    Funny but uneven film. There are great scenes and scenes that go nowhere.
  • September 1, 2008
    Ugh...so annoying/boring. I was more entertained by the special features. Btw, the cast credits are misleading....David Duchovony only has one scene.

    An odd experiment that doesn't go anywhere.
  • September 8, 2009
    Bizarre and unrewarding. Talented cast though.

    Much like "The Rules of Attraction" Full Frontal was a film I remember being praised as the end all be all of movies, even before it's release. Both Failed so miserably that I know some critics lost their jobs or had to re-think how they review movies, mainly movies they haven't ...( read more)seen yet.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Those who enjoy experiment may be happy here -- director Steven Soderbergh, even at his most mystifying, is rarely dull, some of the performances are terrific, and the movie's likely to fuel some intr... full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Think of the picture as 107 entertaining minutes from a very smart director who has decided to come out and play. full review

August 2, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A film so amateurish that only the professionalism of some of the actors makes it watchable. full review

August 2, 2002
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The whole thing feels like a ruse, a tactic to cover up the fact that the picture is constructed around a core of flimsy -- or, worse yet, nonexistent -- ideas. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Is it a total success? No. Is it something any true film addict will want to check out? You bet. full review
