    The movie overall didn't come correct.

    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.

    Riveting, entertaining, family friendly

    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.

    Best movie ever set in Oklahoma! (But it's truly great!)

    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.

    The issues depicted in the movie feel watered down

    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.

    New Age Adventure meets Realistic Struggles

    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.
