My Sister's Keeper is based on a Jodi Picoult novel, and after watching the movie you hope the book better managed to balance what it tries to tell. There's hint of side stories in the movie, but then they're never followed. That's a huge no no.
A painful subject, and a movie often painful to watch. Not always of the reasons they hoped for, but because they stumble telling the story. In single scenes every now and again you get what they was aiming to accomplish throughout the movie, but it doesn't manage to save it.
It's got its good sides as well, but overall it feels like potential down the drain. An interesting subject to begin with, some good acting performances and the glimpses of what could have been in the pro colomn.
