There's no question that this is a really intriguing drama and a drama that I think deserved better treatment than it gets here because I think Nick Cassevetes -- I don't think he's a very good director, really.

The decision to avoid unnecessary sentimentality defines this film, elevating it to a more thoughtful if a touch less engaging arena, sacrificing emotional escapism for conversation provoking tragedy.

Diaz is a whiny irrelevance, but sharp supporting work from Alec Baldwin and Joan Cusack makes the proceedings tolerable for boyfriends.

Fans of Picoult's novel are likely to be at least modestly disturbed by the liberties that Cassavetes takes.

Mar 18, 2012Incredibly messy and not focusing in anyone beyond the bad performance of Cameron Diaz. They tried to create a controversy that would be interesting but they gave up of everything to forcibly take the audience to tears.Júnior D Super Reviewer
