Despite Emilio Estevez's best intentions and skillful craftsmanship, The Way plays too heavily on cliches and tropes and never manages to develop beyond the superficial. The few times the film does manage to reach a layer below it truly glows, but those moments are few and far between.

the movie is acceptable, U gotta go out sometime & change your environment this will help in every possible way, but a christian religious Journey to Spain?!! i never heard that. why burn him in ashes, U must bury him. when he's dead he's dead U can't take him to another place.

Starring Martin Sheen as Jessica Lange and Emilio Estevez as an older, fatter, and 100% more bespectacled version of that Emilio Estevez we remember from the 80s. If these are the type of people I'm bound to meet while backpacking in Spain, I'll stay at home clipping my diabetic parrot's talons.

"There's little in The Way that doesn't succumb to platitudinous conceptions of spirituality or lowest-common-denominator filmmaking." - Andrew Schenker

Decent. While I like Sheen and The Man in Black from 'Lost', the rather eventless narrative comes off as perfunctory and Estevez didn't manage to touch me.
