    Heaven Is for Real

    Reviewed by

    I think that watching HEAVEN IS FOR REAL requires some sort of faith to believe in a message that is being drummed into one's brain non-stop. The concept of the film, the concept of a heaven are hardly things to be taken lightly. I am a man of faith and like most my final destination would have to be this Garden Paradise... However, I am here dealing with a FILM which has a 'cutie' of a boy, a wonder family, a town without blemish; pretty severe money problems crop up to show that not all is a bed of roses. And so it goes... The film tries very, very hard to be on a level with Heaven. Every single person is just too good to be true. The film is overly preachy and eventually drowns in its own 'preachiness'. Something very wrong executed by almost any religious group, be it Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhism, no matter the faith... IS to PROSELYTIZE 'ad infinitum', beating someone over the head with the same message to the point of no return. It's the surest way of turning someone off, perhaps for good. Faith is a good. Would it be that more had faith in a higher power! But over this issue, one can't beat a person into submission! It just doesn't work that way!

    You are a 'man of faith' who has issues with the movie. I am an agnostic, who does not. It is a producer's fantasy of how he wants the original story to be ingested, so I did not take it's delivery particularly seriously - I was there for the message, the journey, and the joy of it - which I got. It was a movie to deliver the story which I had already heard about. To that end it delivered. Proselytizing 'ad infinitum'? I guess that is subjective: the agnostic thought it was just fine... no bruising, as there was no beating (into submission) whatsoever. It is, what it is; lovely. Hugs, Bridget.
