Life as a Lifeline

Coming up in June is My Sister’s Keeper, a.k.a. the movie for which Cameron Diaz wore a bald cap.

After their daughter is stricken with leukemia, a couple (Diaz and Jason Patric) conceives a younger sister (Abigail Breslin) who can provide a donor match, but the family is surprised and torn apart when, after years of medical procedures, the healthy sister sues her parents for the right to decide how her body is used.

A tearjerker for the middle of the summer movie season? Count me in!
