An entertaining, often amusing exercise made to look more artistic and intellectual than it really is.

Reviews for Full Frontal
Despite the provocative title, Steven Soderbergh's $2 million spiritual follow-up to Sex, Lies, and Videotape falls short of arousing much of anything.

Often likable, but just as often it's meandering, low on energy, and too eager to be quirky at moments when a little old-fashioned storytelling would come in handy.
08/02/02
Like the calculatingly misleading title and most of Full Frontal, it's little more than a tease, a private joke by a director winging it between more important jobs.
08/02/02
Top CriticBoasting a title saturated in irony, Full Frontal is about as oblique as a picture gets.
08/02/02
A film so amateurish that only the professionalism of some of the actors makes it watchable.
08/02/02
Top CriticThe whole thing feels like a ruse, a tactic to cover up the fact that the picture is constructed around a core of flimsy -- or, worse yet, nonexistent -- ideas.
08/02/02
Top CriticFull Frontal is the antidote for Soderbergh fans who think he's gone too commercial since his two Oscar nominated films in 2000
08/02/02
For every inspired bit of absurdity, there's a lame piece of improvisational noodling.
08/02/02
Steven Soderbergh's digital video experiment is a clever and cutting, quick and dirty look at modern living and movie life.
08/02/02
I like it. No, I hate it. No, I love it...hell, I dunno.
08/02/02
Nothing more than Steven Soderbergh's latest self-indulgent gift to himself (it should be returned).
08/02/02
I don't know precisely what to make of Steven Soderbergh's Full Frontal, though that didn't stop me from enjoying much of it.
08/01/02
The cast feels adrift in a sea of improvisation, while the camera pretends an intimacy that is only fitfully rewarded with anything resembling sincerity.
08/01/02
So claustrophobically masturbatory that it becomes something only an avowed art film crowd can possibly embrace.
08/01/02
My feeling about Full Frontal is that I would rather have been told about it than seen it.
