About this movie

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.

Everything about this film is so bad, that if I were a believer, I'd be embarrassed. The characters are such one-dimensional clichés, they could have used cardboard cutouts instead. The general dialogue and acting are awful. The theological elements are utterly farcical and so awkwardly shoe horned in that it's painful to watch.

Its an ok film based on a real family's stuggles of hope love and faith. Some parts draged out. The trailer for this movie is basically the highlights of this film.

Just what the doctor ordered. The truth will set you free.👼It's very interesting to see that the people who don't like this true story are non-believers and the people who do like it, are genuine true believers in God and think that this movie is great. Just saying. Hahaha
