Q: how many of us would become strippers ?
for those of us who would n't , is it a moral reason , or purely a lack of confidence ?
that 's probably not a fair question , and for a lot of us ,
it could very well be for neither of those reasons .
as you watch the full monty , however , you may begin asking yourself these kinds of questions .
would you be willing to grin and bare it to bring in some much needed dough ?
in case you have n't guessed , the full monty is about stripping , but striptease it ai n't .
it 's actually quite a charming comedy that uses its ideas with a great deal of tact and sophistication .
it is the story of six out - of - work , out - of - shape blue collar brits whose recent job losses have left the boys penniless , but not without need .
what to do ?
it hits our main character gaz ( robert carlyle ) as he notices the large crowds of women who pour into a local male strip club on a regular basis .
it seems that simple : take it off and bring in the cash .
eventually , gaz is able to convince his friends to join him in starting their own exotic dance routine despite their initial reluctance .
these include the overweight , confidence - lacking dave ( mark addy ) , the uptight , overly - officious gerald ( tom wilkinson ) , the once suicidal lomper ( steve huison ) , and two additional fellows who gain their place among the group by audition : horse ( paul barber ) , an older gentlemen chock full of graceless energy , and guy ( hugo speer ) , a young well - endowed looker who compares himself to cary grant .
when the sextet is complete , we 're given a hefty dose of physical comedy .
we watch the bumbling middle - aged men choreograph pseudo - sexy dance numbers , all the while proving why none of them were strippers in the first place .
as if there anti - appeal was n't enough , they decide to boost interest in the group by promising " the full monty " on opening night , which for us americans , means baring it all .
..
and i mean
* all
* .
the movie actually ends on opening night ; a hilarious applause worthy ending
i might add .
it 's sure to leave nothing short of a big smile on your face as you leave the theater .
with the subject matter , you might not expect the fully monty to be such a feel - good , almost inspiring film , but it surprisingly turns out that way .
the amount of light , touching drama also comes as a nice surprise , never feeling off - balance from the otherwise highly upbeat moments of the film .
there 's a lot more to this movie than you might think in other words , and
the ensemble cast could n't be better .
each character is completely individual , interesting , funny , and most importantly , real .
the full monty is never offensive , a very impressive attribute since its subject matter alone could 've easily fallen prey to tastelessness .
it 's one of those movies that is best described as a solid piece of entertainment , perfect for a great night on the town , or as a saturday night movie rental .
either way you see it
, it should n't let you down in the slightest .
and , pun heavily intended , when it 's all said and done
, you 'll be smiling from cheek to cheek .
