If Ocean's Eleven was a high-priced banquet of popular guys toasting one another's hard-earned coolness in a pointless caper, Full Frontal is the after-party.

Reviews for Full Frontal
Top CriticEven those who are used to art house films will likely be underwhelmed by the bareness of Full Frontal's menu.
08/01/02
Top CriticChaotic, self-indulgent and remarkably ugly to look at, it's...like a series of pretentiously awful student films strung together into one feature-length horror.
07/31/02
One of the worst movies of the year. ... Watching it was painful.
07/31/02
Full Frontal is based around a device that just doesn’t work.... pretentious ... with few rewards.
07/31/02
Fraught with character confusion, but ultimately worth the effort.
07/31/02
Unlike Magnolia or Mulholland Drive, it doesn't offer an audience much incentive to tease out its ambiguities.
07/30/02
Top CriticThis was so dreadful I prayed my fellow critics would start talking through the screening.
07/29/02
Fails to cohere on a thematic level, but restless formal experimentation doesn't get much more accessible and entertaining.
07/29/02
Altman plowed this ground in movies like Nashville and A Wedding, and Soderbergh spices it with the playful postmodernism of an A-List director who has the confidence to try anything once.
07/29/02
Full Frontal is the kind of unplanned, meandering film that any aspiring filmmaker could make, but that only a big-name director could easily get distributed.
07/29/02
Is it a total success? No. Is it something any true film addict will want to check out? You bet.
07/25/02
Top CriticThe whole movie is a riff on movie reality and unreality. Nothing is truly new here, though.
07/25/02
Top CriticA sometimes realistically and other times unrealistically portrayed group of mostly unlikeable men and women undergoing an identity or 'middle-age' crisis.
