i'm gonna go see the movie "heaven is for real"

[orleans]

2. seen it

greg kinnear was really good--he was the best part of the movie (including the storyline)

that kid started getting a little too cute to suit me, but i'm sure everyone will adore him (except the guy who wrote the review i link too. he didn't adore the kid at all!)

i wanted to be emotionally moved by this film and i wasn't.
it takes you down roads that go no where. and it gets pretty sappy.

one thing that was made clear in the film is that even though the child was "near death" he did not "die" or flatline on the operating table--at least as far as the family was told. and if that is true i wonder how this experience even happened.

some of the movie has nothing to do with anything--especially the opening scene after scene after pointless scene

this review says it lacks dramatic suspense. oh how i agree.

"Heaven Is For Real is cinematic hell… or, at the very least, a painful, theater-based purgatory where time stretches for an eternity and your creative soul wallows in a cliché-soaked limbo begging for the end credits to arrive and set you free. No matter your religious preferences, you’ll find it tedious and pandering – unless you worship at the altar of boredom."

i tried to overlook all the religion because i'm such a big fan of the afterlife (long island medium, george anderson, ghost whisperer, celebrity ghost stories, that beyond and back series about near death experiences, etc) but i walked out feeling kind of like...meh...

too bad because they could've had me at hello.
