    A few nice turns by Brawith as Saget aren’t enough to make The Unauthorized Full House Movie more than a connect-the-dots, dish-a-little-dirt, spoon-a-little-sugar, cut-print diversion. Still, it’s nowhere near a desecration, giving fans of the series a basically harmless glimpse at how the thing came together and somehow stayed together.

    The movie features plenty of the predictable near misses and fortuitous moments en route to 192 episodes and oodles of syndication cash..... Fortunately, the project delivers a slightly higher TV IQ than its predecessor, with a couple of reasonably funny (and historically accurate) bits.

    This wasn't the complete horror that most TV reviewers want you to think it is, the biggest problem might be a funding and schedule problem. IThis wasn't the complete horror that most TV reviewers want you to think it is, the biggest problem might be a funding and schedule problem. I don't think Lifetime has the pockets deep enough to produce this Unauthorized series also I think they wanted this out before Fuller House come to Netflix. This is reflected in the look of the movie and how the actors, well, acted. Nothing in this movie looks like it's supposed to take you back to the late 80s/early 90s. It's mainly the clothes that took me out of it, most of the clothing they were wearing looked no older than 2000, with the exception of a blue sweater Danny wears while talking to D.J. that looked 80s. The whole process of how they brought the show together also seemed rushed. We got how the guys were cast, we see Candice Cameron's audition and even how the Olsen twins were cast, but we don't see Jodie Sweetins. She's just put in the line up for the show. Maybe they had a scene for her and it was just cut or maybe her audition was just too boring. Time flys too as they go through the show's run. We never really see any kind of real conflicts within the show, the whole thing of Stamos wanting to oust the twins takes all of 3 minutes. We get a glimpse into the actors personal lives, but it's nothing really seedy, just average life stuff. If you're expecting to hear really horrible things you might have to look elsewhere. The cast of Full House seems as squeaky clean as their TV counterparts, there wasn't really anything over the top. I will say though, if Lifetime wants this to be a movie series they've gotta pump more money and time into each project. If they do they might have a series worth checking out all the time.… Full Review »
