Robots and Family

If you're looking for action, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is definitely your ticket. If, however, you're looking for an actual plot or anything resembling reality, you may have to find a different ticket. Transformers is fun enough and has some funny moments, but you can only watch two nearly indestructible entities try to destroy each other for so long.

Having read the book, I think My Sister's Keeper is a very difficult story to translate to film. That being said, I'm not surprised that it was not done well. Putting aside the altered ending and the absence of a main character, there was additionally just too much missing from the film. The details, the struggles, the memories - all of the little things that made the book compelling - were omitted from the film. It left me with an empty feeling. A lot could have been incorporated into the film if so much time had not been wasted with unnecessarily long, heavy handed, maudlin scenes. All of the actors gave fine performances, but I just wish they had more/better material to work with.
