Full Monty, The: Special Edition (2 Disc)

After losing his job at a steel factory, Gaz (Robert Carlyle) learns that his wife wants to sue him for missed child support payments. Desperate for money, Gaz and his friend Dave (Mark Addy) decide to create their own male strip-tease act. The two friends recruit four more men, including their former foreman (Tom Wilkinson) and a security guard (Steve Huison). The group promises that their show will succeed because they are willing to go “the Full Monty”: completely naked.

Critic Reviews:

• " The Full Monty finds both pathos and laughs in its farfetched conceit, avoiding the pitfalls of sappiness and shtik. Odds are good you'll exit grinning. " – David Ansen

• " Upbeat, crowd-pleasing tale of six unemployed steel workers faced with an unusual choice to guarantee their livelihood. " – ***Leigh Paatsch*

• " This movie walked so that Magic Mike could run. Social commentary? Check. Unlikely pathos? Check. Male strippers? Six checks! " – Laura Bradley
