My comments: Stupid, forgettable name for a movie. Having no clue what this movie was about, I went. It was probably a good thing I had no clue, because I probably would have never gone if I'd known its premise. It was OK. A tearjerker, which I'm not crazy about. And I felt I had to take a couple of stretches of imagination, "liberal license." I think what they wanted to say was that the wife, Debbie, had a very strong link to Denver, when the movie made it appear that the stronger link, all along, was the husband, Ron. It was based on a true story, I'll have to look up if it was from a book or not. Acting was fine, I don't think I've seen either Greg Kinneer or Renee Zellweger in a movie recently, they've both aged well. Lots of religion without being preachy.
RT/ IMDb Summary: SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME is based on the inspiring true story of international art dealer Ron Hall (Greg Kinnear), who befriends a homeless man (Djimon Hounsou) in hopes of saving his struggling marriage to Debbie (Renée Zellweger), a woman whose dreams will lead all three of them on the most remarkable journey of their lives. Jon Voight plays Hall's father, with whom he reconciles thanks to the revelations of his new life. Based on the New York Times bestseller.
