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
That this movie has not received the publicity and advanced advertising that it truly deserves is shameful -- the producers and production studio should be ashamed of themselves and they will reap their due reward from low attendance and most likely box office profit loss. This film definitely is worth its proverbial weight (cost) in gold. First and foremost is the plot itself, which propels the human instinct of avoidance of the uncomfortable, as with dirty homeless people, to a higher plane of reaching out, in caring rather than invasive ways, in order to actually help those less fortunate despite their social handicaps. That there is a Christian spirit about this movie is without doubt, but there is no specific religious dogma or theology. There is no "action", there is no graphic violence, there is no nudity, there is no profanity -- how completely refreshing in a movie. It is all character and dialog driven -- the acting is absolutely top notch, the dialog thoughtful and smart. The theme: reconciliation in all of our weakened or seemingly broken relationships if possible, with the onus being on ourselves to make the effort, in other words doing what we can to heal ourselves, and then being able to effectively, meaningfully reach out to and help those less fortunate, with respect rather than pity. This movie is a true treasure which, sadly I fear, will be missed by a very large audience due to lack of effective promotion.
