More profoundly, the film is a relevant observation about the effects on workers everywhere stemming from the changes in the global economy. The film resonates with Loach’s uncanny ability that he brings to each picture—a social and political conscience capable of simultaneously stirring an audience’s humor and outrage. -- © First Look Pictures [More]

Though not one of Loach's strongest films, his heart is in the rightplace, and his foray into the privatization of the British Railway System and its devstating effects on its workers is still a worthy cause to champion and a worthy film to see.

Essential Loach viewing for those who still believe in the cause.

Loach's characters speak in a sometimes difficult Yorkie accent, but they tell a story anyone can understand.

Loach has a way of capturing the offhand, unspectacular way people live, with social comedy but minus any sociology.

This is a worthwhile motion picture whose central topic will resonate with many who see it.

If The Full Monty had been a drama, and didn't have the peeling or happy ending, it would probably have looked something like this.

While a bit less fulfilling than Riff Raff or Raining Stones, the latest chapter in the impressive Loach lexicon still packs a punch.

As comedy and drama, the film is full on, if not full monty... Wonderful performances keep us involved and engaged.
