Pros: good humor, well-developed characters, excellent pacing Cons: none
Times are tough all over, and people will resort to things they normally wouldn’t consider. Usually that means crime, as In when times are tough people are more likely to do something illegal in order to keep food on their table and a roof over ...
Pros: Hilarious. Doesn't try too hard, and thus succeeds all the more. Cons: Very few flaws. Slowish getting underway perhaps.
'British comedy' is a tricky thing, and it is only recently that it is really gaining 'mainstream popularity' in America. Relying heavily on subtlety (never big in the U.S.) and deadpan response (which, with the exception of Bob Newhart, has been all...
Pros: Funny, spicy, and has a kick Cons: You sit in the back on the final production
This review is about a film I have seen several times since its release. The Full Monty is a British Film that was released back in 1997 and now on video. There seem to be certain films I gravitate towards over and over. I have no idea why this is....
Pros: A funny piece of British comedy Cons: Please don't make me fill this in for every review
"Welcome to Sheffield, the beating heart of England's industrial north. The jewel in Yorkshire's crown is home to nearly over a million people, and thousands more flock here daily to shop and to work. All this is built on Sheffield's primary...
Pros: I suppose those with less than perfect bodies would be pleased by the representation here. Cons: stupid to the max.
The Full Monty. You've certainly heard of it... after all, a few years ago it was the movie that everyone and their mother was talking about. You know... relatively unattractive men learning to strip and showing some skin on video. It doesn't...
Pros: Good for laughs, mainly, but balanced with just a smidgen of issues Cons: A bit formulaic; not classic comedy, but good for a solid evening of laughs
When a producer invests $3.5 million into a lightweight comedy written by a novice screenwriter and directed by a first-time feature-film director, he's not generally expecting a box-office return of $195 million worldwide. Not that he'll refuse the ...
Ah, the days of youth. 1997. Ten years old. The Full Monty is released. It's supposed to be hilarious, but my parents make sure to warn me, "It's wrong, little Tommy. There are naked men. Together. That's equilavent to homosexuality." ...
I had a brilliant evening in last night, transported back to 1997 and one of my favourite all time films - The Full Monty - which I have recently acquired on DVD. I don't suppose that there are many people who do not know a little about the storyline ...
Pros: Wonderful British working-class humour, brilliant and convincing acting, serious theme given a fresh approach. Cons: Accent, witticisms, vernacular might not appeal to all; humour could be seen as too localised.
Run Time: 91 minutes To my mind, there is nothing quite so endearing as the sight of grown men stripping off to please a bunch of enthusiastic women. No way am I a fan of the Chippendales or Manpower - being more into cerebral, she smirks - but ...
Pros: Story line, music and of course, the Monty Cons: English slang
The basic story line is great in this movie - a half dozen men, out of work, decide to go where no man has gone before - The Full Monty. The ring leader of this doubtful group of strippers is Gaz. A bit of a showoff, someone that likes to be ...
Pros: We thought it was very funny Cons: At times, the language was hard to understand
Laughs! Yes, we thought it was funny. Perhaps one has to be indoctrinated into British humor before this can seem like a comedy, and having spent some time in England (not to mention they are my husband's co-workers) we had that opportunity. We found...
Pros: humor, script, direction, story Cons: male angst
"The Full Monty" was a sleeper comedy hit on both sides of the Atlantic. A British production, its title (slang for male nudity) was lost in translation in America, but its optimistic mood and entertaining story premise certainly wasn't. The...
Pros: Good dialogue and acting. Cons: Some contrived areas, and really not that funny.
I didn't laugh once.
I chuckled a couple of times, though.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the story enough, it just wasn't that funny except for a couple of scenes, and like "There's Something About Mary", I'd heard that this...
Great Entertainment for the" WHOLE FAMILY." Having watched the Full Monty several times, I do appreciate that very spicy humor of the English even
more.
Out of work steel workers striving to become a strip-act. What a great...
Pros: Funny, sweet, very British humor, the movie. Funny, sweet and very American, the play. Cons: Very British, the movie. Only on Broadway the play.
I just got back from NY and I saw "The Full Monty" on Broadway and let me tell ya it is a great show. I had never seen the movie so for kicks we rented it last night. I have to tell ya that I liked them both, but they were different. Not that the...
