Tuesday, September 14 Letters To God PG
A boozing postal worker finds his life turned upside down by a boy struggling
with cancer. Young Tyler Doherty (Tanner Maguire) faces his cancer with a strong
spirit and good humor, and maintains his faith by writing letters to
God--letters that the neighborhood's new mailman, Brady McDaniels (Jeffrey
Johnson), doesn't know how to handle. Gradually, McDaniels finds himself drawn
into the Doherty family's life… and drawn to Tyler's lonely mother, Maddy (Robyn
Lively). Letters to God is earnest and family friendly, with moments of
slapstick humor to leaven Tyler's troubled circumstances. Any viewer's response
to Letters to God will depend on his or her faith; devout Christians will find
it a sincere and uplifting testament to God's love, while non-Christians will
find it saccharine and heavy-handed. But it's certainly a polished production,
with professional cinematography, a cleanly written (if a bit obvious) script,
and solid performances from the attractive cast.
