The Unauthorized Full House Story

It's Lifetime. I didn't watch the show, but I do know stuff about it. The biggest discovery is that Bob and Dave were close friends before the show. For me, there is no sacred cow. I am not going to kill this movie for disrespecting the show. I don't care that much about it. I am sure that these are the best lookalike actors they could find, but it does feel like a Bizarro universe. They even have a reverse set. It's weird and watchable although it's not the most dramatic story. It's basically a recitation of all the highlights. I'm not that invested and at some point, the investment runs out.

I find it hilarious that all these Full House fans didn't know what Bob Saget was really like lol. I couldn't believe he played such a vanilla character for so many years, and did it really well too! My husband would only watch Full House because Bob Saget was in it, having seen him being himself on other stuff. You poor people lol

Just plain horrible! There are things about Bob Sagat I just didn't need to know! The guys acted less mature than the girls (kids)! If it was really like that in real life, that's sad... just plain sad. Horrible movie! May have ruined Full House for me, but I will try to watch it and forget this movie. 😬

Okay guess it needs more words so terrible worst movie I've ever seen. I love full house but hate this movie. Guys don't seriously act that way in real life do they if they do that pathetic. Not a fan of Bob Sagat anymore if he truly acted that way. Ugh Seriously I have to add more than this for the post to count! Why do I have to say so much???

It's like they took wax statues of the original cast, melted them down slightly, made them sentient, and cast them in this travesty. It's great to hate watch, but the casting is so dramatically terrible. The second Candace Cameron is supposed to be playing a 15 year old and looks like she's having a rough time at her 30th birthday. The second Andrea Barber looks a little closer than Candace to 15, like maybe 29.5 years old.

Fortunately, they include the terrible audience laugh, awww, oooooh, etc tracks are in place, so people who aren't sure what emotion to express when watching scripted drivel will know what to do.

The saccharine and predictable sitcom is therefore well represented in this movie.

Pretty interesting account showcasing the lives of the FULL HOUSE cast while the hit series was in production from 1987–1995 (and book-ended by relevant events outside of the show's run), with a primary focus on Stamos (Gaston), Coulier (Mader) and Saget (Brawith). Very well-casted, and its pacing is impressively smooth. A main setback is the lack of major conflict warranting such a "dramatic story". It's also a bit strange how the characters can say they wish their real lives were as simple as FULL HOUSE when the show was about a young widower and his three motherless daughters.... Still, kudos to the attention to detail—they even make sure to cover Posey as Danny Tanner in the unaired pilot.
