I caught this movie at the Crest in Westwood on Thursday. I like finding small indies to check out so I usually try and hit up the Crest a couple times a month.

I like finding small indies to check out so I usually try and hit up the Crest a couple times a month. Going in to it I didn't really know anything about the film so I didn't have any expectations and was pleasantly surprised. WHEELS tells the story of two paraplegic, homeless drug addicts and the craziness they get up to all around LA. It sounds kind of depressing, and don't get me wrong, it's definitely on the deeper/serious side, but there's some dark humor that keeps it funny and the friendship between the two main guys is a really touching aspect of the film. Layers are revealed in flashbacks so you learn how the two got to where they are and there's some pretty crazy shockers. There was a Q & A with the filmmakers after the show and when you hear what these guys went through to get this film made, it's the kind of indie story that I love to hear about. True passion for filmmaking! The movie is shot beautifully, the cinematography is gorgeous and looks really expensive so I was shocked to hear them talk about how they made the movie on a nonexistent budget. Overall, a beautiful, heartfelt story, well-done film, definitely different than anything the major studios pump out. The cast is all unknowns but the acting was quite good. I would highly recommend WHEELS if you like indie films and enjoy watching true storytelling.… Expand

The story was well written and the direction was very well executed. The acting was great overall. The actors portraying the 2 main characters were simply superb and both worked together wonderfully. You could really feel their friendship connect and grow stronger throughout the film, not just because of their similar disabilities but more on the level of the pain and suffering both physically and mentally which they both have fallen victims to throughout their lives. "Wheels" certainly played with my emotions. Whether it be from its originally recorded soundtrack which was extremely well executed throughout the film, it had me in a state of indignation, it had me laughing and crying and that overall feeling of anticipation which few films are able to accomplish. Overall I thoroughly recommend checking this film out. Especially considering well written films which have true meaning are few and far between nowadays.… Expand

Awesome movie! Very few movies portray friendship and brotherhood as endearing as Wheels. But, what makes this movies so amazing is the way it addresses such dark subjects as suicide, drug use, and homelessness with such grace and dignity and even lightening it up with humor.

After reading about it and watching clips and stuff, I was sold. Saw it yesterday at The Crest in Westwood. Honestly, I was expecting a film of questionable production quality. What I saw was the complete opposite. It was very well done and thoroughly entertaining. It was also surprisingly hilarious despite the serious subject matter. I love it when a movie can do that. Good stuff.

Basically: Go see it. It's a great indie flick and deserves the support. Heck, I might go see it again for good measure.… Expand

Gee, six user reviews, all 10s and all saying pretty much the same thing, often in nearly the same words! Not living in Westwood, I can't visit the Crest to see if it's indeed (1) packed and (2) showing the best film EVER, according to Metacritic's user rankings.

Not living in Westwood, I can't visit the Crest to see if it's indeed (1) packed and (2) showing the best film EVER, according to Metacritic's user rankings. What any non-moron can see is that one person wrote all six reviews, which is actually kind of an insult--both to "Wheels" and to the users who post their (usually) well-considered judgments here. So my zero is for cynically using Metacritic to promote a film.… Expand
