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.

This movie took the subjects of anxiety, depression and suicide and approached them in a way that teens can relate. There was a positive message about seeking help for any kind of issue and not being ashamed about it. Each character was dealing with their own feelings and mental issues that were caused by situations that were unique for them. Their friends helped them to confront those situations and emotions in positive ways after they finally opened up about what was actually going on in the minds and hearts. It also showed that not everything we see on the outside of a person lets us know what is going on inside. Overall this movie had some great moments of laughter, heartache, and perseverance.

This movie touched on what many of us go through in life, especially something teenagers and young adults face, often in silence. Not only was the movie inspiring and encouraging around a tough topic, but also gave clear and practical examples on how we should walk thru tough times! And ultimately, it was really fun to watch, and often had me on the edge of my seat!

If you have a youth group, mentor young adults, or have teenage children, this is definitely a film worth watching with them! It will help open the door for conversation and hopefully cultivate a deeper relationship with your teens!

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!
