Even though I had heard bad things about it, and most people wouldn't even bother with it, I was extremely excited to see I Melt with You. The trailer really piqued my interest. I actually have a penchant for watching masculine movies where all they do is get drunk and high. The thing with I Melt with You is that it looked like an indie/arthouse film - not the best example of that genre, but exactly the kind that I'd like. The excitement that I had at the start turned into frustration, which in the end turned into intense anger. And I've been unable to shake that intense anger for the past couple of days.
Now, I'm going to discuss some important plot points in this one, so steer clear if you hold some interest in seeing the film. Chances are, you never heard of it until I brought it up. I need to vent about this film, so read at your own risk - but I doubt any of you are amping to see it (and there may be a bit of cursing. It is a movie that demands it).
