Synopsis: In hopes of raising a few quid after their steel factory shuts down, a desperate group of working-class blokes in Sheffield decide to form an exotic male dance troupe, a la Chippendales, with one difference--despite their, well, average-at-best physiques, they're going to go "the full... In hopes of raising a few quid after their steel factory shuts down, a desperate group of working-class blokes in Sheffield decide to form an exotic male dance troupe, a la Chippendales, with one difference--despite their, well, average-at-best physiques, they're going to go "the full monty," meaning they'll offer their audience total nudity. Surprisingly bittersweet moments and well-intentioned social commentary imbue this raucous, feel-good comedy from England.

B

The premise of this comedy--out-of-work male strippers--may be too calculated, but the film exudes charm and its no-name cast and modest budget and scale stand in sharp contrast to to the glitzy, star-driven Hollywood comedy.

When it was first released in 1997, it made quite a name for itself, arguably in large part to the fact of its subject matter. A decade later, the shock factor is gone and what's left is a genuinely funny little film.

A crowd-pleasing blue-collar comedy, half funny and half sad.

...a sweet, humane bit of entertainment that — unlike formulaic Hollywood movies — doesn’t condescend to its audience.

The briskly paced, high-spirited movie is complemented by a funny score that includes the old disco hit You Sexy Thing.
