      Lorraine Eli was my favorite character! I think this movie would be perfect to show in high school students who may be experiencing the same thing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review Edward Great movie Very well thought out about not letting emotions get to you and to reach out for help Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review pablo e **A Heartwarming Cinematic Journey: "What Rhymes with Reason"** As a parent, it's a rare delight to find a family-friendly movie that not only entertains but also educates and uplifts. "What Rhymes with Reason" is one such gem that resonated deeply with both my daughter and me. This film tackles mental health gracefully and positively, making it a standout in its genre. The characters are the heart of this story, each meticulously crafted with layers that unfold beautifully on screen. Their well-defined differences and individual struggles are portrayed with such authenticity that you can't help but root for them. And yet, despite these differences, they discover a collective strength in their faith—a powerful message of unity and support. The soundtrack is another highlight, not just a background noise but a powerful tool that seamlessly blends with the narrative to enhance the film's emotional depth. It's no surprise that the songs found their way into my Spotify playlist almost immediately, as they continue to evoke the same emotions I felt during the movie. Visually, the movie is a feast for the eyes. The cinematography captures the essence of the story with every frame, making it a character in its own right. The after-credits section, a valuable educational addition, was particularly enlightening, offering a glimpse into the creative process and the real-life stories that inspired the film. It's a testament to the magic that can be achieved when art is pursued for passion rather than profit. In a world where cinema often chases after blockbuster thrills, "What Rhymes with Reason" is a refreshing reminder of the power of heartfelt storytelling. Here's to hoping that we see more of such inspiring films in the future. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Studio222 F Great family movie that shows the reality of how teens can overcome the hard things in life. Inspiring, entertaining, and recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Josh Terrible acting. Low budget and so cheesy!! This movie needs a *yawn* warning. It has lots of undertones of Christianity as well! I wish I had known that before renting this… I thought this would be a fun adolescence growth movie, like the Goonies! But this movie felt like a teen church youth group camping adventure. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Hilda A This movie, 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.
