I was surprised to see the rather low IMDb score for this movie which is actually one of my top ten American independent movies of all time. It has a terrific cast, a great story and a great sub-story (or rather a sub-text to the main story), the different camera work serving as the differentiating element between the two. As a 'film within a film' type of movie, it superbly conveys the reality-fiction duality, centering on two main stories/plots: the 'real' story (shot dogma-style) and the 'fictional' story (shot in a standard way) thus allowing the viewer to distinguish between the two. It is a film about love and the search for love, the search for love in the right or wrong places, in ways which can be right or wrong. It engages with two developing love stories – one fictional, the other real. The 'fictional' story involves Roberts and Underwood's characters (him - an up-and-coming Hollywood movie star, her –a journalist doing a cover story on him). The 'real' story running in parallel is about the potentiality of human relationships, with two protagonists who have not yet met in person and, through a prolonged online communication, have arranged to finally meet in person. As the movie progresses, the sympathetic viewer's anticipation and excitement for their upcoming meeting at the "Holiday Inn" in Tucson builds up giving the impression that this 'love story in the making' is essentially the leitmotif of the movie, engaging the viewer with these two people's chance for romance and love and the opportunity to 'get it right' this time around. The ultimate reason why this movie resonates with me so deeply is the final scene of the chance encounter between the 'real' love story protagonists before they board the plane to Tucson (the irony being that both of them are based in L.A. and share a number of mutual acquaintances) with the two of them ending up sitting together on the plane. It is at this time that the viewer experiences a heart-warming 'ooooh' moment about how real love can work in mysterious ways, which is almost immediately followed by a shocking twist in the story: as the camera zooms out, what is revealed is – a movie set! Shattering all our illusions that the 'real' love story of the film will indeed develop, the ending is truly a pessimistic one, however, managing to depict in a masterful way the thin dividing line between art and life/ reality and film. Even though the film yet again confirms the age-old rule that accomplished love stories get a better chance in the fictional (movie) world, it also presents us with a challenge for a real-world chance worth taking.

This movie is excellent. Not the same commercial line as Ocean's 12 and 13. Ocean's 11 is perfect, pure Hollywood at its best. The other 2 anyone can see it was made because the crew liked so much working with each other... and a little more $ for all. Maybe, hoping, for funding good movies like this one. The way it leads us into the characters lives, visions, desires and disappointments... Its just beautiful. It shows how the movies about movie making became false. Showing true characters, true people behind them... Not just those absurd situations, that 'Rendevousz' shows. And David Duchovny gave a special touch to the unknown-but-loved-by-all Gus. Its intelligent, sensitive, smart and, above all, True. Again, I think its excellent. I recommend it.

I am not sure what the director was thinking.... Was was his objective and I even thought this was pieces of a movie that never made it to the theater. I just bought the DVD for 10 cents, so, I am not worried about my money, but I am upset for the time that I took to choose and then to watch it. I should have known better from the start that the movie is going nowhere! I suggest everyone who reads this never, never try watching this movie. I have to agree with some of the critics..... This is the worst movie..... I mean the worst movie I have ever watched. What a waste of cast.... So many good people in this movie, and what were they thinking.... As the movie mentions.... Is it just about money.... But this is even a low budget movie.... So I don't get it...

FULL FRONTAL = A FILM VASTLY MISUNDERSTOOD. A masterpiece that should be seen by any film student or film enthusiast. Vastly misunderstood by the masses, this film examines people as are and should be. The (public's) general consensus fails to recognize the film's beauty as a story about humanity and human error. The form, which encompasses both film and digital video, is initially jarring but soon becomes a guide to help learn about characters. The cameos do little but emphasize the importance of the director and his impact he potentially has upon the industry. This film is best seen in context with "Full Frontal" and "Bubble."
