Movies

I just saw the movie tonight in Jeff Johnson's hometown. I thought it was a wonderful movie!! Be sure to bring a box of tissues though! I am sad that some reviewers are embarrassed by the Christian content. I can never understand why people are not offended or embarrassed by graphic violence, derogatory humor, sexual content in movies, but mention God or prayer and people feel they need to apologize...why??? It was part of this story...Letters to God...that was the whole point. I think the movie was well done and deserves to be applauded! Hurray Jeff and all the hard work everyone put in it, the movie moved my heart and soul, Thanks!!!!! Lisa Salonich

This is a wonderful story. Many will probably avoid it just because of the title. But for those willing to give it a try, it has a lot of good messages. It shows the courage of a young boy who faces mortality much earlier in life than most. It shows the ability for those with alcohol problems to realize the problem and change for the better. It shows the ability for children to learn to get along with each other. It shows the strength of a loving family. The mini stories at the end are uplifting. Give it a try. I preferred it over "Left Behind" which appears to be more like a soap opera. Fireproof is very good, though tough to watch since it shows the strains of a marriage. Letters to God are the inspiring words of a child with cancer.

This film did make me cry, but ONLY because my own child is fighting cancer. The acting is terrible, the script is awful. They had a lot of sentences in there stating the facts of living with cancer... most were right. But it felt like they were trying to show that they had done their homework rather than evoke genuine feelings from the actors. The music was so cheesy. This was like a bad b movie without the 80's charm.It's a shame really, because the real story it is based on, is one worth telling.
