My "Heaven is For Real" story. I was working at Marshals when this movie was being shot and this woman who worked in wardrobe for the movie kept coming in and buying hundreds of dollars worth of clothes and then returning them the next day as soon as the store opened. She did this with cash and we wouldn't have enough in the tills to refund her so we had to go to the safe to get her money. Finally after the second time this happened I asked what was going on (as it was really suspicious) and she explained about working on the movie. I then asked her "well why don't they give you a credit card to buy this stuff" and she responded with "oh...I never thought about that" And from then on (another 2 times) she used a card so she didn't drain our float every time. So yeah...that happened.
Actually, it is in the Bible that seeing God's face turns someone mad. It's why he usually sends angels to deliver messages. Not that angels according to the Bible are supposed to look how they're portrayed in modern times.
When you guys were reading the lines from the kid's Twitter, I didn't imagine it in John Malkovich's voice. I imagined it as read by Sutter Cane from "The Mouth of Madness." XD
My all-time favourite quote from him: Heaven has mosquitos that are just like mosquitos here except they're 5 times bigger and inject heroin into everyone #bliss
I remember seeing a bit of this while my parents were watching it on TV. I agree that it was _very_ boring, dragged on _way_ too long with how thin the plot was, and the kid was awful. Also, I couldn't get past the fact that the family's last name was "Burpo". I thought I must have been mishearing it the whole time, because that sounds like the name of a henchman from a kid's cartoon or something.
Even in the Bible, no mortal actually saw heaven or hell. If I'm recalling correctly, even those who were raised from the dead were said to have been merely in a state that made their resurrection akin to waking up from sleep. What people indeed did see, according to the Bible, were visions of heaven displayed as well as mortals could understand it. Heaven or Hell would be places so respectively wonderful and terrible that the experience would drive a mind returning to mortal life and consciousness completely insane--that or as a defense mechanism your mind would block it out entirely, like with most dreams.
That kid needs to go back to the hospital and get his head checked out. He might have undiagnosed residual brain damage. Granted, I wrote pretentious and also weirdly terrifying stuff as a kid too, and you bet that would go triple for if I had had a near death experience, but considering his parents don't see SEEING JESUS as a sign of oxygen deprivation, I'd say it's not unreasonable this is a symptom that's just flying under everyone's radar and it wouldn't hurt to get him checked out by a physician.
If anyone is watching this currently- the state of the twitter: at one point when the movie was recently released, the twitter was played off as legit. Now both twitters that claimed to be burpo have come out as parody accounts.
if you read burp's tweets now i think he's fully embraced it as a parody account. theres no way its a real person's thoughts. they're still hilarious such as: "When I was in Heaven Jesus wouldn't stop talking about Mary Magdalene and crying. Dude it's been 2000 years #NationalExDay #HeavenIsForReal"
+Grace Kelley So, according to the tweets signed "-J" from March this year, the kid's undergoing electro shock therapy: I thought most doctors wouldn't carry that out these days because of how many times patients were even more damaged from it in the past.
i really gotta agree that the worst part of this movie was the little boy. i... dont know why he bothered me so much. he was just so bad. it was desperately embarrassing.
I wanna see a movie called "Heaven is Real" note the differences that takes the story down a dark path and ends in the kid killing a ton of poeple Whos with me??
Bro like I get those dumbass ads on every “Atheist” related videos even if it’s a video based on criticism of Christians films regardless if the person who’s made the video on the matter isn’t even Atheist, I found it odd how ads shove that shit in before I’d watch any video that criticizes Christianity in general.
I remember seeing some news-like report on this movie when I was younger, I think it was like ET because my father used to watch it every weeknight. And I saw the movie being sold in a Cracker Barrel like a year later. Never saw the movie but that's what I think about when I hear this movie
I heard before that it was based on a true story, then that it was debunked as being a hoax. That's another thing I remembered. That Twitter account is really freaky, wow
Dead boys don't cry No wonder why You'll see them ride the midnight sky Dead boys don't cry For they can't die You'll see them light the grave goodbye Dead boys don't cry
Just watched the Simpsons episode spoofing this. It had some good jokes and the idea was good. But it felt so rushed. The old episodes lets one enjoy the ambiance. And hence the jokes feel better. So I still have hope for the future of Simpsons but at this point yeah, the consensus is right. The show used to be better.
I remember watching this shit in my secondary school for religious class, but I didn't like it because I thought it was a waste of my time (though to be honest I thought EVERY class there a was a waste of my time( didn't we all?)). Now I know that I wasn't the only one who thinks that. It's honestly these films and the fuckers who use God's name to do shit stuff that made me a semi-atheist. I say semi because I still believe that gods exists, but more of a "they're up/down there" sorta way. Saying that though, if I did have to attend a religion even if I know its terrible, I would probably go for Church of DIO and his best friend/lover, Enrico Pucci! I'll delete this comment if I miss a lot of details, offended anybody, etc.
"It was one beaten woman from being a Lifetime movie"--classic.
"In Heaven, every bed is a racecar bed."
That checks out.

