The Way

A man travels to Europe to pick up the remains of his son and finish the trek he started.  Along the way he meets up with a eclectic group of characters and learns about himself as well as the man that his son was.

This is a very charming film, written and directed by Emilio Esteves and staring his father, Martin Sheen.  It is a tad slow but has just enough balance of sentiment and sarcasm.  It is nothing fancy, but leaves that Eat, Pray, Love nonsense in the dust.

It is about finding one's self as well as others and accepting them for who they are.  Again there was nothing spectacular about this movie, but it was well made, well acted, and for those that see it, it will be well received.

*** Must See


Rated PG-13 (for language)
