“Miracles” Battle For Number One
The Faith-based True Story about a family’s love and dedication to one another especially when tragedy strikes is bringing movie goers to tears in “Miracles From Heaven“.
The film stars Jennifer Garner, who plays Christy Beam, the mother with the undying will to help her little girl, Anna (Kylie Rogers), who is diagnosed with a rare life-threatening digestive disorder. Overall, Garner’s portrayal and acting sends chills down one’s spine as she acts brilliantly as a mother whose faith is tested at all times. It is a test of true faith that ultimately leads to the climatic miracle that changes everything and leaves the audience feeling a sense of humbleness and strength even in the tiniest of miracles.
Miracles From Heaven also stars Queen Latifah, who plays a waitress in Boston that “Christy” and “Anna” first meet on their spontaneous trip to the children’s hospital and offers comfort and fun in the mix of the race for a cure.
Inspired by the real family from Texas, Miracles From Heaven is a feel good movie for the whole family that will hopefully empower people to live each day for what it is and appreciate everything one has.
The faith-based movie came out March 18 and thus far has reached 7.7 million in its first two days at the box office. It is currently playing in a theater near you. See it this week or Easter weekend and experience the “Miracle” in front of you.
