What Rhymes with Reason

From the moment the movie started, I was drawn in-the characters, the scenery, the music, mention of God and faith, humor and a touch of romance. The acting was exceptional. The scenery was beautiful (Oklahoma, you surprise us!). The story was well planned out and flowed perfectly with the actors, the conversations about mental health and the story line.

The story line may focus on the younger generation but all generations will highly enjoyed it, as I did. Mental health (depression, anxiety, anger issues, suicide, etc.) are honestly addressed, bonding relationships (with young and old), real, raw life situations, outstanding views and adventurous discoveries.

This movie is a keeper! I would watch it again and again. Definitely need it on DVD or You Tube. A high five to all involved in this movie and all solid stars! You guys did a great job and produced a film people need to see!

This movie attempted to address teen struggles with anxiety, depression, and suicide, but unfortunately, it fell short in various aspects. The acting, writing, and production quality were below par, not meeting the usual standards. Despite the attempt to convey a positive message about seeking help without shame, the execution lacked impact. Each character dealt with unique challenges, but the portrayal of their feelings and mental issues felt lacking. The friends' involvement in helping them was somewhat forced, and the film failed to engage the audience effectively. While it touched on the idea that appearances can be deceiving, the overall quality of the movie didn't quite deliver. Despite some moments of laughter, heartache, and perseverance, the film as a whole didn't live up to expectations.

Even as a Christian, I've never laughed (and cried) so much in a faith-based movie...because they're by-and-large terrible (besides maybe VeggieTales).

Pleasantly surprising, genuine, and heart-wrenching performances across the board. There's a long take monologue that had me in tears. Although there's a moment that a character literally throws a Bible- the film never beats you over the head with it. It's an authentic look at Christianity that doesn't give you all the answers. There are definitely some beautiful moments for the believers in the audience, but the majority of the movie is accessible and can be appreciated by believers and non-believers alike. The humor is sharp and the dialogue is current and raw while still being family-friendly.

Sure it's got some limitations as an indie film, but it has what most indie films don't: purpose, heart, and hope. Layer on top of that a great synth-y soundtrack, striking landscapes, and a cast with great chemistry, and I can't recommend WRWR enough.

This film speaks to the millions of teens seeking affirmation from today's destructive social media universe. Through the creative storytelling of Kyle and Sean, WRWR captures the audience through raw emotion and serious issues constantly faced by adolescents. Go on the 2hr adventure with the talented cast and learn each and every challenge they face to ultimately serve witness as mental health advocates for all age groups. We all struggle, we all hurt. But no one has to struggle and hurt alone. There are resources and people that care who are willing to go beyond the standard expectation. Have hope.

This film, an evidently low-budget attempt at a contemporary spin on The Breakfast Club, falls short in capturing the essence of its inspiration. The dialogue and acting come across as contrived, lacking the authenticity needed to resonate with viewers. The issues depicted in the movie feel watered down and fail to reflect the complexities of real-life challenges faced by young individuals. In my sincere assessment, it seems like a production crafted by a group of church members, possibly from the youth group. If you have a penchant for such movies, you might find "What Rhymes with Reason" more to your liking. However, I wouldn't recommend subjecting today's teens to this film, as they are likely to critique it harshly and dissect its shortcomings.
