Full Monty

Pros: Funny, spicy, and has a kick

Cons: You sit in the back on the final production

The Bottom Line: If you want to spend an evening watching a super comedy? This is the film to watch. I adore it.

Review: This review is about a film I have seen several times since its release. The Full Monty is a British Film that was released back in 1997 and now on video. There seem to be certain films I gravitate towards over and over. I have no idea why this is...

Pros: Hilarious. Doesn't try too hard, and thus succeeds all the more.

Cons: Very few flaws. Slowish getting underway perhaps.

The Bottom Line: If you missed it, unmiss it. If you've seen it, see it again.

Review: 'British comedy' is a tricky thing, and it is only recently that it is really gaining 'mainstream popularity' in America. Relying heavily on subtlety (never big in the U.S.) and deadpan response (which, with the exception of Bob Newhart, has been...

Pros: I suppose those with less than perfect bodies would be pleased by the representation here.

Cons: stupid to the max.

The Bottom Line: I kept waiting for it to get good... and it never did.

Review: The Full Monty. You've certainly heard of it... after all, a few years ago it was the movie that everyone and their mother was talking about. You know... relatively unattractive men learning to strip and showing some skin on video. It doesn't...

Pros: A funny piece of British comedy

Cons: Please don't make me fill this in for every review

Review: "Welcome to Sheffield, the beating heart of England's industrial north. The jewel in Yorkshire's crown is home to nearly over a million people, and thousands more flock here daily to shop and to work. All this is built on Sheffield's primary...

Pros: good humor, well-developed characters, excellent pacing

Cons: none

The Bottom Line:

You won't solve the unemployment issue but you'll get a good laugh out of The Full Monty.

Review: Times are tough all over, and people will resort to things they normally wouldn t consider. Usually that means crime, as In when times are tough people are more likely to do something illegal in order to keep food on their table and a roof over...

Pros: Good for laughs, mainly, but balanced with just a smidgen of issues

Cons: A bit formulaic; not classic comedy, but good for a solid evening of laughs

The Bottom Line: The sleeper film of 1997 and a clever comedy that's sure to amuse.

Review: When a producer invests $3.5 million into a lightweight comedy written by a novice screenwriter and directed by a first-time feature-film director, he's not generally expecting a box-office return of $195 million worldwide. Not that he'll refuse the...

Pros: great British film!

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: British cinema at its best!

Review: I had a brilliant evening in last night, transported back to 1997 and one of my favourite all time films - The Full Monty - which I have recently acquired on DVD.

I don't suppose that there are many people who do not know a little about...

Pros: Cast. Script. Story.

Cons: Sloooooooooooooooow beginning.

The Bottom Line: is nekkid.

Review: Ah, the days of youth. 1997. Ten years old. The Full Monty is released. It's supposed to be hilarious, but my parents make sure to warn me, "It's wrong, little Tommy. There are naked men. Together. That's equilavent to homosexuality."
...

Pros: Wonderful British working-class humour, brilliant and convincing acting, serious theme given a fresh approach.

Cons: Accent, witticisms, vernacular might not appeal to all; humour could be seen as too localised.

The Bottom Line: Uplifting, joyful, touching movie. The guys are all superb, proving that with balls and determination even average people can not only make it, but also be a resounding success.

Review: Run Time: 91 minutes

To my mind, there is nothing quite so endearing as the sight of grown men stripping off to please a bunch of enthusiastic women. No way am I a fan of the Chippendales or Manpower - being more into cerebral, she...

Pros: Story line, music and of course, the Monty

Cons: English slang

The Bottom Line: "You give me reason to live.
You can leave your hat on!"
Tom Jones

Review: The basic story line is great in this movie - a half dozen men, out of work, decide to go where no man has gone before - The Full Monty.

The ring leader of this doubtful group of strippers is Gaz. A bit of a showoff, someone that...
