Despre acest film

Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name, Heaven is for Real brings to the screen the true story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son's extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world. The film stars Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® award winning actor Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) claims to have visited Heaven during a near death experience. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth... things he couldn't possibly know. Todd and his family are then challenged to examine the meaning from this remarkable event.

I don't think it was good enough script for Greg kinnear! I guess the idea of it being a no fail film cause of the Christian community is appealing. This story and film was interesting and cute but it wasn't able to hold anyone's interest the 99 minutes. Wait until its on Netflix with the hundred other faith based films that are much more interesting and free.

I'm on a bad movie kick. Terrible films are metacomedies - that is, you watch them not for their intended purpose but for humor about its myriad failures. It's apoplectic theater, vicariously watching the anatomy of a film in its death throes. Unlike a Uwe Boll flick, this extinguishes any film flame you may have had for the week you watched it. The film itself is click bait for theists. Unless you're boring, skip it for a better bad film.

I'm a Christian so I was somewhat exited for this movie; albeit I was somewhat apprehensive, as "Christian" movies can go either way. I must say, I was very disappointed and here are a few reasons why: the bad acting; the story, as cool as it may seem, was not executed well; and there wasn't a good Christian message as, at one part, a woman asked the pastor if her son was in heaven, and he basically "yes, because God loves him," as if, no matter what someone does, they're going to heaven. 1 star.
