The Way Home

The Way Home 
DVD

A missing child. A family in crisis. A faith tested. In their darkest hour, God gives hope.

Dean Cain stars as Randy Simpkins, a husband and father torn between the demands of his job and family. Asked by his wife to watch their two-year-old son, Joe, for a few minutes, he becomes distracted by work. When he returns, Joe is gone. He and his wife search desperately for their missing son through the vast countryside. But as their fear grows, the community responds – hundreds of supporters uniting behind the family in a powerful spiritual journey that will test the couple’s love and faith, and forever change a community.

My Review:  Overall I thought this movie was fairly well done.  It did a good job of capturing the emotions from this true story.  I enjoyed watching the "extras" on the video, which interviewed the real Simpkins family.  How this heart-wrenching day changed a man's life for the better is inspiring.  How the entire community came together to help was incredible.  I also appreciate the cleanliness of this film.  There was no language, violence or nudity.  Definitely a family film.  If I was to look for a downside of the film, I would say that some of the actors could have been portrayed better, with a deeper look into their characters.  I found one particular character to be rather suspicious, and I know that this was not the director's intent.

I received this DVD free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com <http://BookSneeze.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
