Good movie but grossly overrated

Fresh and Exciting

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Vincent(Robert Sheehan) is a young man with Tourettes Syndrome. The Road Within opens with Vincent in a church screaming obscenities while a priest is saying Mass. His father places him at a private facility where he is roomed with Alex(Dev Patel), who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and is a germ freak who can never be touched. They are soon joined by Marie(Zoe Kravitz) who has Anorexia. Maria steals their doctor's car keys and thus begins a very different road trip. The three main actors are magnificent, with a natural chemistry. The story alternates between funny and heartbreaking with ease. The final scenes are a bit sentimental, but I still would recommend The Road Within for its' positive outlook on life.

This movie definitely wasn't what I expected when I started watching it, I didn't read the description and just thought it'd be pure comedy with the pictures it had, as has been said though, it was different, pleasantly surprising. The movie does an amazing job defining the individual characters histories, problems and loneliness in a world dominated with judgement. It is a nice mix of comedy with seriousness in it. This is definitely not for the feint heated as it has lots of swearing, sexual scenes and some blood / fighting in it. All in all, I enjoyed it very much. I'd love to watch this movie again in the near future..

Superb movie! incredible acting all around. The pacing of this movie was perfect for engagement as well as reflection.Many, many precious moments.Going on a road trip together was the perfect vehicle to afford the 3 main characters to focus on themselves and begin to heal themselves and each other. Just ideal envelope for their mutual growth...almost like an incubator.Mindful development of Dad's journey---no cheap cliché of Dad being all wrong about everything.I really grew to cherish the friendship created out of pain, honesty and resilience.Just loved the film. Amazing that this is a first-time Director!!

Absolutely loved this movie! It gives you real empathy for the things people and their families with these disabilities go through. It will make you want to cry at times but there are many laugh out loud moments. Somehow director, Gren Wells, manages to draw you into their world so that you laugh with the characters rather than at them, at the same time as you feel their pain. Can't say enough about the acting in this! Robert Sheehan, Dev Patel, and Zoe Kravitz are each outstanding and portray heartbreakingly real characters. Robert Patrick is wonderful as the frustrated father with no understanding of how to cope with his son and his challenges. Kyra Sedgewick as the doctor and director of an experimental program, is well cast and believable. Don't miss this one!
