14 Upcoming Movies That Will Definitely Make You Cry

4. Same Kind Of Different As Me

Same Kind of Different As Me
Paramount Pictures

Release Date: October 20

The Plot: Art dealer Ron Hall (Greg Kinnear) becomes friends with a violent homeless man, Denver Moore (Djimon Hounsou), who his wife Deborah (Renee Zellweger) has seen in her dreams. Denver's involvement in their life will ultimately bring the Halls, who are going through marital difficulties, close together once again.

Why You'll Cry: Get over the fact that Renee Zellweger looks virtually unrecognisable in this movie, and this is an adaptation of a profoundly moving New York Times bestseller, so has easy potential to get the tears flowing.

Yes, there are those who view the the 2006 novel as a "white saviour" story, but if the film can focus on the humanity of its uplifting tale, then it should still end up an affecting testament to enduring friendship across a huge cultural chasm.
