Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

You won't be disappointed!

Waste of time

The acting in this movie is really good.

I saw this movie at my girlfriends aunt's place this past weekend, and I must say that it was an all around bad film. It had potential to be a decent to good family film about dealing with tragic loss for both father and daughter, but in stead it came across as a thinly veiled animal rights advert. Even the music was poorly handled, the sound track seemed to range from schmaltzy hallmark commercial stuff to over the top and melodramatic, not to mention that it was actually edited into the film poorly(at some points the music almost drowned out the dialogue), which pulls the viewer out of the film and probably only hurt the acting which was already on life support.The story itself seemed altogether forced, the mother dies at the beginning because she needs to reach something in the back seat, so she unbuckles her seat belt and stops watching the road. I was left feeling less bad about the mother dying and more thinking that she stupidly risked her husband and daughters life as well as other nearby motorists just to do something irrelevant. Why not have the car get plowed into by a drunk driver who runs a red light or something else equally tragic and realistic? ***SPOILER*** There were also these sub-plots about this tainted animal feed and the decision to put down this little girls favorite dog on the ranch which didn't seem to serve any purpose other than to waste time. And then there was the part where Peter Coyote orders one of his ranch hands to DROWN A LITTER OF PUPPIES, seriously that's the kind of thing they put in bad Stephen Segal movies to make the bad guy even more evil.Finally, and this is just a nitpick, but Jason London looked like he belongs on the sex offender registry with his greasy looking hair and scraggly goatee.All around I was left thinking that the biggest tragedy wasn't the little girls mothers death, but that this would stand as the last film in Peter Boyle's otherwise remarkable career. Fortunately for him, unlike Raul Julia in Street Fighter, most people won't remember this movie.

I didn't watch this movie with high expectations so I wasn't too disappointed but I feel like there was a lot of wasted potential. What could have been a touching story about reverence and respect for life, and healing after a tragedy turned into nothing more than animal rights propaganda. I found the acting from all parties to be quite unconvincing. The "troubled daughter" as it read on the back of the movie cover, was a sweet grieving little girl who made a few mistakes with the best intentions at heart. I was not raised on a ranch, but I have a hard time believing that animals are tossed aside and killed so quickly and completely without thought as in this film. For the younger audience this movie could possibly be enjoyable but let me put it this way, if I wanted to watch some kind of PETA film, I would have rented one.

All Roads Lead Home is a great family movie everyone can enjoy. The movie will make you laugh and cry! It is a wonderful movie that you can walk away talking about and feel touched. The filming and choice of scenery was well done by Dennis Fallon and his crew. We enjoyed watching Peter Boyle in his final acting role. Peter Coyote did a wonderful job in portraying the grandfather in the movie.The selection of actors and actresses for this film was properly chosen. The movie has a strong message for animal rights and animal welfare. The movie also shows the respect and love for all creatures small and large. I attended the preview of the movie at the Mall of America in August 2008 and thoroughly enjoyed the film along with my other 9 friends. They as well had rave reviews that there was finally a good family movie out there to be seen. Each one of us had the opportunity to meet Dennis Fallon the director in person. He answered our questions, and explained how scenes were made. This is definitely a must see family movie that can be enjoyed for years to come. I believe this is a movie in its infant steps towards the betterment of animal welfare. We are all hoping that there will be more movies similar to All Roads Lead Home that can be produced. I would highly recommend this movie to families with children 7 years and older. Anyone who has a sincere appreciation for animals will certainly enjoy this film.

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!!
