“"When the going gets tough, the tough get go-going."

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.

The humour is often side-splitting, and the film is filled to the brim with many wonderful moments, the part when the "would-be Chippendales of the North" absent-mindedly gyrating to the radio in a dole queue was particularly inspired.

"Here’s another film I saw in college, "The Full Monty," a comedy about Gaz (Robert Carlyle) and his quintet of former Sheffield steel factory workers Dave (Mark Addy), Gerald (Tom Wilkinson), Horse (Paul Barber), Guy (Hugo Speer), and Lomper (Steve Huison), who choose a career as Chippendale strippers while also on line for the unemployment office.

" Date: 5/6/2020 Viewed: Hulu First Viewing Note: I remember hearing about this movie over the years and never saw it until now. After watching it on Hulu, I thought it was a pretty good movie. I normally don't like British comedy because British humor is not really my cup of tea, but the movie had some hilarious moments that made me laugh. I like all the characters in the movie and the acting was solid. The only thing that I didn't like about the movie is that it took me a while to get inves"

"This is another story that we've seen many times before, but just works particularly well here. The story is simple: an unemployed man needs money to support his son, so he gets the idea to get his friends together and form a striptease act. And I think that's what makes the movie so inspiring: that it's all for such a personal goal. I especially love the character of Gerald and how he originally refuses, but ends up not only joining the group but becoming an integral part. Other than that, I do"
