Movie review and Giveaway!

The Way Home (DVD)
Published by Lionsgate

A missing child. A family in crisis. A faith tested. In their darkest hour, God gives hope.

Dean Cain stars as Randy Simpkins, a husband and father torn between the demands of his job and family. Asked by his wife to watch their two-year-old son, Joe, for a few minutes, he becomes distracted by work. When he returns, Joe is gone. He and his wife search desperately for their missing son through the vast countryside. But as their fear grows, the community responds – hundreds of supporters uniting behind the family in a powerful spiritual journey that will test the couple’s love and faith, and forever change a community.

Review: Pass the tissues please! A very simple story. A child disappears and they deploy Search and Rescue. That is pretty much the whole movie, BUT it works! It is so powerful, heartfelt, and full of emotion. Your heart just pours out for this family. This is based on a true story which breaks your heart even more. I was literally crying through 50% of the movie. In the first 30 seconds of the movie the father pours his heart out to God, asking him for help, and the tears just keep pouring from there. I was so touched by the fact that the news spread so fast through the churches and so many people showed up to help. This is not just a movie about a lost boy, it is a movie about Faith. This is a wonderful family movie for any age or gender.
