I am a huge fan of Abigail Breslin. I thought that she did a tremendous job is Little Miss Sunshine. I enjoyed her in Definitely, Maybe and Nim's Island. I even tolerated the movie Kit Kittridge: An American Girl which was two hours of my life that I wish that I could have back (not due to any fault of her acting).
I believe that Abigail Breslin is one of the rising stars in acting at the moment. Her ability to act and react on camera is true. With her acting, as opposed to many young actors, the viewer doesn't see the machinations behind her actions or choices. She never seems to break character at any point in the movie/scene. She always seems to get it right.
Another plus of this movie is Joan Cusack. When any of the Cusack clan is in a movie, I am there. No questions asked. No amount of money denied. Unfortunately, she plays a small part of this movie, but an important part.
This movie isn't going to be for everyone. If you like real dramas that make you think and make you cry--run to see this movie; pass GO, get your $200, and rush to this movie. This is the modern day Whose Life is it Anyway? which raises all kinds of medical ethics questions. It also brings to thought the age-old Mary Shelley Frankenstein question--just because we can, should we do something?
I don't want to give away the plot of the story or the premise. The movie is an absolute stunner that will have the hardest of souls with tissues and/or handkerchiefs in hand (does anyone carry handkerchiefs these days?).
The acting is fantastic from top to bottom and Cameron Diaz gives an amazing and appropriate performance as the mother. While there a few shortcomings to the movie (namely, the whole idea of Judge the dog), this is definitely a movie worth seeing.
CAVEAT: You really have to pay attention in this movie. Most of the movie is done in narration (so you have to remember the sound of the difference voices for it to make sense--which is easy if you are paying attention) and done in flashback (you have to remember where you are in the movie at all times, e.g., past, present, distant past, near past, etc).
I rate this movie zero watches:
