The Way Home - A Movie Review

The Way Home
A movie review
Randy Simpkins (Dean Cain "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman") and his family are packing for vacation, when Randy leaves his two-year old son outside playing while he 'checks his work email real fast'  When he returns Joe is gone.   But where?  As a workaholic, Randy is often busy, and his wife is sick of t, and fully blames Randy for Joe's disappearance!!
When the Simpkins pastor puts out a prayer chain the entire community pulls together to look for the little boy.   The community unites in prayer, love and searching.
My Thoughts:  Wow, an emotional powerful movie!!  The producers did a fabulous job of showing the gaumant of emotions that the parents would be feeling, and all of the friends/family and how they would also feel.  I also gained more appreciation for the technical trials of searching for someone, and the complications and procedures that would need to be followed.  It had enough details to make it feel accurate (movie based on a true story), but not so much that it was bogged down.
This movie is a clean movie, and safe for the whole family if mom and dad are willing to answer questions.  *note, I always recommend pre-watching all movies, but especially with this one, you want to know if you really want the questions (I won't personally be letting our little people watch it yet).  The Sheriff and other a few other people talk about the possibilities, ie: 'two year old body floating face down' etc.
