Melt with you7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() These set ups leave you to believe that there’s character development to come, but instead, the audience receives the inner workings of hazy glam rock fueled soundtrack with enough shaky handycam work it might make you want to vomit after 45 minutes into the viewing. Ron (Jeremy Piven) is a corrupt corporate greed money monger, who you find out is being investigated by the feds, and Tim (Christian McKay), possibly the most insightful man of the bunch (which isn’t saying much), is a sullen man who’s grieving for his dead boyfriend who died in an automobile accident. Jonathan (producer Rob Lowe) is a doctor and instead of saving lives he pushes pills to beautiful rich clients. Richard is a writer that threw his dreams to the side to go into a more practical field as an English teacher. The dizzying camera work by cinematographer Eric Schmidt makes you wish you were drunk as the story follows four men that get together every year for a week in ring leader Richard’s ( Hung’s Thomas Jane) home for drugs and other sordid illicit behavior.īefore the commiserating begins, you see a nice set up of the characters lives and how unfulfilled they are in every aspect. The title makes about as much sense as the film itself, which is advertised as a buddying thriller, but fails to capture the thriller genre, or any thrills at all. If you were ever curious as to what The Hangover would look like without an ounce of comedy applied, look no further than the most ludicrous release of 2012, I Melt With You. ![]()
