fucking deserved -
He's fat, you're thin, and you're both fucking ugly.
-GeraldThe gang in Magic Mike don't have anything on Gaz and the gang. All Channing Tatum and his guys have are bulging muscles and sex appeal while these boys are unemployed, obese, impotent, old, depressed and suicidal. There's even a ginger in there for good measure. It's not even a contest.
I've always been told this movie was good, but I'm not quite sure why I never got around to watching it before. It finds humor in the face of hardship and I'm a sucker for that kind of comedy. The cast is damn fantastic too with Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy and Tom Wilkinson easily being the standouts.
It tackles all these serious issues with an end game solution that is both ridiculous and perfect.

what a winner. charming, hilarious and just a one hell of a good time. it also touches on some heavy themes that i've personally dealt with during the pandemic, like body image, as well as being laid off from your job and not knowing what the future holds when your main source of income is taken away from you. it really hit on all cylinders for me because those subjects were pretty scary and frustrating to deal with. this gem was also nominated for best picture, best director & best screenplay at the 1998 academy awards. fucking aye man, well warranted.

“facts” I choose not to believe:
– this has a letterboxd rating of just 3.5
– titanic beat this for best picture (?!?!)
– the scene where hot stuff plays at the job centre isn’t acknowledged worldwide as the best scene cinema has ever given us -
let suicidal man and guy with the big dick be gay 👏 glad that tiny hoop earrings are making a comeback

Hilarious subject matter with the most likeable motley crew ever to grace the big screen!
Easily among my top 10 Comedies that I watch atleast once a year! Killer soundtrack and a fabulous cast that elevates comedy to a whole new level! One of the BEST Buddy films ever!
