The Russell Girl 2008


File:The Russell Girl film poster.jpg

     Sarah Russell is 23 years old and she lives in Chicago.  She learns from her doctor that she has an aggressive form of leukemia.  He has scheduled an appointment with a specialist for that week.  Instead of remaining in Chicago for her appointment she cancels it and returns to her family home.  Her parents think she is just there for a visit but she is running away.  Because of an accident that happened in her past, she thinks karma has come back to her and she deserves to die. 
     Warning, this is a Hallmark Movie.  It will try to squeeze every tear you can muster from your eyes!!  This is interesting and the character development is good so you do care about the people involved.  3* (This movie is OK)

120 min, TV Movie, Drama directed by Jeff Bleckner with Amber Tamblyn, Jennifer Ehle, Henry Czerny, Paul Wesley, Tim DeKay, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Daniel Clark, Ben Lewis, Max Morrow.

Note:  Imdb 6.8 out of 10, 66% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon 4.7* out of 5* with 23 reviews.
Special Note:  This movie was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  Even through there is a difference in their ages of 16 years, Amber Tamblyn reminds me of Lauren Graham from The Gilmore Girls.
