First a disclaimer - I don't have any kids, which I've been told is the reason why I find 'The Road' (both the book and now the movie) horrifically boring. I went to the movie really hoping that I'd missed something in the book. I really wanted to like it. But, guess what? The Emperor still has no clothes. Really. Fine, the performances are good and Charlize, as always, is an inspiration, but man oh man, give me some story...give me some drama...give me something to latch on to. If you were able to get through the book not once having second thoughts about putting it down and finding something else to read, you'll probably enjoy the movie version. But if you're like me and found the book as torturous as a root canal, stay away. If you're looking for a story between father and son, where in the middle of hopelessness we find hope, rent "Life is Beautiful" again. I know Benigni has fallen from grace lately, but at least in that film you get some major laughs.
