Same Kind of Different as Me

Based on the novel of the same name by Ron Hall, Denver Moore and Lynn Vincent, Same Kind of Different As Me is a drama directed by Michael Carney. It stars Greg Kinnear, Renée Zellweger, Djimon Hounsou, Olivia Holt, and Jon Voight.

With more money than they could ever possibly need, Ron and Debbie Hall have everything they could ever want … except for a loving marriage. When Ron’s unfaithfulness is brought to light, Debbie invites him to stay—as long as he remains truthful and does what she asks of him. But when her request includes serving the homeless at an inner-city rescue mission, Ron would prefer to write a large check instead. Guided by her faith and spurred on by the dream of a homeless man she senses will change their city, Debbie befriends a disenfranchised man named Denver. More surprisingly, so does Ron. Despite vast differences, their lives begin to intersect and they all are changed … forever.

“I think it is a story about forgiveness,” says Kinnear. “It’s a hopeful story. This was essentially the starting place of an incredible friendship between Ron and Denver that lasted many, many years, and (that collaboration) ended up being responsible for raising $100+ million for homelessness. That is amazing in and of itself.”

Same Kind of Different as Me is rated PG.
