Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

christysmail3 I was hoping for family entertainment that I could watch with my grandkids in a couple of years. Unfortunately, I bought the movie, and can't return it now. It began poorly with an irresponsible move on the mother's part when she unbuckled her seat belt on a dark rainy night to dig for something in the back seat! I should have turned it off there...The vet and her assistant were poorly cast as well. Cute girls, but way way way to girlie for the parts they played. Very unrealistic and annoying. What?....Used to acting on 2 1/2 Men???? Oh, maybe stay there....It was also very poor taste to have such low pants and excessive skin showing on the vet. She had to keep hiking up her pants in a few of the scenes, and had some issues with bending or squatting. Not appropriate for this type of role or film dealing with a girl recovering from her mother's death, and having trust issues with her dad. (Not a future mom role). I've never met a female vet who dresses like this either.I agree with other reviews about this having the feel of an animal rights movie. Waste of film time, and not important to the plot.And for people who were sensitive to animals, they should have readily "listened" to the trusted dog when he seemingly barked for no apparent reason. They would have seen the hole in the grass and at least thought about what may have been wrong in the barn. Also, the reaction to put the dog down was WAY to severe.This had the potential of being a "keeper" movie.....Now, I just feel like I wasted my money. Perhaps they could have a re-do to redeem themselves and send me a copy so I don't feel like I totally wasted my money.

tallerthinner ****** SPOILERS !!! ******I rented this film and watched it with my teenage daughter. Overall good, with many issues that are food for discussion. I won't repeat those here.My problems have to do with portraying the rancher and his help as barbaric. It's one thing to humanely cull animals that are not useful, or too sick and expensive to be cost-effective to keep. This would have been distressing enough for a tender-hearted city girl. When it came to (apparently) drowning unwanted puppies, though, I began to wonder if I was watching a propaganda film for a certain animal- rights group. This is NOT, in my experience, typical behavior for a livestock operation, it's also illegal, and the girl should have called the law on 'em.

shelleywallace Our family was so taken in by this movie! You fall in love with the characters and feel what they are going through like you are part of the story. This movie definitely makes a statement about the love and care of animals. It is amazing how true it is about animals intuition if they could only speak to us more clearly. Peter Boyle's last performance is hilarious! The art direction is outstanding. The Missouri & Kansas landscapes are picturesque! Could not wait for it to come out on DVD to buy and share with friends and family that did not get a chance to see it. Would love to see more of these actors in future movies. Thanks for making a movie that all ages could see!!

S M90068 The description 'family film' gets tossed around a lot. I have found that either these so called family movies are either A) animated or B) still contain language, themes, etc that aren't exactly family friendly.All Roads Lead Home is different. It is a wonderful film that manages to be sad, happy, funny, touching, and uplifting all at once. I won't go into to too many details as I don't want to ruin the story, but the message is simple, every living thing deserves a chance.The movie also deals with death and dying which in my opinion is a positive. It shows that death is a part of life, it isn't glossed over but it also is shown morbidly or overly traumatic.All in all it is a great film that I highly recommend...it will make you cry, make you laugh, make you think and most importantly if you watch it with children, make you talk. There are a ton of discussion topics that are dealt with in a positive way and I think that is both important and not something we see a lot of in 'family films.' See this movie.
