Situations can be revealing, and almost always intriguing, in the hands of this talented cast.

Reviews for Full Frontal
Full Frontal is like the 'Special Features' disc of the DVD without the original movie.
08/05/02
Gives a bad name to 'art' 'movies' everywhere.
08/04/02
Maybe it’s the star power of the cast or the redundant messages, but something aboul “Full Frontal” seems, well, contrived.
08/04/02
It's as difficult to imagine someone who will find nothing to like in Full Frontal as it is to conceive of someone who can embrace everything it offers.

will be far more interesting to the Soderbergh faithful than it will be to the casual moviegoer who might be lured in by Julia Roberts...

Penetratingly draws us in to this passing snapshot of just a few of the many unsatisfying lives in Tinseltown.

Even Steven Soderberg describes this as a sketch, an experiment, an exercise, so when one character sighs, "I want this day to be over," I found myself nodding in agreement.

When improv is done well, it sheds a unique light on the human condition. When it is done adequately, as it is in Full Frontal, it simply makes you long for a good script and pricey production values.

For every moment of character revelation or wit, there are two more that don't pay off. Much of this seems like sketches for a more thought-out movie.

...most satisfying of all is realizing (Soderbergh) has a sense of humor about himself and knows this movie will be loved by some and loathed by others.
08/02/02
It's definitely not a film for everyone but a breath of fresh air for those looking for something other than big studio films.
08/02/02
A movie that's much more interesting to read about, and speculate about, than to actually see.
08/02/02
I saw Full Frontal twice, looking for answers. I didn’t really find any. I didn’t find any great questions either.
08/02/02
A movie whose ultimate point is precisely nothing.
08/02/02
Adds up to less than its admittedly entertaining parts.
08/02/02
See this movie for its humor and talented cast and you won't be disappointed.
08/02/02
Though some individual scenes crackle, overall the film feels unfocussed and flabby, like a series of acting improv exercises strung together.
