      Ken R Homeward Bound – Interesting Journey This thoughtful TV Movie is graced with sterling performances from a cast of seasoned professionals. David Soul as the father of son Moosie Drier (always convincing - Oh God '77), the ever-reliable Barnard Hughes as Soul's father, and a group of unique supporting players --all bring this slow burn family study to life with their sincere portrayals-- offering several soul searching insights into their characters troubled past and present relationships. Perhaps a little more time could have been invested to flesh out the characters, but we eventually get to know what drives them. The pace is somewhat deliberately introspective, but the outcomes are worth the journey. The well photographed, good looking locations, offer interesting vistas to compliment the emotionally searching story. Above average TV writer Burt Prelutsky (M*A*S*H) brings his characters to life with an admirable believability. This film has been treated to an excellent re-mastering so image and sound are impressive. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Homeward bound is a classic childs movie.
