MUCH familiar territory is covered in David Munro’s “Full Grown Men,” a sporadically funny road movie from the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival about a Peter Pan-ish 30-something played by Matt McGrath.
McGrath’s character takes his collection of action figures and flees his wife and young son for the comfort of his mother’s home and a bowl of Froot Loops.
He picks up a pal (Judah Friedlander) he used to tease as a child who now works as a special-ed teacher, and they head off to relive their childhood in a Florida theme park called, uh, Diggityland.
Along the way, our hero learns to grow up through encounters with a bartender (Amy Sedaris) who aspires to be a professional clown, a deranged former Diggityland employee (Alan Cumming) and a woman (Deborah Harry) obsessed with mermaids.
“Full Grown Men” is nicely photographed and has impressive sets; too bad there’s so little going on that it seems long even at 78 minutes.
Running time: 78 minutes. Not rated (profanity). At Cinema Village, West 12th Street and University Place.
