The whole movie seems based on a 5 minute video interview to the kid and parents. The rest of the movie were fillers.

The rest of the movie were fillers. When the movie is over, I started wondering if the kid's story was even real, as he used language that was part of his life, being in a very religious family. I had high hopes, but was utterly disappointed. Greg Kinnear was great in it, though.… Expand

Keep it to the religious, who believe in this god thing. And keep it away from those who aren't. My family is religion, so I was forced to watch this hunk of garbage.

Dumb. Boring. Pointless. Illogical. The only evidence we have to believe is what a little kid says. If we believe in what a kid has to say, then lets believe in some old book that was written a few hundred years ago. The movie is pureDumb. Boring. Pointless. Illogical.

It wasnt as insulting to those who do not believe in mythology literally as god is not dead was so it has that going for it. Not a great movie and not a bad one. If you like sugary sweet hallmark like movies with no basis in reality its good.It wasnt as insulting to those who do not believe in mythology literally as god is not dead was so it has that going for it.

When I went to watch Heaven Is For Real in my nearest Cineplex, I saw more than 90% of the people were watching this movie. BIG LINE.

BIG LINE. After 2 hours of waiting, the movie started. 30 minutes into it, I didn't know if I had made a good choice watching this. It's all that rubbish demonic, soul movie and at that genre it's slow but effective. This movie was so depressing and badly acted that you will laugh. The story is mediocre, this movie is overall not worth 2 and a half hours. Save your money and watch Locke instead. At least the message was effective.… Expand

It's disappointing to see a movie with such a great story go to waste like this. The first 1/4 of the movie was completely irrelevant to the rest of the plot, the acting ranged from bearable to cringe inducing and everything in between, thereIt's disappointing to see a movie with such a great story go to waste like this. The first 1/4 of the movie was completely irrelevant to the rest of the plot, the acting ranged from bearable to cringe inducing and everything in between, there were comedy elements thrown in there that were completely uncalled for, lots of plot holes, and worst of all, the writing was just awful. It's a shame that this movie was so sloppily thrown together, it had potential but don't even bother with this one.… Expand
