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

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

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.

It's a beautiful, delicately observed comedy.

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

| Nov 7, 2007

A wanly likable road-trip comedy-drama about a young man's Peter Pan-like refusal to let go of his childhood.

Obviously, Munro is reaching for something about how people allow themselves to get mired in the past. But his characters and situations are so exaggerated and dreary that his point gets quickly lost.
