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.
