It was a very touching movie. Outstanding acting.

I thought the movie was great. It raised a good moral question about the value of a person's life. I think the actress that was playing the part of the sick girl should have been credited too along with Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin. I would be careful though if you have a tendency to become depressed. This movie caused me to have some depressed feelings.

I loved the movie especially the strong personality of Cameron Diaz's character. The acting was great from the entire cast and YES I cried.

Good movie, not as much of a tear-jerker as I was expecting. Cameron Diaz did a very good job portraying a mother.

The ending was what made me shed a tear. It was when Cameron was given the okay to finally let her daughter go. It was touching and emotional to see Cameron sleep by her side one final night. I also enjoyed the scrapbook scene when she reminisced about the memories she had with her loved ones. Another tear-jerking scene.

I read the book and thought the book and the movie were great. The movie had a different ending than the book. It was an interesting twist. It is what most people that read the book thought what if... A movie that makes you think and makes your heart cry. As the mother what would I do. It is easy to think what you might do when all the facts are given.

I thought this movie was phenomenal-- a tearjerker, for sure. My wife and I went to see it together, neither of us being familiar with the book that it is based on. (After seeing it we heard that the ending in the movie is different from the ending in the book, so readers beware..) We thought it was a very touching, realistically emotional movie, with great use of flashbacks for the story progre...more

The movie was good....but left out very important part that were in the book that I felt were important to the plot of the story. I was disappointed with the movie, but if you have not read the book the movie would be good.

I liked the courtroom scene where her brother tells her to tell the truth and she does.

The movie was a little too formulaic for me and too much of a tear jerk-er. good solid acting.

This is a VERY good movie- it is very real and deep. But it can be very depressing though! So buyer beware. ha ha

A well-done, sensitive film. I enjoyed it through my tears.

Great movie. I'd see it again and will definitely buy it when it comes out on dvd.

I found the scenes with the scrap book to be very touching. The characters interaction during the chemo sessions brought about laughter and tears from the veiwers. All in all a very tender story about life and a families ultimate sacrifice for each other.

Very Good

I really liked the scene on the beach.
rizobee 07.08.09 3:02am(Hide)(Show)
It was such a raw, real, powerful movie. The acting was amazing. It was so well written and directed. I loved the creativity and emotion of the sceen with the scrapbook. I was touched by the teen love aspect. My favorite sceen was between the mom and daughter near the end of the movie.
PattyTatenco 07.07.09 11:59pm(Hide)(Show)
The movie did not do the book justice. It was a good film but the book was great. The movie characters lacked development and substance and all the humor and emotions of the book characters.
Charles_Hamilton 07.07.09 11:18pm(Hide)(Show)
Acting was terrific throughout the movie. The best was last, of course, bringing tears to most everyone ... the scenes with the scrapbook which allowed "mom" to finally surrender to the ultimate outcome.
Mose 07.07.09 1:30pm(Hide)(Show)
I give this movie 5 stars. The beach scene was one of my favorite scenes, it really tugged at my heart.

the back and forth was a tad confusing. sad movie but well done.
Damina 07.07.09 5:29am(Hide)(Show)
It is a great movie to watch. One of my top tear jerkers!!!
its a 5 because it ended differently than anyother ordinary movie!
fightonmo 07.07.09 1:38am(Hide)(Show)
So sweet and touching. I really liked the way the narrative flowed from each family member's personal view of the story. Definately a ten-tissue tear jerker!

I give it five stars. It made me cry. It was a heart felt movie.
Lbaca 07.06.09 6:47pm(Hide)(Show)
the only scene was when the two ran out of the party and the next scene shows them in bed. They should have left them
as innocent as possible..other that that the movie was excellent..

this was a great movie. there was not a dry eye in the entire theatre. makes you ponder about life and death. a very deep movie.

Enjoyed Cameron Diaz in a more grown-up part. Every actor did a great job. We hadn't read the book so we liked the twist to the ending.
AEsquibel 07.06.09 1:36pm(Hide)(Show)
I LOVED this movie. I just dont understand why Cameron Diaz is the only one getting credit on the commercials. So what if she didnt use the makeup department!! I think the girl that played the cancer victim deserves a lot of credit. Both girls were great.

i enjoyed the movie, kind of sad. I like the part where the brother finally talks up in court.
ddm967 07.06.09 9:40am(Hide)(Show)
I really liked this movie. It was sad but I knew that before going to see the screening. I thought Abigail Breslin did a great job in this one. The actress who played her dying sister was the best. It was such a heartwarming movie as at the same time it was sad. It really made me think and motivated me to want to squeeze every second out of every day from here forth. It's nice to see a movie...more

Truly enjoed this movie. Everyoneone in the theater was crying. All the actors did a beautiful job in their roles. The makeup job was exceptional on the sick child. Best part also was that no one was texting or talking during the movie.Thank you, I always appreciate the free screenings.

It was good, but their was some strong language.
gerald373 07.04.09 5:11pm(Hide)(Show)
Cameron Diaz should get an academy award for her role. So should the actress from Medium. If you go and see this movie and do not feel the emotional pain these people are going through, you are a robot. Sorry robots. Take a lot of tissues. Eventhough, extraordinarily sad, it is a must-see.
meredith1973 07.04.09 4:29pm(Hide)(Show)
The movie flowed so well it's hard to choose a scene that stood out. It took my heartstrings within minutes of the opening scene and kept tugging them throughout the movie.
AuntieQuaint 07.04.09 1:27pm(Hide)(Show)
I loved the scenes shared with Abigail & Sofia--always touching and well acted.

As a mother I thought this was roght on the money. You fight for your chils life.
Thanks I loved this movie

Both my husband and I were profoundly disappointed with the failure of this movie to give hope to the family and viewers of the surety of life after death. No mention of God or the saving gift of belief in Jesus was ever made leaving us all with vague suppositions that after death we will be in a better place...but we won't-NOT WITHOUT BELIEVING THAT JESUS DIED FOR OUR FAILURES AND NOW LIVES AS P...more
