Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Renee Zellweiger moved into this Texan woman really well, portraying someone who wanted to recapture love, and she did it by loving unconditionally, getting her husband and others to do the same. I was deeply moved by the story, the way it unfolded, the characters and the acting. The thing about the South is that people have a Christian outlook however they understand it. The character Denver has very interesting ideas, but he gets the gist of it, eventually the husband begins to open into the recognition that staying with someone and caring for them as a human being changes him. All three main characters have a great character arc, their impact on one another and their community is amazing -- especially as a true story. It's a slow burn and one of the most powerful scenes between Debbie and Denver goes on without a word spoken, so much is communicated. She has a dream, she trusts and follows it. Don't believe the reviews that complain about the religion. this is a real story of real people with very real troubles. We should all have kindness of the same kind. Watch, you might find it inspirational.

A story with a theme about how a couple found love, purpose and a way to stop racism by helping the disenfranchised. Essentially, the stereotypical far-fetched ideas are that faith can ease racial tensions, build trust among people divided by social differences, and cure prejudice by coming together. The film starts slowly with scenes of rich people's palatial homes, swanky art gallery soirées, clichéd voiceovers as backstory - all failing to produce any kind of empathy about a marital breakdown. The viewer isn't given anything to feel for the characters and it serves to extinguish any intrigue for what might follow. But, eventually the story centres on a homeless man who is offered compassion by a warm-hearted woman and his husband. Unfortunately, it feels laboured in the way it is edited and all we have is a lovely, life-affirming, uplifting message delivered in a heavy-handed, overly-sweeteened manner. The soundtrack is out of kilter, varying from ponderous simple melody incidentals to Christian rock which don't fit the scenes. The final act does goes up a register thanks to Djimon Hounsou and his touching character and his speech of heartfelt sincerity near the end. The overall production is uneven. No matter how admirable the real story is, it is self-congratulatory and sickly sweet like many a Hallmark movie.

This is one of the most unwatchable movies I have ever tried to watch. Honestly, after 10 minutes in you will be questioning why you spent 10 minutes on this film.

International art dealer Ron Hall must befriend a dangerous homeless man in order to save his struggling marriage to his wife, a woman whose dreams will lead all three of them on the journey of their lives. Same Kind of Different as Me is disappointing, the acting isn't that good and the story regardless it's good intentions is boring and bland. (0/10)
