The way home is a true story about a major event in the Simpkin's family lives and is very well done if i do say so myself. Dean Cain is spectacular and really makes you feel for his character. Lori Edgerman is really good with being a concerned mother but has her occasional over the top accent. Some of the supporting cast is a bit undeveloped and distracting. the highlight of this film is dean in the woods praying for his son to be alright. The pace of the film is well planned out as is the story. the film will pull you into this major event of a struggling family's life i think you will be wanting this to be finding The Way Home to your DVD collection!
This is a good clean family movie. The storyline is thought provoking, suspenseful and touching all at once. The producer does a wonderful job of using the disappearance of an adorable two year old boy, in the midst of one family's hustle and bustle. The sudden interruption in their daily routine causes not only them - but the entire community - to pause, call upon God and reflect on the important things in life. All done without nudity, cussing or drugs.
But..... it would have been even better if the genius filming it would have spent another $100 for a decent camera tripod. The camera nauseatingly bounces all over like they're filming in a heard of buffalo, making over half of the movie unwatchable. A sad way to ruin what could have been a good film.

Good Grief! I was a blubbery mess by the time this movie was over! What a great Christian film, and a great family film. There aren't enough of those out there. Don't miss this, and don't listen to people giving it a low rating because God is mentioned. This is a must see. It's about putting God and your family before everything else. To the person who said it's not believable, It's based on a true story, so obviously believable. There is a whole town as eye witnesses. It also shows how a community will show up to help a family in need. Please don't pass this by just because this family turned to the Lord in their greatest time of need. I know I certainly did. Many people do. They also wrote a book about it called Our Way Home which has a lot more detail. Highly recommend for families to watch this and remember the most valuable thing we have is...each other.
For the last six years, I have personally been looking for some good faith-based movies to watch to inspire my life which at age 65 how's I rate this?
I have watched countless movies in the past five years, and there are so few that have good acting and good stories stories. This this is one ofthem.
The emotions of the father going through the search seem real, although I could imagine infinitely more intensity.
The interactions between the father and the mother, especially when the mother starts accusing the father, resonated deeply with me and the situation I've lived in my life.
To write this movie one star simply because it's a Christian movie is absolutely ridiculous. To rate at nine or ten might be just a little bit generous.
The genre has very weak representation, and this goes very long way to improve it. We need more movies like this that are based on fact.
And if you're not a Christian, the movie is still a good movie. Just don't close your eyes during the prayers if you don't want to hear them.
