From Time Out New York

Alby (McGrath) is a 35-year-old man with the personality and interests of a ten-year-old. After packing up his action-figure collection and leaving his wife and son, he moves back in with his mom and hunts down the best friend (Friedlander) that he tormented mercilessly as a kid, who’s now a special-ed teacher. Their rocky reunion makes for some occasional amusement, but with Alby’s character completely defined by his childishness, Full Grown Men wears a bit thin even at its brief length.
