All Roads Lead Home

All Roads Lead Home is a great family movie everyone can enjoy. The movie will make you laugh and cry! It is a wonderful movie that you can walk away talking about and feel touched. The filming and choice of scenery was well done by Dennis Fallon and his crew. We enjoyed watching Peter Boyle in his final acting role. Peter Coyote did a wonderful job in portraying the grandfather in the movie.

The selection of actors and actresses for this film was properly chosen. The movie has a strong message for animal rights and animal welfare. The movie also shows the respect and love for all creatures small and large. I attended the preview of the movie at the Mall of America in August 2008 and thoroughly enjoyed the film along with my other 9 friends. They as well had rave reviews that there was finally a good family movie out there to be seen. Each one of us had the opportunity to meet Dennis Fallon the director in person. He answered our questions, and explained how scenes were made. This is definitely a must see family movie that can be enjoyed for years to come. I believe this is a movie in its infant steps towards the betterment of animal welfare. We are all hoping that there will be more movies similar to All Roads Lead Home that can be produced. I would highly recommend this movie to families with children 7 years and older. Anyone who has a sincere appreciation for animals will certainly enjoy this film.

I don't typically post comments for movies, but I had to write in about this one. After seeing a decent rating (6.2 stars on IMDb is not bad), and mostly positive reviews, includes superlative statements such as: "It could be the most powerful animal-themed film I have seen.", "Defining Family Entertainment...perhaps re-defining." and "Put it on your "must-see" list.".

We rented "All Roads Lead Home" for our family, and were put off by the overt over-the-top animal rights themes, low budget look of the film (simplistic camera work, minimal post-processing, poor editing, sub par acting) and *very* choppy plot. The story seemed contrived in parts to go out of its way to pull at emotional connections to animals, and in all but a very few scenes was ineffective at doing so.

That is not to say that this film should not be watched, or is worthless, it just seemed like from many of the comments on IMDb that this was an Oscar-quality film. I would rather people go into this with their eyes open, so I decided to post. A number of these comments appear to be written from the perspective of a personal friend of the film crew, or someone who was invited to a private screening. Hardly a unbiased source. I don't at all mean to question the integrity of those comment authors, we are all entitled to our opinion! But I did want to balance that out with a more realistic look at this film.

To realistically rate this anything higher than 5/10 stars would be quite a leap, even for someone who enjoys cheesy sappy movies. This was a cheesy sappy movie that was done poorly with a small budget.

I would not recommend this movie, and feel there are many better choices on the market when it comes to family friendly movies.

I didn't watch this movie with high expectations so I wasn't too disappointed but I feel like there was a lot of wasted potential. What could have been a touching story about reverence and respect for life, and healing after a tragedy turned into nothing more than animal rights propaganda. I found the acting from all parties to be quite unconvincing. The "troubled daughter" as it read on the back of the movie cover, was a sweet grieving little girl who made a few mistakes with the best intentions at heart. I was not raised on a ranch, but I have a hard time believing that animals are tossed aside and killed so quickly and completely without thought as in this film. For the younger audience this movie could possibly be enjoyable but let me put it this way, if I wanted to watch some kind of PETA film, I would have rented one.

It's about the animal's axis and its rights. It also has the feature of drama, which means that it will include in it the story which to bring the film ahead and bring the audience to the film. But its overall appeal is about the relationship between the girl and her grandfather and the way they look at the animals. In general, Basic and fundamental changes in the approach of humans to each issue are seen with the sacrifice and transfer from generation to generation, and this change of approach in the story of the film is somewhat respected, but when an elderly man has the flexibility himself It seems like the change process is going to improve our situation and our attitude toward issues as if it were going forward ten years ago, and we do not drown in the swamp of our time. The film is well worth mentioning about the impact of change in look and the direct relationship we are having with the progress of the course on the subject of the film. Of course, with a little deeper insight, this can be extended to all aspects of life. Believing change and attitudes can significantly reduce the costs of arrears that arise from selfishness and personal ambitions, which means progress. At first glance, the film shocked its audience with an unpleasant incident, but in the third scenario, the recovery is going well and there are some good changes in Hook's brain, with his granddaughter, Bele. It's not bad to see the film from the direction of view and look better for tomorrow. This movie will help you.

The description 'family film' gets tossed around a lot. I have found that either these so called family movies are either A) animated or B) still contain language, themes, etc that aren't exactly family friendly.

All Roads Lead Home is different. It is a wonderful film that manages to be sad, happy, funny, touching, and uplifting all at once. I won't go into to too many details as I don't want to ruin the story, but the message is simple, every living thing deserves a chance.

The movie also deals with death and dying which in my opinion is a positive. It shows that death is a part of life, it isn't glossed over but it also is shown morbidly or overly traumatic.

All in all it is a great film that I highly recommend...it will make you cry, make you laugh, make you think and most importantly if you watch it with children, make you talk. There are a ton of discussion topics that are dealt with in a positive way and I think that is both important and not something we see a lot of in 'family films.' See this movie.
