Top Critics Reviews

With little in the way of story or spectacle to offer nonbelievers, the film itself just preaches to the choir.

There are so many characters basing their actions on what Jesus would do that Jesus just about deserves a co-screenwriting credit.

This faith-based/fact-based inspirational weepie allows no one to escape the saintlike glow of its terminally ill protagonist.

While Letters to God is certainly family-friendly, the blandness robs it of whatever emotion or redemption the filmmakers were shooting for.
