually inspired film in which a headstrong, fed-up, 11-year-old student (Abigail Breslin) hires an epileptic lawyer (Alec Baldwin) in Los Angeles in order to sue her worried, stressed-out parents (Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric) for medical emancipation and to be granted a hearing before a grief-stricken judge (Joan Cusack) so that she can have the legal right to make decisions regarding her own body and donating a kidney to her strong-willed, older, leukemia-stricken sister (Sofia Vassilieva) who is in renal failure.
