Last weekend my family and I had a nice get together for
family movie night. This is a time to have some quality time together and watch
a family friendly film. We all hung out together and watcher Heaven Is For Real. We unfortunately did not have the chance to see this film in the theaters so
this was our first time experiencing the movie.
Having a #1 New York Times best-selling book you know this is has the
ability to be a great movie. Would the story in the book transfer well to the big
screen?
Well we were all interested to find out. This film brings the
profoundly moving story of the Burpo family to life. This movie is a
heartwarming movie where a young boy miraculously recovers from a near-death
experience with vivid memories of his visit to Heaven. The movie was wonderful,
and tear jerking. I think the movie was
just as good, or even better than the book. I just love the job Greg Kinnear did as Colton’s father, he is such a great
actor he has come so far from his “Talk Soup” days long ago….
Check out this exclusive Wal-Mart extra, the exclusive bonus disc, which features the Burpo family.
We loved the extras that included six deleted scenes and the “Colton Goes to Heaven” featurette, taking fans behind the scenes for a look at the journey of bringing the book to the big screen. After the film we discussed what we thought, we were really touched by Colton’s story. If you are a religious person or not… you will still question is this Heave for Real? I always believed there was a heaven and that heaven is REAL. So seeing this movie, did not sway my beliefs.. But if you may question your beliefs you just may be swayed by this true story.

We just watched this movie the other night. My 11 year old son asked us to buy it. It was a really good movie. We watched it again the next day.
I was wondering about this movie. It seems overwhelming! I think I would need for my hormones to come down before I can watch it
I just loved this movie. I am going to rent it again this week.
I haven't seen it yet, but I know I'll be an emotional mess! It looks like such an inspiring story.
