This is so not a theatre movie. This is one of those movies you watch with your mom, or your sister or with your best friend and have a handy box off tissues for easy convenience. I liked this movie a lot though. There was a family being torn apart and ethical issues - though the ethics are miniscule in the plot. This movie played like a book. It had multiple narratives and multiple view points. It also had a twist. I think this was an absolutely wonderful role for Diaz. I've seen all of her movies and think this was the most adult role she has ever played and she did a great job. I think she finally spreading her actor wings and trying new things out like her next movie which I can't wait to see called The Box. I have only one minor issue: why is it always Leukemia? Or this type of cancer in the only one that effects children and teens in books and movies e.g. Remember Me, Sisterhood of thr Travelling Pants, etc. At least in Grey's Anatomy the Chief's niece is dying of ovarian cancer. Unless you don't mind people hearing you cry... a lot, you should probably wait until this comes out on DVD where you can really cry your heart out the way you would like to and not restrained because you're in public and not wanting to wail like a baby in front of everyone.
