Thirty-something Alby (Matt McGrath) rounds up his prized action figures and leaves his son, wife and adulthood behind, escaping back home to mom. This move sets in motion a road-trip odyssey with childhood friend Elias (Judah Friedlander) to Diggityland, a sort of Disneyland meets SeaWorld. Along the way they meet a kooky succession of beautiful losers, including a vigilante ex-theme park employee (Alan Cumming), a bartender attending clown school (Amy Sedaris) and a mermaid (Deborah Harry) who sets Alby on the right path. San Francisco-based filmmakers David Munro and Xandra Castleton imbue their debut project with eccentric characters, candy-colored locations and a dazed, sun-drenched melancholy. With the distinctly American spirit of recent independent films like Me and You and Everyone We Know and Sideways, Full Grown Men is the quirky and bittersweet tale of a clueless young man who refuses to grow up and his comic journey to adulthood. — J. Shepard
