just not that interesting

I didn't hate the movie. I just was surprised at all the hubbub about it. It was a little movie that was mildly diverting at best and yet it got so many kudos. I guess I have to give it a few points for being original and some decent acting by a bunch of unknowns, but I just didn't find myself caring about them or the plot. I would not have gone to the theater to see this nor would I have bothered renting it. In fact, it was on HBO or some other pay channel and that's why I saw it. And, that's exactly what I recommend. See it if you want, but don't bother PAYING to see it, as there are better ways to spend your money.

Another little film in which you also get to see an ugly old man's butt is Waking Ned Divine--a much more interesting movie and certainly worth paying to see.

Engaging, genuinely poignant and very funny

"When the going gets tough, the tough get go-going."

Well what can I say about The Full Monty? Simply this; it is one of those films that made me laugh and cry sometimes at the same time, and more importantly it made me proud to be British. The Full Monty is just a wonderful film, engaging, funny and genuinely poignant in places.

The humour is often side-splitting, and the film is filled to the brim with many wonderful moments, the part when the "would-be Chippendales of the North" absent-mindedly gyrating to the radio in a dole queue was particularly inspired. And of course the dirty dancing antics. While it is very funny, it was poignant too. The Full Monty is a film about men's emotional short-comings, and these were explored in an engaging and profoundly touching way.

The script does have some hilarious moments, often verging on hysterical at times, but it never fails to be touching as well. Peter Cattaneo's direction is another plus, it is relaxed and sensitive, never taking itself too seriously. And the story is very engaging and beautifully written. Visually, The Full Monty looks lovely, the opening scene especially was beautifully shot, and the cinematography was skillful. I even liked the music, You Sexy Thing, Make Me Smile, Rock & Roll, We are Family and the Full Monty all to name a few were really pleasant and entertaining.

And of course, the acting is brilliant, every single person gives an honest and appealing performance. Starting with Robert Carlyle as the divorced father trying to maintain joint custody of his son, he delivers a really strong and vulnerable performance that serves as the film's core. Mark Addy, Lesley Sharp, Tom Wilkinson and Hugo Speer give terrific support and manage to be really likable.

Overall, wonderful film, definitely worth seeing if you like movies that are both funny and touching. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Good feel

I quite liked this one and actually saw it a couple of times at the cinema. A good working class feel to the humour and nice interplay between the actors. Goes to show that you can make a good story out of pretty much any subject matter.
