Charlie Sheen and Emilio Esteves are trying their hardest to get this movie onto the big screen. After over a year of searching, they have finally done it. They want us to encourage you to go see it. If you enjoy a quality drama with some humor and the people/lands of France and Spain, then please do accept their invite and go see it, otherwise take my invite and sit back for the show.
There is a good story, meaning, and messages in the movie. "The Way" is about a father who gets a phone call his son has died on day one of "el camino" de Santiago also known as "the walk". Charlie Sheen, is the dad and has the life of a doctor, where his son (in real life and on camera) Emilio Esteves, is more of the laissez-faire type. The son to father key quote was "You don't choose a life dad, you live one" and the drama begins. This is where dad goes to finish son's journey on the lengthy walk. He meets some characters along the way from Ireland, Holland, and Canada. Of course they mimic "Friends" and make the story work.
Now the soundtrack including tracks from Alanis Morisette, Coldplay, and the other standard cliche tracks actually end up working well. The movie is over two hours long, so get the large beverage and popcorn and make sure to grab an isle seat for the potty break. Given this is an awkward time of year for movies, this one is ahead of the pack, but not going to pull in any awards. I am a sucker for small run films and the 'B' titles, so "The Way" will garner 4 out of 5 Cyclones.
