The Full Monty: Critic Reviews

It's a familiar show-biz routine but one that's spangled with happy surprises and sharp acting.

Who knew male strippers could be so sweet?

Leaves the audience smiling and giggling, all the while painting a convincing and touching portrait of the downtrodden in England.

The premise of this British comedy, out-of-work male strippers, is contrived and calculated, but the film exudes charm and optimism.

When it was first released in 1997, it made quite a name for itself, arguably in large part to the fact of its subject matter. A decade later, the shock factor is gone and what's left is a genuinely funny little film.

A crowd-pleasing blue-collar comedy, half funny and half sad.

...a sweet, humane bit of entertainment that - unlike formulaic Hollywood movies - doesn't condescend to its audience.

The briskly paced, high-spirited movie is complemented by a funny score that includes the old disco hit You Sexy Thing.
