I little long but I was never bored. A really nice story and it made me want to walk the road myself. *Good

A nepotistic movie with no character depth, no moments of humor, and every third scene has Michael Sheen walking a trail, set to some soothing music. If I ever need a movie to save me from the grasp of insomnia, The Way is it.

Though possessing several genuinely funny moments, the overall attempt at evoking an emotional response for the quest to live out a dead son's dream fell totally flat. Despite all the heart-strings Estevez tried to pull, it was superficial, wooden and forced - emotionally empty.

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.

Decent. While I like Sheen and Nesbitt, the rather eventless narrative comes off as perfunctory and Estevez didn't manage to touch me.

Starts off well, but when two really grating characters join in, it goes downhill fast.

Sentimental, pretty and obvious, with an ending that I felt discarded the real value of such a pilgrimage (having done Gijon to Compostela myself, although by car). Definitely in 'Wizard of Oz' territory, but without witches and munchkins, so your appreciation of it may depend on how much you enjoy watching witches and munchkins versus people like yourself.

A decent idea and the beginning it was quite moving and gentle in tone, however with the introduction of the James Nesbitt character I lost a bit on interest, and the film seemed to drift. Sharper editing might have made the message clearer.

I would like to do the trip one day, but boring movie.

A sentimental travelogue, well done but could have had 10-20 minutes trimmed from it. Don't know why everyone has to make their films 1.5 - 2 hours, even when the story being told doesn't necessarily call for it.

Amazing adventure story that really makes you want to drop it all, hit the road, and not look back. Martin Sheen is great as a self-absorbed father living a luxurious life who throws it all away when his son dies while hiking in Spain. The story, the scenery, the people he meets on the way, all of them are very well done. Really makes you think about what else is out there.

Kudos to both Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen for a job well done! Class act movie!

Great idea, if it ended maybe slighly cheesy, but a lot of the dialogue made me wince and the constant music interludes gave it a tourist ad sort of feel. Still a good film.

I was understandably wary of its potentially hokey premise. But I needn't have been. Estevez has made a decent inspirational film that boasts several emotionally moving moments.

Many things to like about this one: great location for a film, understated performance by Sheen (outside of the drunken scene), and a recognition of a spiritual element in the face of some big questions. And yet, for every good decision, we get moments that are overwritten, characters that aren't quite right tonally (esp. the female and the Irishman), and the bizarre insertion of Coldplay, The Shins, and Alanis Morrisette, songs that simply do not fit with the larger whole of the film.

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.

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