What to Know

Critics Consensus

Presenting itself as profound while relying entirely on shock factor, I Melt With You subjects its audience to a misanthropic marathon of bad behavior that's about as fun as a mid-life crisis.

Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle It really is good, albeit in ways that are different from other movies. Rated: 3/4 Dec 22, 2011 Full Review Perri Nemiroff Shockya.com Picture the anti-drug egg commercial from the 80s. "This is your brain. This is 'I Melt With You.' This is your brain on 'I Melt With You.'" Get it? Rated: 2/5 Dec 10, 2011 Full Review Jason Bailey DVDTalk.com Rated: 2/5 Dec 9, 2011 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Wow!! These guys make Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas look like child's play... But then you look below the surface, you realize that from the opening frame, there is more here than meets the eye. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com An emotionally draining yet compellingly vivid drama about the death of dreams. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 28, 2019 Full Review Karen Benardello We Got This Covered Director Mark Pellington creates complex characters in his new thriller I Melt With You, but unfortunately fails to deliver a realistic, intriguing story.

Sean M Just a terrible movie. Nothing good about it. Depressing and the story was just bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/23 Full Review KEVIN C Dark film about four old college friends who get together for their annual reunion to indulge in a drug and alcohol fueled weekend that quickly goes out of control. Interesting film about friendship, promises and pain. Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven and Christian McKay play the friends. Pretty well acted and goes to an uncomfortable place as things deteriorate. Certainly not a fun film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I Melt With You is a film about 4 pals who middle aged and they all graduated form college together. These men are played by Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven and Christian Mckay. Pretty stacked cast there so anyways they get together to celebrate a birthday of Timothy played by Christian Mckay. Then an hour in it suddenly becomes a dramatic thriller about a pact these men made and I'm trying really hard not to spoil this film. What I can say is this is one of the worst movies ever made. The acting is pretty good it's the main reason i'm giving it a star. Without these actors this movie would be unwatchable. Even with these actors the movie is practically unwatchable. It's shot like a really terrible music video and this movie is over 2 hours long and at least half of this movie's shots of like an hourglass with the sand draining or waves crashing on a beach or birds sitting on a porch could all be cut for actually plot progression but who needs that when your plot just revolves around four of the worst characters I've ever seen who have the worst written conversations I've seen on film and a twist so unbelievable that it essentially kills this movie. Yeah don't watch this movie. Time is precious and this film will waste two hours of your life if you watch it. So do yourself a favor and skip it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Too slow and dragged out to make sense, though there are shades of a good storyline and concept, though hidden under weaker narration.. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member hard to catch on but omg excellent. everyone watch this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Uncomfortable that gets under your skin flick of adrenaline, if you like these senses than by all means watch it. The madness of drugs in all its glory. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
