Well what can I say about The Full Monty? Simply this; it is one of those films that made me laugh and cry sometimes at the same time, and more importantly it made me proud to be British. The Full Monty is just a wonderful film, engaging, funny and genuinely poignant in places.

" Faced with economic hardship, Gaz, played by Robert Carlyle, who was previously in the movie, Trainspotting, are left with few options.
