This very grown-up comedy about men who find it hard to put away their toys is enhanced by a soulfully comic performance from the still underrated Matt McGrath.

Witty, wise and wacky!!

Full Grown Men might work better if the audience was given a reason to feel even a small sliver of sympathy for Alby

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 27, 2009

Peter Pan syndrome is a tremendously interesting psychological condition, but Men would rather make tiresome action figure jokes and spotlight whining characters. Blah.

| Original Score: D | Sep 17, 2009

Full Grown Men doesn't even make childhood seem like all that much fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 1, 2008

Full Grown Men is an artistically integrated film that introduces a refreshing new talent to the independent scene, one who combines the visual palette of filmmaker Harmony Korine with an all-important sense of narrative.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 25, 2008

Hasn't got a joke worth laughing over.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 27, 2008

Friedlander offers a nicely subtle performance, but the other actors -- including Alan Cumming, Deborah Harry and Amy Sedaris -- appear to have turned up as a favor to the director. Don't feel obliged to follow their lead.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 27, 2008

Full Grown Men often becomes as intolerably silly as the twee Amerindies it's reacting to.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Jun 26, 2008

Wears a bit thin even at its brief length.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Jun 26, 2008

It's dramatically unsatisfying.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 25, 2008

Full Grown Men is nicely photographed and has impressive sets; too bad there's so little going on that it seems long even at 78 minutes.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 25, 2008

The world is uncomfortably perfect, and sparkly wide shots of stretches of landscape across which Alby walks reduce him to the lost little boy he insists on remaining, swallowed by the big bad world.

The candy-colored Full Grown Men wants to be a kind of anti-Wizard of Oz for a culture inundated with toys and toons.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 25, 2008

For better and for worse (at least for a story about a man struggling to behave like an adult), Full Grown Men feels and thinks with the heart and mind of a child.

Full Review | Jun 25, 2008

It's a beautiful, delicately observed comedy.

| Jun 23, 2008

This whimsically crafted tale that manages to be simultaneously silly, surreal and wise beyond years, is a combo memory lane, reverse time travel road movie and thirtysomething boy bonding satire, plus flaky storytelling in the extreme.

As an audience member, you want to like your lead, or at least find something redeeming in him.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 24, 2007

Lyrical and funny, Full Grown Men is a tough-minded film about the need to grow up.

Full Review | Nov 7, 2007

Full Grown Men is a lovely, bewitching film with a lot on its mind.
