4/5

A film that resembles the American Pie franchise as reimagined by conceptual artist Matthew Barney.

Very individual work, as creepy as a ghost story.

"Ham on Rye" exists behind glass, but it isn't cutely coy. There's something angry about it and hard to parse.

3.5/5

Ham on Rye takes a genre as old as time and adds a new and unique direction to it, marking director Tyler Taormina as one to watch.

[For] Ham on Rye ... narrative is deliberately sidelined from the get-go, abstracted in order to focus on an adolescent milieu at once brazenly generic and poignantly specific.

3.5/5

Seamlessly weaving a satire on intergenerational high school comedies and suburban rules, Taormina's film is about one fateful day in the life of teenagers in a small community.

A really long, bad student film. This has to be one of the most confoundingly overrated movies ever made.

Wait! What? I just knew the Rotten Tomato critics would rate this close to 100%! It's just a series of pointless and disconnected vignettes. The film goes nowhere, but not in a hurry. It's so slow paced it makes you want to scream! Nothing to see here! Watch it only if you have an hour and a half to kill. A bit like watching paint dry. Although I suspect that would be more interesting than watching this film to its conclusion.

A mostly dialogue-free bore that could have been made by just about any film student and virtually nobody would notice. This is junk disguised as art. At 85 minutes, if felt like 4 hours!! A colossal slog with zero payoff. I haven't seen a movie this bad in a VERY long time! Final Score: 0/10
