Review of Heaven Is for Real (2014) by Fantasy — 18 Apr 2014

I saw the movie opening night before a theater which was about 80% full. The slowly developing story pulls on your heartstrings as a the cutest 4 YO little boy survives a near death experience in the operating room.

He then slowly starts to tell his father he was in heaven, had an out of body experience, and describes what he saw. What is lacking is a detailed account of that experience as there was so much more that could have been presented.

It's certainly a feel good story that we all want to believe. The true life hero is now a teenager and was recently interviewed by Bill O'Reilly. Once again he spoke in a narrative summary without giving specific details as he was totally unconvincing.

Still a nice movie.
