Critical reception
A review in The Globe and Mail called The Right Way, "an old-fashioned, grim Canadian movie" that "despite its paramount flows... marks the birth of a promising young director."{{cite news |last1=Al-Solaylee |first1=Kamal |title=Taking the wrong roads in the suburbs (film review) |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/taking-the-wrong-roads-in-the-suburbs/article723843/|accessdate=15 August 2018 |work=The Globe and Mail |date=2 June 2007}} The reviewer for the National Post wrote that despite the fact that the "message is powerful and the production values fantastic (the film was shot for $10,000 but looks like it cost at least 10 times as much), The Right Way suffers from thinly developed characters... and a railroad-straight plot.{{cite news |last1=Knight |first1=Chris |title=Making babies isn't always a joke (film review) |publisher=National Post |date=22 June 2007|id={{ProQuest|330612765}} }}
