The film doesn’t function as a remotely competent representation of its namesake show. We never discover anything about Full House that can’t be found on its Wikipedia page, and the performances, with the exception of Gaston and Mader, fail to capture the essence of the memorable--albeit one-note--characters and the actors who portrayed them.
-
Writer Ron McGee treats Full House as though it was a sacred icon whose pop-culture history must be maintained at all costs--in this case, the costs being believability and narrative momentum.
-
Tedious.... It’s more skin-deep fan-fiction that imitates the sickly decency that was Full House’s stock-in-trade.
-
Unauthorized captures the feel-good part. Unfortunately, it misses the “written well” part. Like, completely.
-
The bar for quality is set pretty low. But this entry, unlike the previous “Save by the Bell” exposé, does nothing to justify its own existence.
