Amazon.co.uk Review
Overtaking IJurassic Park/I as the UK's biggest box office attraction of 1998, and winning one of its four Academy Award nominations, IThe Full Monty/I was the surprise world-wide smash of the year, it's unexpected success reflecting the underdog inspiring message of the film itself. Leading a strong cast, it was Robert Carlyle's appearance here which propelled him to sex-symbol superstardom and brought him high-profile Hollywood roles in IAngela's Ashes/I, IThe World is Not Enough/I and IThe Beach/I among others. The story revolves around the attempts of five unemployed grafters from the recession-hit industrial North to reclaim some of their dignity, which they attempt to do by the unlikely expedient of becoming male strippers. The film follows their struggle to become The Chippendales for real women, from their shambolic beginnings to their euphoric debut appearance in front of 300 hungry lasses! Saucy and spicy with a rocking soundtrack, IThe Full Monty/I tells of the triumph of spirit over adversity, reminding us that everyone can be special, no matter what their shape ... or size. This is British independent film making at its very best, exhibiting the heart-warming truthfulness captured by many UK directors, yet eschewing their often gloomy negativity for an altogether more optimistic outlook: it's a modern fairy tale in which all five Cinderellas get to go to the ball. --IPaul Eisinger/I

 classic comedy that will make you cry laughing. May 5, 2008
I'd heard the hype but only watched the film as my wife wanted to see it.There is a lot of bad language in it but that is the make up of the characters in the film.The film reflects the steel industry failing in the UK and the impact it has on the workers losing their jobs.Far from being depressing,as you may expect,it handles the issues with classic comedy and genuine humour.It runs for almost 90 mins,grabs your attention from the first minute and keeps you laughing all the way through with only the odd short-lived serious moment.Don't let the swearing put you off,i was quite happy to let my 16 year old daughter watch and enjoy the film.It is the humour that stays with you.Recommended.

British comedy when done properly is a really good thing to watch! br /br /Robert Carlyle is excellent in this film. Even a cameo from a 'pre Les Battersby' Bruce Jones gives you a life. Paul Barber (Denzil, Only Fools Horses) is another excellent actor that makes an appearance. br /br /This is a film that captures the early 90's really well, and is one you are sure to watch again and again whenever you need a feel-good laugh session. If you haven't seen it, buy it straight away!

Six unemployed Sheffield steelworkers decide they can get rich quick by putting on a striptease show of their own, intending to go the `full Monty` and strip naked! pThis is a British film that had astronomical success when released. As well as Robert Carlyle, who plays the main character Gaz, there are other recognisable comedy faces for British viewers: Mark Addy as Dave, Paul Barber as 'Horse', (formely Denzil in Only Fools and Horses, and Hugo Speer as Guy. Only in a British film could gnome theft and dancing in a dole queue (amoung other memorable scenes) get the whole audience hysterical.pThe film's soundtrack features cool music of Wilson Pickett, Tom Jones, Donna Summer, Gary Glitter, Sister Sledge and, of course, 'The Stripper'. Indeed, as many people did in the cinema aisles, you will end up dancing yourself!pThe downside is with regards to the DVD extras. Nothing special I'm afraid: scene access and original theatrical trailer only :(pAnyway. 4/5 for a great Brit-flick with an absol: would have given it 5 if the DVD extras cut the mustard!
"It's not bad - this stripping lark - is it?" June 28, 2002

The Full Monty is a "right good laff" (to borrow the parlance of its protagonists). Although the dialect may occasionally bewilder viewers unused to north-England speech, the humour doesn't need any translation. Gaz is down on his luck and is possessed of an endless supply of far-fetched money-making schemes. Inspired with a visit by the renowned Chippendale male strip-show artists to his hometown of Sheffield, and impressed at the huge amounts of money they make by seemingly just taking off their clothes and prancing around a bit, Gaz decides this is his ticket to some fast cash.brPart of the reason this film is likeable is that humour and realism go hand in hand. From the depressing backdrop of an industrial town with high unemployment, Gaz manages to cobble together a troupe of six unlikely strippers, including a suicidal security worker, a man with a dodgy hip, and a well-endowed bathroom repairman. These guys aren't super-studs, they're just ordinary blokes who are willing to give it a shot, and maybe, just maybe, get rich. brThe film begins with Gaz and his friend Dave becoming marooned on a partially submerged car in the middle of a canal (the unanticipated result of one Gaz's plans), and the originality of the comedy continues throughout. So fresh is the humour, that the occasional moments when it sinks to the level of slapstick and cliche, disrupt the natural feel of the movie. The funniest sequences involve the self-titled 'Hot Metal' strippers - who have trouble comprehending dance moves unless they're related to positioning on a soccer field - attempting to master the strip-tease bump and grind (accompanied by a fabulous soundtrack of retro tunes, including Donna Summer and Hot Chocolate).
