    Storyline

    Edit
    Like many guys, Mark Foster struggles with commitment, but given his past, he has good reason. Fifteen years ago, his parents' scandalous divorce grabbed the public's attention and shattered Mark's ideas about marriage. Even worse, Mark and his charismatic brother, Hal, were forced to pick sides and to this day, disagree over whom to fault. Unfortunately, Mark has never shared any of this with his unsuspecting girlfriend, Erika, who is about to meet Mark's embittered, camera-happy mother, Gretchen, for the first time. As Mark desperately struggles to keep his family's sordid history under wraps, during a long, awkward weekend, past issues resurface that force Mark to confront the thing he fears the most...his own lies. —Jon Bowden

    The Full Picture
    The Full Picture is a hoot! Jon Bowden's direction and script kept things moving right along and each of his characters were very well-defined and interesting. The entire cast is wonderful but Bettina Devin is the hootiest!! She's a wonderful actress who was given a wonderful role and off she went! While the story line carried you right along into humor, sadness, anger and grief the film was shot and edited in a very unique, enjoyable way. There were some scenes that made you think one thing, and they turned out to be something else which made the film very entertaining. Before you knew it, the film was over and you sat there wishing for a sequel to find out more about this family. Good story. Good film. A good night at the theater!
