It's so sincere and admirable that it seems churlish to voice objections, but the fact remains that it isn't very good. Go to Full Review

"Same Kind of Different as Me" is a strange, sincere and sometimes clumsy plea for old-fashioned Christian empathy. Go to Full Review
Bill Zwecker Chicago Sun-Times 10/21/2017
2.5/4
A film with a lovely, life-affirming, uplifting message - unfortunately delivered in such a heavy-handed, gooey-sweet manner that audiences will exit the theater in a near-diabetic coma. Go to Full Review

Same Kind of Different As Me is different than most of the movies at the box office right now, and worth seeing if you're looking for something to make you feel good about humanity in this utterly insane era. Go to Full Review

Marisha C Feb 17 This is a great movie you have to watch every second other wise you miss important moments actors were brilliant and played there parts to a Tee . See more Igor S 09/08/2024 Very emotional movie. It had some moments where the delivery could have been better, and it never really went too deep into some subjects, but it was a good watch and left me feeling good about mankind. We all know we need some of that these days. See more 02/19/2022 I thought it was one of the best movies I have seen ina long time!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 01/26/2022 This is a beautiful, uplifting, encouraging movie. It has made me want to reach out to others with more love and time and a listening ear. I don't understand why some reviewers are so cynical. There IS beauty in this world, and there IS kindness in this world. There ARE people of all races who reach out their hands to others of other colors and become friends. Watch this movie with an open heart and mind, and it will touch you. See more 11/23/2021 Simply, a lovely film. Well acted, well scripted. Touching. Sad. Wonderful. See more 11/18/2021 I loved it! I thought the story was very uplifting, except for the ending. Of course, it was a true story so it had to share that. The acting was terrific. The scenery was beautiful. The music was fitting. Everyone should see this movie. See more Read all reviews
