Same Kind of Different as Me 2017

I'm a fan of Christian entertainment, including cinema; I'd been meaning to see this for a while, especially since it had former Disney Channel star Olivia Holt (Kickin' It, I Didn't Do It) as one of its stars. Ms. Holt didn't get all that much screen time, but, at the end of the movie, I didn't care; this story is way more important than who starred in it. A superbly inspirational account of overcoming race and income barriers, as well as an Apostle-Paul-style tale of reformation, all the more amazing because it's true. Unless you've read the book and know the story already--or even if it's been a while since you have--prepare to be inspired.

Sentimental to be sure, but as a testament to the power of God's grace, this is a film well worth seeing - believer or unbeliever.

If you were to heed one message from the film, then it's this: there by the grace of God go all of us. Think of that the next time you find yourself judging another.
