Too much of everything

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

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!

Well, what can i say? This was probably one of the best movies i have watched in the past six months and maybe even more. This is the story of a father whose son died and when he goes to take the body back home, he realizes that he wants and feels the need to complete the journey that his son started.The way the movie is developed is one where you feel like you are in the journey with Tom and the other people, so that you can understand what the characters are feeling and so that you can learn and grow with them. In fact the characters go through a lot of situations that make them change and understand each other better and better while they are in their journey, said so you can understand that there is a great character development going on in the movie.The cinematography, the quotes, the music and the plot seem to be really well thought because as i said before they let you feel like you are in the movie, and if you pay enough attention you will lean a lot as well.This, besides being a great movie, is also a really deep one. You can see that although a father might be cold or mean sometimes, he still loves you and he will do anything for you. If you let it, this movie can really help you understand more about life, in fact if you can watch it with an open heart, you might understand your self a little more and learn that it's never too late to try new things.I would totally recommend this movie to someone who wants to be entertained, see a great character development and at the same time is looking for something deep and a little emotional.

When the Americans make a film about the Europe they made product interesting only to Americans. The story is beautiful and the landscapes through which the actors are going unforgettable. But scenario is a weak point. Many platitudes and clichés. Characters from Europe are displayed with American models of behavior. Music is unadapted, especially modern music. The only song that was adapted to the movie scene is Spanish song on Gypsy celebration. The scene at the end when the main characters come to the cathedral is poor. There is take away the natural tone and inserted ambient music. The acting is good. But stereotypes are ruin the movie. This film should have to make some Spanish or French director.

I found this title when searching for movies about Backpacking. There are not many of them, so when I came across "The Way" I ordered it from my local library and patiently awaited its arrival.I have always appreciated the acting chops of Martin Sheen. And what a nice surprise to see that his son Emilio is also a wonderful actor, and so much more - literally - down to Earth than the other son. This is the story of a father who is going about his habitual life - seeing patients in his ophthalmology office, playing golf and drinking beers with his buddies, and yet something is missing - an understanding of his son Daniel's desire to travel the world. Unfortunately, he just doesn't get it, and even makes judgments about Daniel's decision to quit school and learn Anthropology from actually being with people in different social situations.The "spoiler," as you can see on the box cover and in any other review on this movie, is that when Tom learns that his son was killed on a French mountain, Tom's life is shifted to a place where he steps into his son's shoes to complete the pilgrimage upon which Daniel had embarked. I laughed and cried and marveled at the deft fingers of Emilio Estevez as he wove a wonderful tale of father and son and each one's search for himself on the beautiful panorama known as El Camino de Santiago. Masterful and heart-rending, I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves Nature and is ready to engage in an inner search.
