I rarely go to the movies since it's so expensive , but, I just wanted to see "Heaven Is For Real".
So, off I went last week, with my girlfriend whom I met when we were 7, who wanted to see it too.
I guess because it is a movie that addressed the question most of us hope to find out...that heaven does exist, and because I just had to get out of this house and do something fun, was I wiling to shell out the $11 Senior discount price for a ticket. Of course, I had the small $8.95 popcorn and soda....but, I so seldom go ..I felt ..what the heck.
I can't say it blew me away, but, I will say that I enjoyed every single minute of it.
If you want action, or fighting or sex this isn't for you. It's just a beautiful uplifting story about a child who says he has been to heaven.
The little boy in the movie, from afar, reminded me of my youngest grandson...the way his hair was spiffed up in the front. And, I was touched by the whole story which they say is taken from real life.
In fact, as the credits rolled, they showed pictures of the actual family.
The movie made me "feel" good.
I would recommend it for anyone who wants a quiet, lovely night at the movies.
