Based on the true story of 4 year old Colton Burpo, Heaven is for Real tells the story of
how after surviving a near death experience, Colton claims to have visited
heaven and met Jesus Christ.
With his preacher father Todd (Greg Kinnear) keen to support
his son’s beliefs while also remaining cautious, he struggles to keep his
emotions in check when his congregation don’t believe Colton’s version of
events and ask for him to take a break from leading the church.
But when Colton tells his parents he met his sister who died
before she could be born as well as the grandfather who died before he was
born, both his mother and father start to believe he may be telling the truth
and decide to no longer be afraid of it.
This movie was so sweet and the actor who played Colton
Burpo was extremely cute which made me want to watch it even more. I found the story of how he claimed to visit
heaven fascinating as I too believe there is life after death and watching this movie made me want to look up the true story to learn
more.
If you enjoy easy to watch and intriguing movies, this is
one for you.
