I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good concept, poorly executed.

Dreadfully Boring

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It is very difficult to define the source of fascination for this almost classic. the social crisis reflection ? the imagination, courage and hopeless of few men in delicate situation ? the English humor ? the tension and the show itself ? maybe, all. and something giving to it a charm without definition. yes, this could be the secret of its succes. when you see it. again and again.

'The Full Monty' is a very funny 90s comedy with some classic British humour. It achieves most of its laughs through the hilarious dialogue and awkward friendship between the 6 main characters. The main two, played by Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy, are very funny together - a dumb but likable duo who can't seem to get anything right.Despite the silly plot, this is a film with a big heart. It's easy to sympathise with the characters and their situation, especially Carlyle's character who just needs to make a quick buck so he can continue seeing his son. This is a very old-school comedy but it remains funny to this day. Anybody who likes British humour who hasn't seen 'The Full Monty' should definitely give it a watch.

Gaz (Robert Carlyle), his best buddy Dave (Mark Addy), and his son are relegated to petty crime after everybody is laid off at the steel plant in Sheffield. They are struggling to find any jobs. Then one night, Gaz got the idea of stripping from a Chipendales show. He gathers a hopeless jobless crew including the former foreman Gerald (Tom Wilkinson) who has yet to tell his wife that he was laid off 6 months ago.Robert Carlyle is a likable schemer, and Mark Addy is a charming fool. Together they make a hilarious duo. The jokes are smart and funny. I love that Dave complains about Jennifer Beals' welding in 'Flashdance'. It is the marriage between the seriousness of the hopelessness of unemployment, and the embarrassment of male nudity. And just as it gets you laughing, it breaks your heart.

There are very few films these days that make me laugh out loud but this one managed it six or seven times! Having spent most of my adult life in the north of England, I find the humour in this one quite refreshing. It's not all fun and games though, there is quite a lot of drama to be found here and it's this element that gives the humour more bite. Great performances all round with (for me), Tom Wilkinson standing out, although they were all praiseworthy. Over all, a comedy set against the gritty reality of unemployment and all that brings. If, like me, you've been avoiding this one, don't put it off any longer, you can thank me later!SteelMonster's verdict: HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDMy score: 8.7/10You can find an expanded version of this review on my blog: Thoughts of a SteelMonster.
