The trailer for My Sister’s Keeper starring Cameron Diaz as an old mom, Jason Patric trying to play someone other than the rapist in Your Friends And Neighbors, Alec Baldwin as a TV lawyer, and Abigail Breslin as, apparently, a little girl who is an asshole. Everybody here wants an Oscar soooo baaad:

I know it’s based on a book, but it’s like a studio executive yelled “Get me a movie about a hot couple with a kid with cancer, and get the director of The Notebook to direct it!” I’m not saying this movie won’t make me cry when I inevitably see it, I’m just saying I’ll be hate-crying hate-tears. (Also, Jason Patric is and forever will be the locker room rapist from Your Friends And Neighbors, and should just take that character on the road or something and stop trying.)

  1. da only chick flik ive seen is da mastur of disguys and i never lauff so hard in my LiFE!!! dat movie is my faverite of all time. he be like i am princ lamijama LOL den he like i bet you got a little weener and some tinee nuts HAHA it s da best!!

  2. When i get married, i am going to threaten divorce all the time. IF YOU DON’T GO TO THE BEACH, I’LL DIVORCE YOU. It’ll be our little joke, that only i will get.

    Also what is up with the title? Doesn’t the allusion imply that the one sister murders her other sister and then lies about it?

  3. Yep. I feel the same way about the guy who played the child-molester father in “Happiness.” No matter what he’s in, he will never not be that guy.

    This is one movie that may be better than the book because My Sisters Keeper had mediocre writing, ulikable charachters, and a bad ending. The only thing going for it was a juicy plot, which is mostly what the movie is using.

    And the roflcoptr goes, “lolololololol!”

  6. I feel your hate-crying hate-tears, Lindsay. They get sucked out of me, and then I am bitter. Best reason to watch chick-flicks alone with a glass of wine.

  7. Jason Patric is so totally an almost vampire. I don’t know about this Friends And Neighbors thing you speak of.

    p.s. I feel like in the book the healthy daughter did the right thing by suing her parents. They were just using her to help the sick daughter. That’s what I got anyway.

  8. OHHHH Friends and Neighbors should so go on the WMOAT list.

  9. Wow, I just read the plot synopsis for the book, and I think it is probably worse than you even realize.

    Is that Snow Patrol, too? Check, check and check. It looks unbearably terrible.

  11. The book by Jodi Picoult was amazing. This movie better do right instead of changing it to a happy ending.

    this makes me angrier than anything ever. fuck you my sister’s keeper

  13. I think cancer boyfriend was the guy who plays John Connor in the Terminator tv show.

  14. Gotta admit, I loved the book — even the twist ending, which has been changed in the movie: http://www.joblo.com/sisters-keeper-ending

    Oh my God…
    LIIIIIIIFE is beautiful but i’ts COOOM-PLIIII-CAAA-TEEED

    That just made my day…

  16. Umm, isn’t a keeper the alternative to a tampon that involves a small cup to be filled…

    • That reminds me of that time Tori Amos was making an awkward joke, like, “I hate Britney’s song “Toxic” because it makes me think of Toxic Shock Syndrome,” and I’m all Tori, that’s not funny because it’s its own word, too, and I feel that way about your Keeper joke.

  17. So, I’m really anti-Jodi Picoult. I think her books are like mainstream trash. But this trailer really makes me want to watch the movie and now I’m all confused. I’ll hate-cry hate-tears with you, Lindsay.

    I am a sucker. I teared up. And now I want to call my big sister.

  19. Is that the same director that two decades ago called for practically the same movie, but cast it with Bett Midler and Barbara Forehead Hershey? Except he’s switching it up this time and killing the kid instead of the spoiled friend?

  20. Do moms of cancer victims really wear Uggs? No. Just Cameron Diaz’s characters.

  21. This looks like the 300 of chick flicks.

  22. don’t reallly have a problem with this nonsense except for stupid ass Cameron Diaz, who the hell would believe that crap? worst casting ever.

    Cameron actually looks fine in this.
    Jason Patric should have WON and Oscar for Friends And Neighbors. Best monologue in film history. Highest degree of difficulty as well. He killed in Rush and Narc too.
    Writer is a snide asshole, Patric is as good as anyone working. He will lift this chicks flick to something watchable. This is one movie I’ll let my old lady drag me to.
