Emerging Pictures | Release Date: June 25, 2008

Summary: Set in a stylized yet familiar landscape of Americana, Munro’s whimsical cautionary tale follows Alby Cutrera, a 35-year-old husband and father who longs for the days of his carefree boyhood when his only occupation was playing with his action figures. Desperate to escape the confines of adulthood and return to his halcyon days, Alby tracksSet in a stylized yet familiar landscape of Americana, Munro’s whimsical cautionary tale follows Alby Cutrera, a 35-year-old husband and father who longs for the days of his carefree boyhood when his only occupation was playing with his action figures. Desperate to escape the confines of adulthood and return to his halcyon days, Alby tracks down his childhood whipping boy Elias, who now teaches at a special needs school, and persuades him to take a road trip to Diggityland – their favorite childhood theme park. As the dynamic duo motor along Florida’s tatty Orange Blossom Highway, they encounter a cast of tragicomic creatures, including an AWOL ex-theme park employee turned commando hitchhiker, an oversexed bartending clown-in-training, and a trailer-dwelling delusional mermaid . Calamity and mayhem ensue as Alby and Elias’ sentimental trip down memory lane becomes an unsolicited lesson in the perils of living in the past. (Emerging Pictures)… Expand

Mick LaSalle

A poignant, quirky and effective alternative to the usual soulless, computer-generated summer fare. Read full review

F. X. Feeney

Lyrical and funny, Full Grown Men is a tough-minded film about the need to grow up. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

It's dramatically unsatisfying. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

Full Grown Men marks the feature debut of director David Munro, who was born and raised in Miami and shoots Florida like a native. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

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. Read full review

Ed Gonzalez

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. Read full review

Stephen Holden

This candy-colored movie, whose soft hues match the colored cereal loops that Alby devours at his mother's house, is a post-Freudian fable that wants to be a kind of anti-"Wizard of Oz" for a culture inundated with toys and toons. Read full review

Cute movie. Kind of like Sideways. I love the actors and it's great for what it's trying to be.

It is probably not fair of me to vote on this one, since I wanted to turn it off before the credits ended. It was obvious the main character was intolerable and uninteresting and unbelievable from the get-go. It only got worse from there.
