    • Trivia
      Olivia says to Benjamin at one point, "Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?" This is a reference to Job chapter 2. God gives all of Job's status and health in the devil's possession. His wife tells him, "Curse God and die!" Job replies, "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept only good from God and never trouble?"

    Overall Good Movie...Go Support the Cause
    Just saw a preview of Letters to God this afternoon. I cannot say that this is an amazing movie, but it is definitely a solid effort from the Christian market. The acting lacks at times, but not to the point of Facing the Giants. Fortunately, the leading characters do a good job, as well as the young girl playing Sam, who was also just in Brothers with Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, and Tobey Maguire. She has a future ahead of her in the business. You can't go into this type of movie expecting the best acting and producing Hollywood has to offer, but I feel that they did a good job given their resources.

    The movie itself carries a good feel with a difficult story and well-placed humor mixed in. It may seem a little cliché or cheesy at first, but give it a shot and it will tug at your heart.

    The Christian movie market still has a long way to go to compete with the mainstream market, but progress is being made. Passion of the Christ really opened up the market, and the recent Fireproof improved on Flywheel and Facing the Giants. To Save a Life is making a stir in the market, and Letters to God is supposed to be the most widely opened Christian movie since Passion. If you're interested in a great heartfelt story that will make you appreciate your life and put this life in perspective, then go check out Letters to God and support the Christian film market.
