![]() ![]() The film reveals Colton's story in small parts and each piece seems to bring his father Todd closer to believing. ![]() He wrestles with the actual experience and this struggle continues well into the boy's recovery and his explanation of his visit to heaven. He becomes skeptical of God's actions once his son is laid up on the operating table for a ruptured appendix. Greg Kinnear does a fantastic job as Todd Burpo, a jack-of-all-trades that pastors a church, repairs things and fights fires. Instead, the movie makers chose to deviate from stressing the vision, and decided rather to show the day-to-day life of the Burpo family and how they balanced church, work and bills with their son's experience. The unraveling of this majestic vision is documented in the film, but it doesn't seem to be the main focus. Heaven is for Real tells the story of the small town Nebraskan Burpo family whose 4-year-old son Colton has a near-death experience where he visits heaven and meets Jesus. ![]()
