Profile of The Full Monty

The mood of The Full Monty is offbeat, feel good, and sincere. The plot centers around unemployment, outward appearances, and the working class. It features dry humor. The Full Monty is a comedy movie. Stylistically, it stars an ensemble cast. In approach, it is realistic. The Full Monty takes place, at least partly, in a small town. The setting is England. It happens in the 1980s. The musical score of The Full Monty is disco and pop. The movie is known for being an Oscar winner, essential viewing, and a blockbuster. Note that it includes nudity.

Summary of The Full Monty

In hopes of raising a few quid after their steel factory shuts down, a desperate group of working-class blokes in Sheffield decide to form an exotic male dance troupe, a la Chippendales, with one difference--despite their, well, average-at-best physiques, they're going to go "the full monty," meaning they'll offer their audience total nudity. Surprisingly bittersweet moments and well-intentioned social commentary imbue this raucous, feel-good comedy from England. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Original Musical or Comedy Score. Academy Award: Best Original Musical or Comedy Score.

So seamlessly buoyant and enjoyable that it's easy to miss how carefully and sensitively it's made. Full Review

The New York Times

Inevitably, the film has echoes of "Brassed Off," another recent British export. The Full Monty is less sentimental and arguably funnier. Full Review

The Full Monty

a nice movie that somehow manages to turn from a depressing portrayal of an English working class environment into a light-hearted, feel-good movie. Read and rate it
