الطريق إلى البيت

This is a gentle, simple film, based on true events, about honest people with kind hearts working together as a community. As such, it is not a "blockbuster". It does not have any special effects, violence, nudity, or action - other than some well orchestrated crowd scenes and use of a couple of helicopters. Therefore, it seems to have disappointed one or two reviewers. However, their disappointment speaks more to their unrealistic expectations of the film, rather than any failings of its creators to effectively tell their story - which they do with competence, heart, and production values appropriate to the material. Personally, I do NOT believe in God (or any other higher power), and I am usually irritated (at best) and enraged (at worst) by people with religious "faith" imposing their beliefs on all and sundry. However, I found nothing offensive or preachy in this film. The film depicts real people who DO have faith, and as far as I can tell it does so honestly, and with no agenda other than telling THEIR story. I didn't at any time feel that I was being subtly coerced into following their beliefs. Simply observing them interacting with each other in their own way. Yes, every one in it seemed to be a very good, kind-hearted person, and they no doubt attribute that to their faith. And in some respects so do I - not because I share their religious beliefs, but because I recognise their humanity, which is compatible with my own. I was moved by the kindness and selflessness of the people depicted, and the film successfully drew me in to share their fears, doubts, and ultimate relief. As a non-believer I don't begrudge them their joy. I personally think they got lucky - most people don't - and their good luck would naturally seem to them like the intervention of a benign and loving God. And maybe they're right about that. I can't disprove his existence. But my doubts about his existence are as strong as their (equally unprovable) faith. But none of that matters. In this instance, no one was harmed by the religion. A family was reunited, and during the time the boy was missing their "faith" kept them strong and gave them some comfort. And no doubt the kindness of the community was at least in part due to the religious connection between them all. So, the film kept me interested and invested throughout, I cared about the characters; I cared about the outcome; I was never bored; I was never distracted by irritation over the religious content. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it. For what it was. A pleasant little TV movie, well-made, well acted, and with a happy ending. Sometimes that's all I need.

My wife and I sat down on a Saturday night thinking that the film would be action, drama, or comedy. We didn't know that it was an experience in religion. Whether based on facts or not the story is not believable. Yes, it will pull you in as would any story about the loss of a child but this B rated, direct to DVD movie should be avoided. If you are a devout Christian you will love this amateurish production, maybe. This film is all about preaching god to you and trying to get you to believe in god. I am annoyed that this kind of film is allowed in the main-stream and that such a film can be put upon so many innocent viewers. I'm sure this is just the beginning of the video invasion of more of the same

I feel this could be an action packed comedy! Hand to face!

This film is quite possibly Dean Cain's best performance of his career. The way that family, friends and law enforcement officers come together to help a family whose two-year old son has gone missing is the strength of this film. The viewer gets involved in this search as if it was an ongoing real event. We are hoping and almost praying that the child will be found before dark but as the day wears on that seems more and more unlikely. Dean Cain gives such a strong emotional performance as the anguished father yearning for his son's return. Definitely worth watching!

Sonny totally rocked in this Film. This is a Fantastic Wonderful Family Film. I Totally Thought the Child was KIDNAP. Nope just went out for a Stroll Walk with his Dog 🐕. But how he was found was a Old Gentleman and His Son in his 30s. His Son will never forget how strong his father was at looking for that 2 year old child. Think about that he pretty much went in the direction. Wired fencing under stuff kind of. In kind of spots were there was kind of places NOT TO LOOK. Then Bang there is the Dog and the 2 Year Old Child Kind of Lost from the Walk way out in the Wood's. Were at one point they Crossed Wired fencing. Very Good Film To all CHILDREN DO NOT WALK AROUND ALONE WHY? Because you might FREAK OUT the Whole Family, Friend's, School's, Neighborhood's, Everyone that Loves you.

The whole family loved watching the experience this family had during such a horrific ordeal. We felt like we were there and everyone of us worried about his safe return. We also love watching movies that strengthen the beliefs we already hold to be true and dear to our hearts.

I really felt for the parents in this movie. Dean Cain was amazing as always. I was starting to get a little bored with the search because it seemed it went on forever. Other than that, it kept my interest. Superb ending.

This movie was pretty good, but it was slow-moving at times. It is refreshing to see movies that include prayer! I am thrilled that Prime Video has included it in their list of free movies!!!!

This is a good clean family movie. The storyline is thought provoking, suspenseful and touching all at once. The producer does a wonderful job of using the disappearance of an adorable two year old boy, in the midst of one family's hustle and bustle. The sudden interruption in their daily routine causes not only them - but the entire community - to pause, call upon God and reflect on the important things in life. All done without nudity, cussing or drugs. But..... it would have been even better if the genius filming it would have spent another $100 for a decent camera tripod. The camera nauseatingly bounces all over like they're filming in a heard of buffalo, making over half of the movie unwatchable. A sad way to ruin what could have been a good film.
