'Letters to God' Trailer: Check Out This Dying Religious Kid!

With My Sister's Keeper and Extraordinary Measures coming out within seven months of each other, it's been a good year for wringing sentimentality out of dying kids. The kind of entertainment usually reserved for Hallmark movie specials is finally finding its way to theaters. If watching suffering children and their families live out the last few months of an all-too-brief existence is your thing, you're in heaven right now (just like those young spirits).

Unfortunately, something like the recent Brendan Fraser/Harrison Ford vehicle also distracts you from those beautiful terminally ill children by interjecting a lot of talk of finding a medical cure for the disease. Yuck, science! Why can't the cure just be God, a funny mustache, and the brief appearance of a father figure in the fleeting time before the child's impending death?
