After seeing this movie yesterday, I feel a responsibility to tell all of you how utterly gut wrenching it is to watch. Oh my! I started crying a good thirty seconds into the movie and the eyes are swollen today. If you are a mother, sister, daughter, brother, father, aunt, or anything in between - beware! It looks at every side of the story, and leaves you an emotional wreck. And I even read the book first! While the acting is wonderful, I just know there is NO WAY I could ever sit through it again. Not to mention, the sisters call each other "sissy" which is what my sisters and I call each other. It was just a cry fest. So, unless you want to cry until can't you breathe...resist the urge to see this one! And, that - is just my opinion!Maybe I should have opted for seeing "Away We Go" which is next on our list, and looks a bit more light-hearted! I'll let you know!

Happy to hear this. I really let movies get to me sometimes (especially if I'm not satisfied with the ending), so I'll stay away from this one.
Thanks for the warning...if I am prepared and know what to expect then I can deal with it better. Maybe a LARGE popcorn would help!!!! cj
i would love to see but just don't know that i can. i still haven't seen pursuit of happyness, 7 pounds - all those sad movies. i just don't do well with them... thanks for the heads up!
