The Odd Way Home

The Odd Way Home is a movie that will stay with you for days. You laugh, you cry but most importantly you reflect.

Rumer's performance was so honest. A young women who has been dealt a bad hand. Her performance particular the detox scene really makes you think how far just a little bit of kindness can go and how everyone needs someone to stand up for them. One of the best scenes that I have ever seen in any movie is the one that takes place between Rumer and Veronica Cartright. Knee buckling. I can't wait to see this movie again and again.

Another note...the music combined with the cinematography is a real piece of art. I can't wait to buy the soundtrack (please include Rumer's song if you can) and I can't wait to go on my next road trip. Thank you!

This movie is so well written. It reminded me of a series of vignettes, after the mid point I thought that every scene was going to be the last one and was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't. There are a lot of emotions packed into the movie as a whole.

There were points when I was shocked, some when I laughed out loud, and some when I shed a tear. I haven't seen many films that can pull that breadth of responses from me.

I was really taken by Willis' performance. She had never been a serious consideration to me, but now I am looking forward to watching her future work.

Having read the reviews on IMDb.com, I can only conclude that Rumer Willis has a team of bloggers working for her. Her performance is, at best, weak and at times it is totally unbearable. I am left wondering if her inclusion in the role is more to do with her perceived 'box-office' draw than her lamentable acting ability. The premise of the story is good enough to have attracted a much more plausible female lead, but this film will be struggling to acquire any punters who aren't simply conditioned 90210ers. There is something very distracting about Ms Willis' screen presence, which I am unable to put my finger on. Unfortunately, that distraction is to the detriment of the storyline and other characters in the cast. I think the distraction may be emanating from an area of my brain that manages belief/disbelief. In conclusion, if you like all things Rumer, you may well like this. If you enjoy good acting, don't bother.

I really enjoyed this film.

First, I was totally impressed with Rumor Willis's acting chops. She was really strong, as was the actor playing the lead male role, Duncan.

The film was interesting from the very beginning. I had no idea what was going to happen, and I was curious/engaged the whole time. I prefer films that feature characters that are complicated in some way, as I think people in general are more interesting when they are complex. And not the sort of shallow complexity that you find in many films these days, but true life experience driven complexity. The characters in this film had so much richness and depth and I related to them in different ways. I found myself very involved in their story.

I thought it was really good. I highly recommend.

At first I thought I was going to hate this movie based on the opening sequence. But once the opening music began as she started her journey I was intrigued.

You'll obviously see lots of other stories from previous films in this one, but it was still done very well.

Rumer Willis does a great job as Maya. A young woman lost on her path to find herself. And along the way she meets Duncan (Chris Marquette) who's rain man like qualities make the story all the more interesting.

I'm not trying to give spoilers, but I really liked the film more than I thought I would. A nice road trip film with lots of heart.
