Middle-aged Alby refuses to grow up, and his wife is tired of the games. After a fight, Alby leaves his wife and young son to return to his childhood home, where he can be a kid again without the pressures of the real world. Of course we know that Alby will give up his action figures and take on some responsibility by the end of the movie, but it should be a mild pleasure to watch the formula play out as he gets there.
Unfortunately, Full Grown Men can’t decide if it wants to be touching, slapstick, witty, or a collection of cameos, so it tries them all out along the way. The result is a comedy without any real laughs, a coming-of-age tale in which no one grows up. The premise could have grown into a fine film, but it’s never allowed to mature.
NO (3/10)
