I saw the movie last night with my dad and step-mother. It was pretty good for a Christian movie. It really made me think about Heaven so I suppose that the producer really conveyed that point across to me. The only violence in the movie was when a little girl punches out two little boys. Otherwise it was a good family movie.

It was based on a true story.

You should. It is very family friendly and has strong Christian themes in it. I strongly recommend that you go and watch it.

well I am not bringing any kids, so I do not really care how "family friendly" it is.

I hope I do not sound rude for being so blunt, but that is not even on the radar for me

I'm hearing the movie is pretty meh. Not offensively bad like God is Not Dead, but cause it lacks character arcs or even plot development in any meaningful way, its just ok.

Here's a detailed review

If you wanna support a movie that needs some love, pick up Redline (which is two parts F-Zero and one part every action franchise of the 80s).

Yes, it is actually based on a true story.
The book was very descriptive, however, when we watched it we didn't see what we were expecting to see.

Well, it is a nice movie afterall.

A friend gave me this dvd to borrow, i had already read the book a few years ago. I watched it last night.

Thoughts?
Yes in the movie his sister punched two boys for making fun of her brother for talking about seeing Jesus in heaven. I dont remember that in the book?!
