Summary: Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Laugh until You Cry!
Review: This film has become one of my all-time favorite comedies. The plot is hilarious in itself (couple of Manchester "loosers" trying to "make it big" in "their bloody lives"), but how well the cast works together--is simply hysterical! Besides being hysterically funny, this film is also touching, because it helps to restore your faith in yourself, your friends, and your family, even if you'd lost it completely.

Summary: An Irresistible Winning Comedy! Halarious!
Review: This movie si really funny and one of the best of 1997, it is very original and it gets it's laugh in a very unique and honest way. The acting is great and the actors are perfectly cast, the accents are a bit heavy, but you can still understand. I recommend this movie to anyone who's looking for a good comedy and a good time.

Summary: Much Monty
Review: A cheesy sixties tourist film runs over the credits, and we get a peek at Sheffield's heyday as a British industrial super-city on the grow. Contrast that with the low-wage or no-job watseland of Sheffield in the 90's, and the desperatation is easy to understand. One of the men, played by Robert Carlye, is about to lose visiting rights with his son if he can't earn the 700 pounds to help support the boy. After dropping in on a Chippnedales review, dad and a pudgy pal figure it might just work for them. Now keep in mind, these guys are no studs. They're from the eat-now, weigh-later school of thought. But despite their physical shortcomings, they've got drive. You've got to like a movie where characters, fully aware of the embarrassing possibilities, embark on a no-holes-barred adventure to reclaim their last shred of dignity. The Full Monty, which is a Brit-speak term for taking at all off, squeezes a lot out of a little, and at times the mens' aimlessness makes for slow going. But in scenes where they practice their stage moves or wait in an dole line unable to control their happy feet, the movie is supremely silly--a romp that's inconsequential but never less than fun.

Summary: Chuffing rubbish!
Review: This comedy (so it's called) became a big hit in 1997 and it seemed everyone loved it. However upon buying it on video I found it to be completely dull. Ok odd parts were funny, but it was'nt the funniest film ever, and it's beyond a joke to call it Britains best comedy. I can't see how Americans could like it because the characters talk in a northern accent.

Summary: Not Funny
Review: A quite stunningly overrated film. Blazing Saddles, Airplane!, Naked Gun and Clerks are all funny films. The Full Monty is just rubbish.

Summary: Superb
Review: I don't often use the word superb--it's a strange word. But it seems to fit here. This film has so many things going right for it, not least of which is the absolutely brilliant screenplay. There are quite a few films today that feature great acting and directing, but pitifully few with really great writing. Thank you, Simon Beaufoy.

Summary: A Great Comedy!
Review: This movie, based in Sheffield, England, is about 6 unemployed and desperate "blokes" who think they can "make a bob or two" out of stripping. They run into a few obstacles but that's what makes the movie fun. It's funny to hear the men "critique" each other too. This is one of my top 3 favorite movies. It's not just a "chick flick" either. My husband and son thought it was a riot too.

Summary: A funny, funny movie

Summary: One of my favorite comedies every - great soundtrack!
Review: This is one of my favorite comedy movies ever. The cast is absolutely delightful and I embrace them even more with each viewing. I agree with other reviewers that the Northern accents were a bit thick the first time I saw the film, but did not present any language barriers after the first few minutes or on subsequent viewings. The film features wonderful performances by Robert Carlyle (if you liked him in the Full Monty, be sure to check out his poignant role in Go Now), Mark Addy and Tom Wilkinson. The rehearsal scenes are the best, set to a great soundtrack (I bought that, too!). Many of the one-liners are priceless. It may not be for everyone, but I've probably watched it at least 20 times (okay, I know, get a life). It really is fun enough to watch that many times.

Summary: Really good movie
Review: Good movie, filled with everything you want to see. I won't say them all cause someone already has and its too long. Its skill because it shows the kind of life they had in England. Its the kind of film you want to see again and again so buy it on DVD now!
