This is an excellent movie. Have thought about buying this for a while but anticipated that it might be depressing. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it. It was tender, amusing at times, uplifting and totally enjoyable.

I would recommend this movie for everyone. There are not enough movies that talk about peoples relationship with God. It is a tear jerker but so worth watching.

My husband and I felt this was so real like. It brought home to us the battle we are having with out 16 yr.old granddaughter fighting Cancer right now. It made us feel so blessed that she like this young man expect what is happening and deals with it better than we do. They seem to always have a better attitude than we think they have.

An amazing message on how a child can teach those around him as he gracefully goes through the journey that the Lord has carved for him.

Too cheesy and I felt that it really did not give the
gospel message . . . just a general faith in God.

This is an excellent example of true deep faith in God. The childlike faith and trust Jesus gives us as example of how we as believers in Him should be. We all need to have this faith as a child would have. This movie reveals to us who we really are.

It was difficult for me to start this Letters to God review, but the best way for me to describe this movie was that it was a unique, emotional film. Although there are some scenes within this film that are funny, much of the movie is serious and sad; do not watch if you aren't prepared to see a tear gusher. In some ways I felt the movie wasn't the most realistic like in the quality of the family's lawn (I mean who really has grass THAT green? lol) as well as most of the characters being Christians, but it did not spare on realism when concerning the subjects of cancer, alcohol, and simply emotional pain in general. I was surprised to hear Letters to God was based off of a true story; though the alcoholic mailman was fictional unfortunately.
Without spoiling anything, this movie was about an 8 year old named Tyler Doherty who writes/mails physical letters actually addressed: "To God". Substitute mailman Brady McDaniels doesn't have the heart to throw the letters away; partially due to Tyler having cancer. Throughout the movie Brady's alcoholism, the impact of Tyler's cancer on him and his family, the importance of prayer, and trusting in God amongst trials/suffering are frequently mentioned and tied within the film's plot. Although I do believe some mailmen would probably throw the letters away in real life, I thought the concept of writing an actual letter to God was cute. I also felt the overall theme of believing in God even within the difficult times was an important message too. One thing I did not enjoy, however, was how the movie inserted a "you have a God shaped hole in your heart" style theological message, because I do not feel those sort of messages actually bring people to Christ; I base this on personal experience. Although I usually don't like to watch sadder movies, overall I did enjoy seeing this film.

I like it because it was a true story. No swear words , nudity, or promotionals of homosexuality, sex, violence. Prayer and Jesus were strongly focused- very good point. But the price I paid for this DVD was too much.For the movie lacked the essence of good acting by the actors. However I still enjoyed the story

Purchased this for my little nephew after seeing it in the theaters when it first came out. Excellent movie. What would this world be like if children knew God early in life. I don't have any children yet, but I know that if I do, they will know God. It is a responsibility of parents.

My children chose this as a movie for my husband for Christmas. We were hoping that it was along the same line as Facing the Giants and we were very pleased. Expect to cry..

Great storyline. It's nice to watch a movie that isn't filled with worldly smutt. The whole family can enjoy this one.
We have a daughter with a brain tumor so it was especially touching for us

This movie is very touching and it's reality. I love the faith of this child and how he chose to hold on and bless so many others through his ordeal. I love the relationship he has with his mother and that she didn't give up. I recommend this to everyone - a very good tool to witness and encourage those who are enduring and facing hard trials.
