What Rhymes with Reason

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 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, 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.

Yo, this movie tried to get real about teen struggles but gotta keep it a hundred - it ain't hitting the mark. The whole movie was all kinda weak, not even close to what we expect. They tried to drop a positive message about seeking help without frontin', but the whole vibe was off.

They had their own drama, but the way they handled feelings and mental stuff was low-key lacking. The friends helping out felt forced, like they were just throwin' it in. The movie overall didn't come correct. It just didn't live up to the hype, straight up. I recommend you don't waste your time with this one peeps.

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!
