It seems there is a string of films with relation to spirituality coming to light lately; I’d heard about this story of the little boy named Todd Burpo years prior and then the best-selling book and finally now the movie. Such a pleasure finally seeing this film as I’d attended a film festival in Pasadena a month earlier and because I fell terribly ill had to miss it. Now a month later I am able to see this charming and true story.
There is a heap that we human-beings still cannot explain, but this film, this story gives a glimpse into that mysterious realm that we all quietly wonder about. With an estimated budget of $12 million USD this film produced by Tristar Pictures, Roth Films and many more, adapted into screen play and directed by Randall Wallace won back an estimated $91 million USD at the box-office. Emmy and Academy Award nominee’s starring in the film Greg Kinnear and Kelly Reilly both agreed to help tell this magnificent story which altered the lives of that family as well as many of those who have seen this film.
Connor Corum who plays the 4 year old Todd Burpo is one of the most adorable little boys out there and took great direction throughout. I have nothing negative to say about this film - the cinematography was exceptional, the timing was adequate, the acting was first-rate and the story is one we should all take to heart.
