    Excellent Film

    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!
