My fiance and I saw "Full Frontal" and we both loved it. BUT...we both live in Los Angeles and are both in the film/entertainment biz. We can totally relate to the wackiness of the story/stories. For someone not living in L.A. or in the film industry, I can see how this movie wouldn't make any sense. It wasn't supposed to be for the masses. He was making fun of the industry and his viewing audience was for the people in the industry. It cost only $2 million dollars to produce the film and it was shot in only 18 days. It accomplished what it set out to do.

Thanks for the review. I hate to spend money that goes to Julia Roberts, seeing I'm one of those horrible Republicans. It comes on free TV, I'll know it may be entertaining to watch.

It's a pet peeve of mine that hollywood keeps making movies and shows about hollywood, full of inside jokes and loaded with condescending portrayals of lowly regular people. Eventually maybe hollywood will be sent a message that nobody is interested in their seeing movies they make to crack themselves up. In my mind, its sort of like going on vacation and using a camcorder to record hours and hours of film of it, then showing it to all your freinds when you get home. If they've been there, they may enjoy it but if not it is a snoozefest in the 1st degree.

Must feel good to be so "IN." If that was the case, why didn't they just release it in LA. Or better yet, just put it on video and send it to industry people instead of trying to fleece people out of money because he put some stars in it.
