Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMartin Sheen originally suggested Michael Douglas or Mel Gibson for the lead role, but Emilio Estevez had written the main character's role specifically for his father and refused to make the film if Martin Sheen did not take part in it. During a screening of the film, Estevez turned to Sheen and said jokingly, "When Michael Douglas sees this, he'll fire his agent."
- GoofsSome shots used later in the movie are clearly given the views, locations around St Jean that would only be walked on Day 1 of the trek from St Jean into Spain.

Featured review
Simple but engaging road movie
Like most road movies, this is as much about the characters' inward journey as it is about getting from A to B. At times it is too sentimental for my taste and some of the encounters seem rather artificial. But it has considerable warmth, humanity and good humour.
I saw this at the BFI in London at a screening attended by Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen. They are very proud of their film and it obviously means a lot to them, as father and son. They came across as intelligent and socially aware people, which was great to see.
During the discussion, a member of the audience pointed out the parallels with "The Wizard of Oz", something which I confess escaped me while the film was on but seemed perfectly obvious when I heard it. So watch out for that if you see the movie, and also look out for a cameo by Matt Clark, veteran character actor and, apparently, good friend of MArtin Sheen.
