I Melt with You

Wow how this passed me by I don't know ! super cast, acting, cinematography and soundtrack was pretty good too. A dark drug fueled impressive movie hitting on middle age regret, a must for generation X

This movie reminded me of my life. And it scared me. This will not be for everyone. If you've lived through a "drug era" with a group of good guy friends (who you've stayed close to most of your life). The film may be for you. If you like films that kind of make you ponder about the dark side of life in general this also may be for you. Hope this review helps someone; I wouldn't take the horrible scores from IMDB and rotten tomatoes seriously. Great actors, amazing acting, plot that moves you and can reflect the lives of others, and has a good soundtrack... this film won't be for people that like dramas with a little more meat, (which this film kind of lacks).. however, with the money they spent to make this film the director and actors did a great job. Kudos.

Hard to know what to make of this. It's an extreme drama concerning a foursome of 40 year olds, who have one last, insane reunion. The greatest collection of punk rock tunes (as the soundtrack) overpowers some of the dialog but compliments the heavy, drug induced scenes. One that needs attention and then to re-visit at a later date. Middle life crisis has just become, all out crazy!

I watched this movie the other night and I found it to be pretty good. It was not your average movie so Im thinking thats why it got such low reviews. People go into it thinking its a Hollywood blockbuster and their surprised by the indy film feel to it.

This is about 4 lifelong friends who meet up and spend a week together just like they do every year. They get a ton of alcohol and a ton of drugs and party hard for a week. Life is all good for the first couple days but a tragic loss shakes everything up and they all go in a downward spiral.

I thought this movie was intense. It was entertaining, funny and sad. It was an emotional ride of a movie and I suggest everyone watch it.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the target market for this movie is over 40 and male (I might throw 'white' in there as well but I'm not sure about that). If you don't fall into this demographic you probably are not going to dig this movie. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing tho- people make movies for certain audiences all the time.

I don't usually write reviews but I felt like there was too much hate for this movie out there. It tells a story, the acting is good, the movie making is good, there are a few parts that are not completely clear- I'm not sure if that is writing or editing or directing.

Depending on how you look at the movie you might consider it a psych study on a group dynamic amongst males over time. You might see some of yourself in the characters- and you might not. if you don't, the movie might seem awfully self indulgent. If you do, the movie becomes a warning or a dark fantasy or something else. Definitely not boring tho and definitely not a "chick flick".
