Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Miracles from Heaven (2016)




Directed by: Patricia Riggen

Written by: Christy Beam (book) & Randy Brown (adaptation)

Starring: Jennifer Garner, Kylie Rogers, & Martin Henderson







I cried at least 4 times with this film.  It was that emotional.

Anna Beam (Rogers) is a normal little girl, until one day she ends up with rare digestive disorder.  Her body cannot process the food that she eats, so it just sits in her stomach and causes her pain.  Her mother Christy (Garner) does everything in her power to save Anna, but in the process loses her faith.  Will she regain her faith in God and can Anna get better?

Overall this film was good and everyone cries.  If you don't cry, there's probably something wrong with you.

I thought this film would be similar to Heaven is for Real, but this film focuses more on the illness rather than faith in God, although that is in the movie as well.

With the illness, the writers leave it so that it isn't too complicated to understand.  Plus we get to see what this family goes through both emotionally and financially.

There isn't much else to say about the film.  The main reason for crying is seeing the sick kids in Children's Hospital.

Oh, one aspect of the film that was a little annoying was all the fade outs.  But that's about it.  5 popcorns, because it made me cry and Garner was amazing.
