Review of Heaven Is for Real (2014) by Kevin M. W — 04 Jul 2014

What's wrong with preaching to the choir? A pastor and his family try to accept that their youngest member might've had a spiritual experience. The foundation for this film is the depiction of middle American lifestyles and Kinnear's performance as a preacher in difficult straits.

There are no surprises here and everything plays out pretty much as you'd expect and therein is the flaw of the piece ... they needed to present a surprising twist somewhere here to overcome their own obviousness.

Still worthwhile, particularly for choir members.
