Anyone else see the movie "My Sister's Keeper"?

It's a moving tale of a girl challenging her parents on being a kidney donor for her dying sister. She finds an attorney (so well played by Alec Baldwin) to represent her in court. You feel real sympathy for everyone, including her mother. And there is a little tender love story with a boy who is dying too.

Warning: have tissues ready for the tears you will shed...

That's why I didn't post it...give me a minute.

PS...I did like the movie and the book...I was just pissed that they would change it so dramatically. The author was none to pleased.
