The movie was OK, not bad nor good. I would give it 3/5. i liked the girl in the beginning tho, soo cute But this review wasn't the reason i came on here, when watching the movie I started thinking about this website I discovered last night. it's called www.lettersfromthemaker.com and it's a site where you can send a letter to anyone around the world and sign it from god (that's why)This is what they say "Help someone get back on their feet with a letter from god! This is the site where you can send a personal written letter to anyone, anywhere, signed by God. If you want to help someone to find the strength to go on, this small gesture might just do it. Help someone help themselves."Crazy stuff hu? anyways here it is again www.lettersfromthemaker.com

This is a very touching story. How does a family cope with a diagnosis of cancer. Where is God?Where is the hope? This film answers that with a terrific ending. Mr Nixon has done a great job again. This is a great way to reach kids who have no hope. This is filmed in a great location. This is presenting in a truthful way. This is a good Christian film. This helps people believe that God is merciful Where is the hope? This film answers that with a terrific ending. Mr Nixon has done a great job again.

My whole family, husband, 13yo daughter, and 10yo son loved the movie. Appreciated the positive message and real life summaries at the end. My son normally likes only action movies, but wanted to buy this one (we watched on Netflix) after the movie was over. A friend of ours has a young son battling cancer - this story was more personal to us as a result. Considering the budget for the movie, it was well-acted, great script, riveting. While the movie had a Christian message, it is based on a true story about the life of a Christian boy and how he impacted others. Regarding the negative reviews because of the Christian content, I wish there was similar outrage over foul language and the pervasive sexuality in nearly every movie that comes out of Hollywood. I was hesitant to watch this movie because of the low reviews, but my daughter's friends had seen it and said it was good, so I agreed to watch it. So glad I did. Will recommend to everyone - just make sure to have a tissue box nearby - it is a tear jerker throughout.

Honestly you sub culture idiots being self righteous and ruining a great movie site that is post to be about the content of movie production skills, not trivial beliefs you try to force on everybody stop rating movies down just because they have religious inspirations, by the way I am a full-blown atheist you morons. But yes, it was a great movie, a bit depressing because I hate watching sick people, but yet awesome throughout another movie I recommend that has been shot down in ratings by atheist on IMDb is The book of Eli. Wish religious people and all people happiness and Love for the rest of their life. good day.