Dave reading the tweets and Brad reacting made this for me.
"You have no idea what seeing god does to the human mind"

Nah, that was just a Yith. Beaming a voice into Moses' mind through a canister holding its brain.

@@stewieismyhomeboy I take it that they also don't look the Paradiso versions where they somehow look more demonic than the actual demons?

Give the family credit: They're successful business people. They know their target audience well.
That's why this is an exploitation film.

I imagined Malcolm McDowell as the ZAX computer from Fallout 3 reading those lines.
The Kenny Loggins thing makes me think of Hyperbole and a half "How Kenny Loggins ruined Christmas"

Can always tell that dude is struggling because he's puffing hard on that cig. Every time. Haha.
Any Christian film is stressful to watch he needed a lot of hits,to destress. 😂

The Bible is basically a Cosmic Horror Story, honestly. XD

Annie Trinity I read somewhere that the kid later admitted he made the whole thing up.
Samantha Hawthorne That was another kid who claimed to go to heaven.
Kenny Loggins is Jesus you say? ...I'm completely okay with this.
highway to the jesus zone
He can donate his organs 18 times a year! And if you look at him after it rains, you'll see a rainbow!
When I watched this I got an ad for Liberty University. :-/

the kid is trying to get to heaven via hot air balloon.
and also he believes in healing crystals.
+Perri Lewis Does he believe in JO crystals too?
Everyone knows the best way to get to heaven is by ladder

Wait, what? Oh god, that poor kid! And I'm surprised it wasn't outlawed when lobotomies were!
You mean character actress Margo martindale (ten points if you get that reference)
I get that reference
It's a very awesome neeetflix show
It's Bojack the horse

i really gotta agree that the worst part of this movie was the little boy. i... dont know why he bothered me so much. he was just so bad. it was desperately embarrassing.
fengy ......... YOUR A HEARTLESS FUCK YOU KNOW THAT!!!?
Of course by now we have learned that the whole story was a hoax, perpetrated by the father.
Have you accepted Kenny Loggins as your Lord and Savior?
I wanna see a movie called "Heaven is Real" note the differences that takes the story down a dark path and ends in the kid killing a ton of poeple Whos with me??
I actually like and enjoyed this movie over God's Not Dead. It's understandable that it's not great but I find it interesting.
There's a Pure Flix ad in this video...

Colton Burpo's twitter (@TheColtonBurpo) is the greatest thing known to man. I'm sure it's a parody account, but I love it so much
jesus:why do they make so many bad films about me!! my dad i hope Pat Robertson does not make a movie....
Can you tell me the kid's dealer's phone #? He must have some really good stuff...for him to be tweeting like this...
Just watched the Simpsons episode spoofing this. It had some good jokes and the idea was good. But it felt so rushed. The old episodes lets one enjoy the ambiance. And hence the jokes feel better.

That account is definitely a parody account. Kind of relieved to be honest.
Didn’t Greg Kinnear play a gay guy in As Good As It Gets? I guess his “sins” were “forgiven.”
Why did he not include a link to this horrifying twitter in the description?
It's a parody account anyways.
the title sounds like a Tupac lyric
Well, he did make a song called “I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto”...
I'm pretty sure his twitter is a joke...
Thomas Hayden Church was probably only in this movie because of his last name
I commented before 13:12

26:00 Rhonda Rosey?
Is that Jesse?
Would be funny if he was like yeah looked like that only was black and a woman
I would like this but it has 666 likes on a god based movie review.
And it turns out the whole thing was a big fat lie. Not really surprising
