This Christian movie has leading lady Karen Lesiewicz as an aspiring children's book author who has been disappointed in life. She's prayed for a lot in life and the Deity has not answered her prayers.

Well one fine day she wakes up in strange surroundings and finds that all those things she took in prayer to the Lord have come true. She's a success as a children's book author, she's rich, she married the boy she was crushing out on in middle school. What more could a girl want?

There's more than a theological reason for the old adage of be careful what you wish for, you might get it. There's an all seeing and all knowing Deity who knows what's best for us in his divine scheme of things. That would be the Christian interpretation of what we see.

One wish that comes true is that a sister who died young is now living. That's more than Lesniewicz could possibly hope for. But Ariana Lexus as her sister Sally is not all she seems either. And Brian Walsh as her school girl crush and now husband is not all that great a catch.

I don't want to get all metaphysical, but this film while sincere provides easy answers that just aren't that easy.

I was pleasantly surprised by the lead's performance. She was really fantastic, and I hope that she will continue to appear in faith based films. The story had a very cute and poignant ending, but overall, it was slow and at times, it was hard for this viewer to stay focused. I watched this on pureflix so I did not see the alternative endings.

Heavens to Betsy hands down stands out as a faith-based film. Not only is it a refreshingly funny film that confronts the challenges faced by Christians, but it also realistically deals with the unfortunate hardships that can come with life, even to believers, all while being set in a fun & intriguing fantasy scenario. As the leading lady, Karen Lesiewicz shines with outstanding comedic timing, and catches the essence of her character arc with perfect precision. Don't miss Heavens to Betsy! You will laugh, and be transported to a magical world that touches the heart, and has elements that almost anyone can deeply relate to. Can't wait for Heavens to Betsy 2!
