Ron Hall (Greg Kinnear) lost track of what matters most in life. It took an affair, a confession, a dream and an unlikely friendship with a homeless man to help him remember. From the outside, Ron Hall's seemingly charmed life looked pretty perfect: He had a flourishing art business, a beautiful wife, Debbie (Renée Zellweger), two fine teen children, and an amazing fifteen thousand square foot house in Fort Worth, Texas. But appearances can be deceptive.

Filmed in Canton, Mississippi. The same place where A Time to Kill (1996) was filmed.

Goofs
When 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.

Quotes
Denver: Whether we're rich or poor, or somewhere in between, we're all homeless, just working our way back home.

Crazy credits
Epilogue: "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."

Top review

A very touching film

This film tells the story of a wealthy couple who drifted apart. They become closer together by helping in a homeless shelter, and in the process they deeply touch other people's hearts.

I haven't imagined how touching this film can be. I thought it was a forgettable romantic comedy, but it turns out to be a very emotional and touching drama about how to love one another. All we have to do is to reach out to people in need, listen to the person and he genuinely there to love and care. I find this film very touching.
