Now, those who have read many of my past entries, you will know that I am a sucker for God-themed movies. Obviously, this is one of those. It is about a boy named Tyler who has cancer. He writes letters to God everyday and sends them off in the mail. Along comes Brady, an alcoholic mailmain, who sees these letters and gets confused as to how to handle the situation.
There is a heavy religious theme to this film, but you may still like it even if you are not all that religious. Some of the scenes and lines are a bit corny, but it serves its purpose. Also, the acting may not be the best either, but it doesn't really matter in this movie because the tremendous storyline overshadows it. This is one of the most uplifting films I have ever seen, and it will definitely touch your heart (I hope). It is also really funny at many parts and does not take itself too seriously. All the characters show depth, and their strengths and weaknesses are well displayed and conquered over the course of this film--which is quite an accomplishment considering how many characters there were.
This is definitely a film for all ages. It will truly inspire you on many levels and get you to think about your own life as well.
Overall Grade: A
