Faith and hope are the twin engines that power this uplifting, bittersweet tale based on the true story of Tyler Doherty (Tanner Maguire), an 8-year-old boy who battles brain cancer and turns to God as his own private pen pal. Tyler writes and mails his missives daily, and his steadfast undertaking not only moves his family and friends, but it also alters the life of despairing postman, Brady (Jeffrey Johnson), who opens the boy's letters.

NYT Review: In this Christian-themed film, a child with brain cancer writes letters to God and thereby touches the heart of an embittered, hard-drinking postal carrier. -- Neil Genzlinger Read the review
Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: There are so many characters basing their actions on what Jesus would do that Jesus just about deserves a co-screenwriting credit. full review

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

This faith-based/fact-based inspirational weepie allows no one to escape the saintlike glow of its terminally ill protagonist. full review

Justin Chang, Variety

While Letters to God is certainly family-friendly, the blandness robs it of whatever emotion or redemption the filmmakers were shooting for. full review
