hero-11 We Are Kings is proof that budget is not what makes a great movie. This Indie film hits every note perfectly, from the uplifting story, interesting characters, heartbreak, humor, struggle, success, excellent acting, great music, beautiful cinematography -- to a funky old bus called the Blues Bucket.This is a story for all generations and makes a great family film to be watched many times over.The actors as musicians are the real deal -- multi-talented genuine musicians with heart and soul -- and you can tell!!! I'm not typically a fan of musicals but this film completely won me over, no small thing!!! Writer, Director Toby Hubner deserves high praise indeed, as does his cast and crew, for creating such a wonderful gift of a film. Kudos indeed!!!

John Truby 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.

josh-78-698704 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!

Janet Laylor 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.
