Film Review: What Rhymes With Reason

I am thankful and excited for this new family-friendly film, What Rhymes with Reason, which addresses the important & sensitive issue of mental health among teens and young adults. The statistics of young people around the world (not just in the US) struggling with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts is truly alarming. What Rhymes with Reason is an adventure-drama story of six teens (four male and two female) navigating through the wilderness and their own darkness in order to find a legendary landmark and hope. It tackles some tough topics such as fear, anger, grief, pressure (from parents, peers, social media, etc.), identity, self-worth, unrealistic expectation, life's purpose, life's burdens, and more. It is also a beautiful story of friendship, reminding us all that we need each other, and we are better together. "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2) We Christians are to love one another and carry one another's burdens.

I enjoyed the movie and wished it continued longer. The cast did a wonderful job and seemed to have good chemistry. I like movies with clues or riddles to solve. What Rhymes with Reason has the vibes of The Goonies and National Treasure. It is not just entertaining but also inspiring. It's cleverly crafted to remove the stigma around mental health and encourage teens and young adults to boldly and unashamedly talk about faith and their inner struggles. Darkness, doubts, and discouragement may be part of us, but they don't define us.

This movie is a great resource for parents, teachers, youth pastors, and those who work with teens. You should watch this movie with your teen if you have one. It will open up great conversation. The film partners with 988 Mental Health Lifeline which operates everyday 24/7. What Rhymes with Reason is rated PG-13 for thematic material involving mental health and brief violence. It is now available in digital HD and DVD. You can rent for $4.99 or purchase for $12.99 here.  

Fun Fact: The film's producer also worked on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie.

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo
