It was a good movie and their handling of a near death expeience was very interesting. But this is a family that I would not want to be near for fear that their tremendous bad luck would be catching. Anything that could go wrong, did go wrong for this family. Miscarriages, broken leg, burst appendix, doubting wife, doubting congregation, etc.

There comes a time when we all question Is heaven for real? On most occasions the act of good seems to far fetched to believe in and solace is found the misery of the event. Based on a four year olds anecdotal account of being invited to heaven after a ruptured appendix it is a truly remarkable tale of faith. Faith and hope are two things adults seem to thrive on to wake up each morning and what is extraordinary about the movie is its focus on the father, a pastor, his peeled s and the adults and how they perceive the question. Heaven is for real? A paradoxical question that questions ones own faith, but not of heaven but of existence. We all seek validation and our state of affairs is almost always based on what we believe. What an extraordinary tale to be told. This is not about whether Heaven is for real, but more about is mankind for real?I say this because what is real is what we decide to believe is real. An amazing cast and an splendid performance by Connor Corum. What is a wonderful capture of Connor's performance, who plays young Colyton Burpo, is the innocence and often heightened glee as he strolls through each scene. Almost as if he, during the making of the film was touched by an Angel. This is more than a feel good movie. It brings you to that point questioning not if Heaven is for real- but are you for real?

As a woman of faith, this movie frustrated me. A pastor who struggles with whether or not heaven is real? Whether Jesus exists? Whether or not his kid really went to heaven when he died on the operating table??? Not much of a pastor then. How can someone as lost as this guy lead a congregation? How can a man of no faith (obviously) stand up and preach about the God of the Bible (although I never saw him crack one open the entire show, not even when he was preaching). It is a terrible premise and it was not at all what I expected from this. Although I should have... Hollywood's interpretation of the Bible and what Christians are like is so off the mark 99% of the time. And so it is with this movie.

I just finished watching Heaven is For Real, which was directed by Randall Wallace. The actors from this movie include Greg Kinnear, Thomas Haden Church, Kelly Reilly, etc. This movie, briefly, is about a boy who went to heaven. When he told his father, the pastor, people started to think he was crazy. The movie is about belief, faith and a person's interpretation of heaven. Honestly I thought the movie was a little bit boring at times, but the end of the movie made me feel emotional and inspired. Overall, I thought the movie had a good message and I felt satisfied with the movie as a whole. I would recommend this movie to families or anyone who is looking for a spiritual type of movie to watch. This is a religious movie, so I think it is good that a person knows that before watching the movie. Finally, I would rate this movie a 6/10.
