Movie Reviews of Full Frontal
Movie Review: Pretentious, Boring, Rudderless
Summary: 1 Stars
Apparently the script, sound equipment and several cameras were lost on the way to the set of this dull film.I imagine the director telling his actors: "More mumbling--more mumbling! I nearly understood some of the dialogue in the last take!" Then he turned to his cameraman and told him to slop another jar of vaseline on the lens.
I could put up with some of the pretentious art-school escapades of this movie if the story was worth following, but there IS no story. A bunch of LA people with direct and tangenital ties to the entertainment business wander along for two hours--that's the story. Woopee.
The one and only redeeming thing in this meandering piece of junk is the veterinarian who comes to check out David Hyde Pierce's sick dog and sticks around to eat hash brownies. I don't know who the actress is, but she is a breath of fresh air in the midst of this smelly waste of time.
Movie Review: This movie is awful, just awful
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a very bad movie. It was very disjointed, confusing, no story and in my opinion worthless. The movie was presented in a documentary style about making a movie. The acting was very poor and the script was awful. That is something that I don't say very often because I am the one that likes B movies. The only reason that I would have given this movie 2 stars would have been that David Duchovny was totally nude. Well, the scene was about 2 seconds long, blurry and shot at an angle that you knew that he had something between his legs, but you really couldn't see it well enough to say it was worth the movie price. Don't waste your time with this one, it isn't worth the plastic that it is packaged in.Movie Review: For students only.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the kind of thing they make film and acting students watch. The idea is to show how much you can accomplish on a shoestring, with the actors encouraged to improvise. Despite the emphasis on craft, the actors come across as playing themselves. David Duchovny is bored; Katherine Keener is beautiful but arrogant; Blair Underwood is just arrogant and so on.What this actually shows is how you can take some of the hottest actors in the world and make a self-absorbed and spectacularly dull movie. Woody Allen might have been able to breathe some life into this. Maybe.
How dull? I rented Full Frontal along with Jackass. Hard to say which was more painful.
Movie Review: Pretentious facade, nothing behind it but sheer stupidity
Summary: 1 Stars
This is what they must show in the Ninth Circle of Hell. The thing may appear deeply intellectual only to someone under 16, all those who have outgrown their pimples should know better. Bad acting abounds, with Blair Underwood being particularly unwatchable. Soderbergh is way overrated and has never been a favorite (O.K., videotape was fine, Traffic and Ocean's Eleven were adequate remakes of perfectly good originals, the rest is, hm...Lifetime quality), but Full Frontal is in another league...or circle.Movie Review: boring
Summary: 1 Stars
Interesting ideas regarding the movie's structure, some good acting, but ultimately - very VERY boring. The fact that the actors had to apply their make up themselves just doesnt make it worth seeing (unless you need some sleep). The actors seem to enjoy this, I guess because they had complete freedom . If you want to see a movie that was actually 'written' and 'directed' go somewhere else. Finally, to quote Barton Fink : this movie "...regresses to empty formalism".
