Trivia
Martin Sheen originally suggested Michael Douglas or Mel Gibson for the lead role, but Emilio Estevez had written the main character's role specifically for his father and refused to make the film if Martin Sheen did not take part in it. During a screening of the film, Estevez turned to Sheen and said jokingly, "When Michael Douglas sees this, he'll fire his agent."

Goofs
At the end of their Way, the four pilgrims directly go to the Cathedral, carrying their backpacks. This is not allowed, the bulk being an annoyance when there are too many people inside, and also for security reasons. The movie is set in 2010. Back then, it was still allowed to bring a backpack to the cathedral. It was changed not before 2013.

Quotes
Daniel: You don't choose a life, dad. You live one.

Simple yet impressive !

I really liked this film. It made me feel good. I loved the beautiful countryside camera shots. Those alone are worthy of National Geographic. The parts between conversations had a calming effect on me along with the soundtrack. I thought Martin Sheen did very well as did the other actors. They all worked so well together and by the end of the movie you could see they spent a lot of time together on the set and honestly got along or so it seemed and thats what made the movie impressive. Wonderful movie to watch with an uplifting vibe and quirky characters with a real bond make this a definite must see. I can actually see myself watching this for a second time and that's rare in films for me. Enjoy !
