I haven't seen one of these "unauthorized" TV movie of the weeks about a TV show in quite some time, so got around to watching this new made-for- Lifetime TV the other day, and it's a hoot! I remember watching "Full House" when it was on ABC from early 1988 as a mid season replacement to the Spring of '95 when it was finally cancelled. I never watched faithfully, and quite honestly the show annoyed the hell out of me, but I think there were some others in my family who watched, and I just happened to be in the room. If you watch this movie, the show seemed to annoy some of the cast members as well, especially Bob Saget, who's humor seemed to be more down the road of dark/adult persuasion. LOL. But even though I hated the original show, I was actually quite amused by this movie- laughing more at it than with it I'd say..?? But yes, it is pretty bad, but I think you'll still have fun, especially with it bringing back some memories from a time...you probably never wish to visit again...LMAO

Although a dramatization, it's always nice to see what people are really like and not the characters they may be typecast as after a long running TV show.The movie focuses more on the adults than the children. Special attention is paid to Bob Saget and his history before the show and concerns and antics during it. Dave Coulier's extra talents get limited attention and John Stamos is portrayed as the playboy that isn't taken seriously. The movie didn't get his oversized mullet from the first season right but that's a minor complaint.The acting wasn't bad so very watchable for a TV movie if this was a show you watched when it aired and wanted to know some of the real people and personalities involved outside the camera lens.

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.★★★ (out of four)

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???
