What Rhymes with Reason

Every once and awhile a movie comes long that is real, honest, touching and relevant. This is one of those movies. And yet, sprinkled in with just the right amount of humor to keep it real.

If you know anyone dealing with Anger, Anxiety , Depression then this is a movie that touches on all of those emotions, yet does it very delicately, with a message of hope!

A little bit Goonies. A little bit Stand By Me, A little bit Breakfast Club. And yet, a movie that stands all on its own.

Riveting, entertaining, and family friendly.

Highly recommend for all to see. Watch with a friend, you just might make someone's day.

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.

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.

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.
