Should You See 'I Melt with You'?

Should you see I Melt with You?  Yes, I know it's the question with every movie that comes out, but I believe this movie is different.  You should see this movie even if you think you'll hate it.  Not many movies now a days (or ever) stay with you after you see the movie.

The movie synopsis: Richard (Thomas Jane), Ron (Jeremy Piven), Jonathan (Rob Lowe) and Tim (Christian McKay) are old college buddies who gather for a week each year in Big Sur to celebrate Tim's birthday and catch up with each others lives.  On the surface, they look like typical men in their 40s, with careers, families and responsibilities.  But as with most people, there is more to them than meets the eye. As the week progresses, they go down the rabbit hole of excess: mountains of drugs are consumed to a blaring rock 'n' roll soundtrack, parties with much younger women spin out of control.  Exhausted and run ragged, they bare their souls and their reunion takes a much darker turn.  When a promise from their past is brought to light, none of their lives will ever be the same

Let's watch this Redband trailer.



Yeah, soak that in.  The first act feels like a reunion buddy party movie, but then it turns on you like a bad trip on mushrooms, and the third act OH MY ... just stick around for that and let me know what you think. This movie hits the mark where so many have missed so, so very badly.
