THIS FULL MONTY BOXED SET WAS A GREAT BUY. YOU GET THE FILM ON ONE DISC AND ANOTHER DISC WITH A LOT OF GREAT EXTRAS. THE FILM HAS A GREAT CAST LED BY ROBERT CARLYLE AND TOM WILKINSON. IT TELLS THE MEN'S STORIES AND HOW THEY DECIDE TO DO THE FULL MONTY MALE STRIPPER SHOW. CARLYLE'S STORY IS HE NEEDS THE MONEY SO HE CAN SEE HIS SON. HE'S SEPARATED FROM THE BOY'S MOTHER. IT'S VERY DRAMATIC LEADING UP TO THE SHOW. WILL THEY ALL DO IT, OR WILL SOME BACK OUT. THERE'S ALSO A GREAT SOUNDTRACK OF MUSIC. THE SCENES OF THEM LEARNING THE DANCE MOVES ARE SO GREAT. IT'S A GREAT FILM THAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD BY THE END. VERY ENTERTAINING FILM.

This is a truly excellent+ movie about unemployed men in in the economically depressed steel making town of Sheffield, England. (by the way, some of the worlds finest steel for knives, swords and shaving razors has come from Sheffield) Most all of the men are depressed and broke, one attempted suicide, one has been lying to his wife for months about his job (or the actual lack of one).....and everyone of them is desperate for work. After seeing a huge roomful of women screaming at the Chippendale male strippers that had come through their town, the men get the idea of doing their own version of a strip show, using local steel worker talent, including themselves, and promising the ladies something they did not see with the Chippendale's....a chance to see EVERYTHING (g-strings come off)...hence "The Full Monte". Watching these everyday guys swallow their pride and learn how to strip and dance naked in front of each other is absolutely cool. I am not gay - "Not that there's anything wrong with that", nor is this a gay orientated movie like a lot of my friends think it is, but I feel it will be enjoyed by EVERYONE once they get past any preconceived misconceptions. If you have kids and are in any sort of outs with your partner you will truly feel for the man who would and does literally do anything to be with his son again! There is a bit of coarse language that only lends to the realism of this spot on film. I would have no problem letting my 14 year old daughter or 13 year old son watch this already a classic in my house movie. Have a few drinks, smoke some tobacco or whatever and watch this movie in the evening. Don't be afraid to feel for the dad trying to be with his son, or the chubby guy who has to confess to his wife about what he is up to, as they get ready to show the girls "The Full Monte"!Read full review
I FIRST SAW THIS MOVIE AT MY MOTHER'S IN FLORIDA WHEN WE WERE VISITING. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS!!! AS SOON AS I GOT HOME FROM FLORIDA, I BOUGHT IT FROM EBAY. BRAND NEW DVD THAT I WILL TREASURE FOREVER!! I AM NOT USUALLY A FAN OF BRITISH FILMS, BUT THIS IS AN ECEPTION. IT IS NOT ONLY FUNNY BUT A VERY TOUCHING TRUE STORY. YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT SEVERAL TIMES TO PICK UP ON EVERYTHING. IT IS NOT IN THE "QUEENS ENGLISH" AND SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THEM SPEAKING. IT CAME WITH SUBTITLES BUT IF YOU WATCH IT A FEW TIMES, YOU REALLY DON'T NEED THE SUBTITLES AND IT KIND OF WRECKS THE MOVIE WHEN YOU HAVE TO READ SOMETHING AND WATCH. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND I WILL TREASURE IT FOREVER. I WOULD TELL EVRY ONE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE IF YOU WANT TO GET A GOOD LAUGH!!!Read full review
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.
A little more emotionally complex than i remember from watching it years ago; How far will prople go to earn money? lots of anxiety due to body shape, size. Generally, lots of fun and many hilarious scenes.
