Letters to God

Letters to God is far too simplistic and pandering to find success outside of the targeted church-going family moviegoers it's hoping to reach.

Family drama about a young boy fighting cancer who writes letters to God, affecting all those around him including a troubled postal worker. Good looking (it was filmed in Winter Garden) but slow and bland, this faith-based tear-jerker is a depressingly unemotional affair, with writing and some of the acting so flat that even its emotionally loaded situations can't inspire waterworks.

It's a good idea but the delivery is just too campy, cutsie, it's like something from a Sunday school fairy tale.
