Synopsis

Watch: Down the Road Again 2011 123movies, Full Movie Online – The sequel to the Canadian classic Goin’ Down the Road (1970) picks up forty years later when Pete is on the cusp of retirement from his job as postie. Pete has been living in Vancouver, disconnected from his old life and friendships. On the verge of his retirement, Pete receives a call from an acquaintance of his somewhat estranged best friend, Joey. Pete learns that Joey is facing surgery for cancer. Days later, Pete is paid a visit from Joey’s pal and Pete is given a package as he learns of Joey’s demise. Joey has sent Pete the urn containing his ashes, 3 letters, money and the plea that Pete fulfill his final wishes. Instead of peaceful retirement, gardening and dreaming of a more creative life, Pete instead finds himself on the road again in the old Chevy. This road trip is a true adventure and each letter, a clue as to what will happen next. From the grave, Joey dictates Pete’s next steps and ultimately changes the course of his life. First stop is Toronto where Pete is to find Joey’s estranged wife, Betty and deliver some money that Joey has left for her. He also has to inform her of Joey’s death. Having been abandoned by Joey while expecting their child, Betty is not at all receptive to Pete when she discovers him at her doorstep. Betty’s best friend Selina invites Pete in where he breaks the news and meets Betty-Jo – Joey and Betty’s daughter. Now a forty year old woman, Betty-Jo has had a string of unsuccessful relationships and unsteady jobs. Betty-Jo has the fire and adventurous nature of her estranged father but is also filled with anger and resentment towards the man who deserted her. With his first task completed, Pete climbs back into his Chevy to continue on the road towards Cape Breton where he is to scatter his old friend’s ashes. Betty-Jo asks to hitch a ride to Oshawa but once aboard the car announces her true intentions – to travel with Pete all the way to Cape Breton. In a move to try to get to know her father better, Betty-Jo convinces Pete to allow her to come on his journey and together they unravel more secrets to the past than either of them expected..
Plot: In 1970, Joey and Pete left Nova Scotia to try life in the big city in the Canadian Classic Goin’ Down the Road. Now, some forty years later, Joey has died, and Pete must fulfill his last wish: to take his ashes back to Cape Breton Island, as well as a few other tasks along the way. Armed with a series of letters and an envelope full of money, Pete heads back home. DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN is a touching, comedic and romantic tale of second chances at life and love.

An enrichment to the original story
I’m so glad that this film was made. This was a beautiful way to revisit the original story. So often, our mistakes in life are left unresolved, our broken relationships stay broken, and our old wounds are still sensitive when touched upon. Too easily, we turn away and refuse to visit the past. Pete would never have made that trip back east, if it weren’t for Joey’s death. Yet, he did, because of his loyalty to his lifelong friend. The sequel gives us new information which adds much for understanding the motivations of Pete and Joey in the original story. This movie illustrates, how, when you take a risk and revisit your past, it could lead to a new beginning. Wonderful performances from the actors in this film, old and young, make this not only an affectionate homage to the original film, but a meditation on the passage of time, on facing one’s past, reinterpreting it, renewing old relationships, and making new ones.

Like Meeting Up With Old Friends 40 Years Later
Such a wonderful movie. I saw “Goin’ Down the Road” decades ago and it made a big impression on me. I was a young man, about the same age as “Pete” and “Joey”, when I first saw it. At first I thought it was a documentary as it was filmed in black and white and seemed totally unrehearsed. All these years after the fact, I can still recall the huge influx of young men from the East coast, into Ontario, during the 1960s. Most of them were fine fellows, who worked hard and loved to party. Some of them quickly became disillusioned with Ontario and moved restlessly on to the next promised land, the West Coast. Others remained in Ontario, put down roots, raised families and lived out their lives here. The rest simply didn’t acclimate to the huge difference between life in Ontario and life in the Maritimes and eventually, returned to the East coast, disappointed, but happy that they gave it a try. I never failed to watch the original movie when I came across it, often in the wee hours of the morning. Invariably, I enjoyed the story immensely, but I was always left wondering what happened to the two restless young men who were so skillfully played by Doug McGrath and the late Paul Bradley. I was delighted when I stumbled across “Down the Road Again” while I was channel hopping a few months ago. I had no idea that a follow up to the original movie had been made. I found “Goin Down the Road” originally while I was channel hopping, so my discovery of the sequel, in exactly the same way, forty years later, was very appropriate. I enjoyed the sequel so much that I tried to find an email address for Doug McGrath, just so I could send him a short note to tell him what a great job he and the rest of the cast did and how much I loved both movies. I always felt a vague sense of sadness when I saw the two young men leaving Toronto and heading West at the end of the first movie. Happily, this final instalment answered most of the questions that were raised in the first movie. As I watched it, I felt like I was meeting up with some old friends from my distant youth and finding out how their lives had turned out.
