Sara, the domineering mother of Kate, a young girl with cancer. Sara’s other daughter, 11-year-old Anna, was conceived just to serve as a donor for her sick sister. On the outskirts of the family are father Brian, who feels unable to stand up to his wife’s strength, and son Jesse, who craves attention in the face of Kate’s illness. But the complicated situation gets more difficult when Anna hires a lawyer, so that she can control her own body and say "no" to giving a kidney to her sister.

Watched the movie on 22 Oct night with Sylvia

ah-deng says: 3½ / 5 The illness and family elements again touched all the hearts of the audiences. However, Cameron Diaz's mother role is a little over so to speak. On the other hand, I liked one of the quotes Kate said - "I don't care my illness is killing me, but it is killing my family."
