I have a Pureflix account, and sometimes I will just go in and watch something when I want to have something inspiring to help lift my spirits, or to get me in the right frame of mind. This one happened to be in the "featured" section, so I clicked. I had no idea what it was going to be about, but I had seen the main actor in another film that I enjoyed. Well, from the moment this one started, the content of it shocked me so much I started giggling and I kept laughing through most of the film. And then it got to the God moment, and it was exactly what I had clicked on the film for in the first place. Even if you're not a Christian, I'd say at least start this movie. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly entertained! Normally I wouldn't rate a low budget film as highly as I rated this one, but because I giggled so much, I thought that in itself warranted a 10!

Shocked into laughter!
Funny, Inspirational, Entertaining
I thought Love Different was above average for a low-budget Christian film. Anthony Hackett showed an acting range beyond his intensity in Crisis Call, and I'm going to check out his other films. He also gets my thumbs up for directing.
The premise that a white girl lands in black workplace and needs culture training is believable and opens doors for the main characters to explore faith and the human condition through race and family. The people and situations they encounter are varied and fun, and they help drive the plot. Many scenes are stereotypical, but that's anticipated in a race-exploring film, and there's enough depth in the characters' lives with her undisciplined son and his stagnant marriage to balance out the thinner elements.
There are some scenes where actors seek humor by pushing a situation beyond their skills, but that's excusable in a low-budget exercise. I found the ending satisfying, and I recommend seeing the whole movie to judge for yourself. I'd call it about a 6.5 film overall versus 8-9 big-budget blockbusters, then I add the extra points for the crucial reminder to think in terms of higher powers.
Very Interesting.
Not a movie with a traditional plot line, but really interesting nonetheless. I swear the white girl in the movie is based on my friend Tiffany. They really got the "white girl" stereotype right. I'm really wondering if the "black hey circle" is a thing. It was so funny though. Worth the watch. The wife was so beautiful. I loved the rawness, tattoos weren't removed. Goofiness was honest. I wish more movies were like this in the way that it was authentic. The movie was so positive and I enjoyed it. I wish churches would attack this issue by watching this movie. The main guys's character was witty and the main girl was a great actress for the part.
