Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Clarissa Mora
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Despite the few (mostly one) postings from people who clearly cannot get past their own inability to connect to a heartwarming film, for the official record I would like to add a few quotes regarding THE ROAD HOME from some well known and well respected film critics:"The Road Home is a bold and stylish drama from newcomer, Drew Johnson. A filmmaker with a creative eye that bristles with intelligence, charm and imagination!" ...Jeffrey K. Howard, The Movie Guys"The Road Home is a captivating film worthy of your attention, a well-written little film with a big heart. In this year filled with endless sequels and big-budget explosions, watching The Road Home is like finding a hidden treasure. Simply put - this is a wonderful and thought-provoking movie. Don't miss the opportunity to see it!" ...Tony Toscano, Film Critic, Emmy-Winning host Talking Pictures"An enjoyable movie that brings together America's two favorite past times, baseball and being in love" ...Greg Russell, Film Critic WDWB Detroit"A superbly crafted film...One of this year's best romances." ...David Giammarco, Film Critic Toronto Star, Elle Magazine"An impressive Independent feature...It has the look and feel of a studio picture." ...Playboy Magazine"I just got back from the CineVegas film festival and I saw a great film, The Road Home!" ...Casey Smith, Anchor, KLAS, CBS affiliate, Las Vegas"I Love this movie! It's not your typical movie about people from 'Vegas, in fact it's not your typical "feel good" movie either. It's a great film!" ...Heidi Harris, Host KXNT, 840AM Talk Radio, Las VegasIt would appear that they "Yeeech" comment from one lone person is the odd voice out regarding the quality and enjoyability of this film. What a shame that currently it is the lead comment on a film with otherwise stellar reviews from what appears to be various festival goers over the two years. Too bad so much weight has been given to that one review when others, including seasoned and film-weary professional critics, obviously feel this is an independent film of note.Takes all kinds I guess....

I really enjoyed the film. I review 3 or 4 films per week and simply base my critiques, on the way they make me feel. I was recently at a film festival at the Palms in Vegas and watched 3 different films. I felt this film was probably somewhat based on a true story, and that the people behind the film put alot of heart into it. Great film and I recommend it for families.

Dreams can come true but they don't occur the way you thought they would. That sums this movie up for me. I recently saw this movie "The Road Home," in Vegas and I really enjoyed it. There was a couple of slow scenes but I still will tell my friends to go see it. If you love baseball you have to see this film. My girlfriend cried a couple of times, she got wrapped up in the love story.

I had the great fortune to watch the full-length version of this movie at a Hollywood screening. I am glad to see that it has been edited as the original dragged on just a bit though it did have good flow. My gauge was through my eleven year-old son who joined me for the screening as he is a baseball nut. Not only did he make it through but he couldn't stop talking about the movie for days on end. I think every kid in his elementary school is waiting for this to come out and with good reason.A great family value movie with enough of a love story to hold the teenage to mid-twenty something crowd. There are enough feel-good moments to hold adults and seniors.I would like to see this movie make it to the big screen. With a little promotion it would do well. Especially if it breaks out either just after the World's Series 2002 or early 2003 opening of the MLB season.
