A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

'The Way' has plenty of appeal and the story behind it is a moving one, but it does feel like a missed opportunity. While anybody who enjoys road trip style films will probably get some pleasure out of 'The Way', it's only engaging for so long and unfortunately doesn't have the depth of plot required for a 2 hour long film.It's around the halfway point when the film really starts to run low on ideas. It becomes repetitive and dull, and in its desperation it resorts to some very unconvincing and poorly written situations. Most notably, the scene where the characters get drunk and start trading insults, which felt totally unnatural and didn't match the atmosphere of the film.

After his son dies in an auto-erotic asphyxiation accident on his first day on the fabled Camino de Santiago (the police code for this is "died in a storm" wink, wink), ex-president Martin Sheen goes to France to recover the remains of his ignominiously fallen offspring. Sheen decides that walking the Camino might be a good place to pick up women, so off he goes.Predictable at every step yet I loved the movie for its beautiful depiction of the Spanish countryside and all things Spanish. I'm sure the movie has motivated hundreds of viewers to make the trek. ¡Bravo!

Wow, what is there really to say about this movie? It had so many aspects to it that just really made it a good movie overall. Character development, check. A lovable cast, check. Memorable quotes, check. "You don't choose a life, you live it." is probably one of the most memorable quotes from the entire movie and the under lying message of the movie itself. The story of a pilgrimage taken by several people leading to the same destination for different purposes.The story moves in such a way that the audience is able to connect and feel the depth of each individual character. There are no shallow characters in this movie, that is for sure - even the characters that only appear for several minutes have a certain interest to them. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for something interesting with depth.The reason this movie develops so well is because the journey is almost like a time-line. Each section of the road is like a doorway to more character develop. As the characters develop they slowly become more connected to the audience because it's like we're being taken on a journey with them. The cinematography is also another thing that adds to the overall greatness of the film. The country side is extremely beautiful and far shots really fill you with the same sense of wonder that the characters must of felt. So I'll say it once again, I strongly do recommend this film.

This is one of those phenomenal movies that you have a hard time simply calling it a "movie". It is a masterpiece of human emotion and a journey into the spirit of humanity. I think most will finish this movie in one way, with a pad in your hand trying to figure out if you too can go and find your way.....
