Storyline

- TriviaFilmed in Canton, Mississippi. The same place where A Time to Kill (1996) was filmed.
- GoofsWhen Denver drives Miss Debbie to the garden courtyard to have a starlight dance with her husband, how does Denver learn how to drive? It was said he didn't read, didn't have money to get a driver's license, nor have opportunity to take a driving test.
- Crazy creditsEpilogue: "Ron did finish that book with Denver right by his side. It actually went on to become a New York Times best seller. And if you're wondering about that torch...it Burns even brighter today. Over the next nine years, Ron and Denver traveled the country telling their story. So far, they have helped raise over 85 million dollars for the homeless. It's kind of incredible what a little love can do. Denver found his way home on March 31, 2012."

Featured review
Good movie, based on real people and their stories.
My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library.
This is based on real people and their stories. Dallas and Ft Worth area fine art dealer is Greg Kinnear as Ron Hall. He is somewhat happily married to Renée Zellweger as Debbie Hall. We find out somewhat early in this movie that he has been stepping out on her and he attributes that to their very cooled off relationship, having been married 19 years and now with two teenagers.
Debbie is persistent, she calls the woman and tells her she probably won't be seeing Ron anymore, she still loves him and is determined to get their relationship back to where it was.
She takes what at first seems to be a strange approach, she brings him to a rough part of town where many homeless hang out. She and he will help serve food to the homeless, something she has been doing unknown to him. Her strategy is, if her husband can reconnect with what is important in life, instead of business meeting after business meeting, they can get their spark back.
In the process they meet Djimon Hounsou as Denver, one of the homeless and also very angry. When he comes in with a baseball bat and starts smashing things. But Debbie is unafraid, she recognizes the man needs friendship. In the process we find out Denver's rough early life in Louisiana, and seven years at Angola for robber as a teenager, he grew up pretty much detesting white folks. But he gains redemption as well as Ron.
In a smaller but important role Jon Voight is really good as Earl, who is Ron's father but there is lots of friction. At the end of the movie during the credits we see photos of the actual Hall family as well as Denver.
