Critic Reviews

• Peter Debruge, Variety

  At first glance more stylish than its peers, Full of It rapidly slips into the cliches of the genre.

• Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

  There is a glimmer of comedy, but it's quickly swamped in overextended gags and broad caricatures.

• Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

  It's still better than a lot of teen comedies with much bigger budgets.

• Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

  Anyone over 6 will grow bored with this film.

• John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

  There have been worse ideas for teen comedies, but few have been as badly executed as this one.

• Michael Ordoña, Los Angeles Times

  The genre usually gets the super-slick, smash-cutting, roving-camera treatment, but Full of It feels oddly low key despite the fantastical elements. Some pre-fab parts don't quite fit together.

• David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

  ...a particularly frustrating missed opportunity that should've (and could've) been so much better.

• Heather Huntington, ReelzChannel.com

  There was a moment when I hoped it might actually be a send-up of the Can't Buy Me Loves, She's All Thats, Never Been Kisseds, Mean Girls, Heathers, Freaky Fridays, and every-John-Hughes-movie-ever-made of the world. But no.

• Nathan Rabin, AV Club

  Despite a novel premise and an appealing, energetic cast, Full Of It seldom finds magic in its supernatural whimsy.

• Frank Ochieng, Movie Eye

  [A] prepubescent piece of piffle in comparison to a hearty belch--it's obnoxious, loud, smelly then soon will disappear into the thin air.

• Timothy Knight, Reel.com

  While Pinkston does a serviceable job and makes an all-too believable nerd, he's neither charming nor funny enough to give the material the extra spark it so desperately needs to engage us.

• Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures

  Full of It isn't just a title. Add an S and an H, and you have my most honest review.

• Brian Orndorf, OhmyNews.com

  I didn't know who Ryan Pinkston was before I watched Full of It, and now I pray to the cinema gods I will never have to wince through another one of his insufferable movies again.

• M. K. Terrell, Christian Science Monitor

  This throwaway teen fantasy has its moments but it appears as if the dog ate the script.

• Phoebe Flowers, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

  Somehow Full of It got made and got distributed, despite its nearly fanatical lack of wit or originality.

• Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly

  Full of It abandons the de rigueur hot pastels of the average high school caper in favor of distressed browns and greens, but in the end, all the funky style masks little more than a Pinocchio retread for the adolescent grunge set.
