What Rhymes with Reason

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.

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.

I had the opportunity to see this film on October 10th for its one-day release and I was captivated by the storyline as it made me laugh and cry. Filmed on location across Oklahoma, the film does not just tell a story; it initiates a conversation, mixing threads of adventure, authenticity, and real-life issues that plague our society, notably among young adults. A journey through depression, suicide, and the monumental task of finding one's place in the world, making it not only a movie but a message. The movie deserves to be seen on more screens, provoking thought, dialogue, and, helping to make a perspective change about mental health especially among families with teens and young adults.

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.

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!
