Very disappointed :(

Too much of everything

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

We are Kings doesn't always click, but when it does, it really does! Great music enhances this road trip thru blues country - and with a twist that is better left unmentioned here. Personally I am intrigued by sort of mythical deep south stories, and into road movies, and into blues, and into underdog stories -- so this is like a combination of elements that has a lot of pull for this viewer (and it is funny). The romanticism inherent in the idea of traveling into the deep south in a big motor-home with a bless "Yoda" -- and the perspective of aspiring musicians exploring this rich heritage and everything, and working against what are huge odds to connect with the music and an audience (stardom and fame???) -- well it's a pretty magnetic movie recipe. Performances by mainly "unknown" cast are surprisingly endearing and effective - again, my personal preference is often for non-movie star actors because they seem to carry so much extra baggage -- there can be a great feeling of discovery and realness in stories that use non- famous people.

You are in for a very pleasant surprise with We Are Kings. I was expecting the typical somber indie film. Instead this is a fun and funny trip down the Mississippi in a Winnebago with a genuine Blues legend and three extremely talented young musicians. Throw in a little fantasy element and you have a very entertaining time at the movies.I'm not normally a big blues fan, but the soundtrack in this film is terrific. And it's not just the blues. These people can rock out. Every song is original and catchy. And each one moves the story forward.Don't be fooled by the fact that these are not typical Hollywood actors. These actors are much better than that. They are the real thing. Led by a great performance from bluesman Sammy Blue.This film is a real sleeper you should try to see.

I enjoy watching this film because you find yourself really liking all the main characters & rooting for the gang as they come together! Even though its an Indy film, There is a realness to the look and an authenticity that's difficult to find on Blockbuster Films made only for the numbers (& not the musical ones). The movie is quite family friendly. There is some mild language and it moves through a few adult situations and hardship; but there is a positive beat, and messages of endurance and hope come through strong. With a steady pacing, you're going along for a ride on the Blues Bucket.The music is incredible & the actors are all legit musicians, I think they wrote almost all the songs too. This is the real deal, so worth checking out, giving a spin, or buying the whole bucket!

I'll start this off with a caveat... I'm not a fan of the blues. That being said, the music in this little indy film is charming, varied, and enjoyable. Something for everyone. My personal favorite is Bianca Ryan singing a soft and simple rendition of "Are you from Dixie?" - not at all like the strong belting blues she normally sings. Boogie Long is equally good and adds some rather incredible guitar licks to a respectable voice.However...The story and acting needed work. I'm sure some, if not all, of the actors are good at their craft, but their lines are wooden. The premise is similar to may others, and as it becomes a road movie, the only thing tying it all together is the breaks of musical interludes. I would guess that's what kept me watching. Start to finish, this could have been a much better. film, and is only saved by the music, which his actually pretty genuine. I know it's an indy, and with a minuscule budget, but it coulda been better. much better.
