Directed by Mark Pellington, I Melt With You stars Carla Gugino, Rob Lowe, Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven, Sasha Grey, Arielle Kebbel, Tom Bower and Christian McKay.
Four friends gather every year to celebrate their friendship. This year they are unexpectedly forced to confront a forgotten promise they made 25 years earlier. As they examine choices they’ve made, they realize that what they said they would do with their lives and what they have done are entirely different.
The film will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival later today.
I saw this movie yesterday at Sundance. It ran like a 2 hour music video. I’m a fan of Rob Lowe and Thomas Jane and I believed they pulled a rabbit out of a hat for this one. It’s largely unrelateable and incredibly self indulgent but it’s also pretty entertaining and the twist in the story is unexpected and makes the film worth watching.
