Movie Review: Full of It

Carmen Electra also shows up in the film as part of one of Sam’s lies, signaling the actual moment when the film goes from just bad to completely irrelevant and annoying. In fact, the only redeeming performance in the whole darn thing comes from a sultry ten minutes of Teri Polo (Meet the Fockers) as a teacher who, thanks again to Sam’s lying problem, begins to lust after the little guy like she has the disease and he is the cure.

Ryan Pinkston is also a problem. This kid is some sort of annoying that I have yet to encounter. His inability to downplay his naturally smug disposition and transform into an innocent high school loser ruins the film from the start. Add to that the excessive amount of teen movie clichés and taboos that make it into the flick (probably thanks to novice director Christian Charles), and you have a film that is beyond unlikable, it is unbearable – or even unnecessary. By my standards, this is the worst movie that I have seen this year (by far) and quite possibly the worst film since last year’s Little Man. But it does go to show that a film that includes a sultry Teri Polo will always earn at least one star.

Final Grade: 1 Star

Full of It is in theaters March 2, has a running time of 93 minutes and is rated PG-13 for sexual content, drug references, teen partying and crude humor.
