  Review by christian di leo ★★★★ 4

  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.

  Review by Mr. DuLac ★★★★

  He's fat, you're thin, and you're both fucking ugly.

  The 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.

  Haven't watched this in absolutely years, but it still delivers.

  A really charming feel-good film that also touches on a number of deeper subjects - in fact, I'm hard pushed to think of a theme that resonates through our day-to-day lives that this film doesn't touch upon.

  And just like our unlikely gang of heroes at the centre of the story, the film itself was an unprecedented success, garnering an Academy Award nomination for best film and making over £250 million at the box office.

  Those facts don't point to the quality of a film per se, but in the case of The Full Monty, I think a lot can be said for just how monumental the breakthrough was for…

  Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★★

  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!

  Review by Ahmed Aiman ★★★★ 3

  I didn't expect a film with such a premise to be so touching like that! I came only for laughs. But with just a hint of melancholy, this brilliant film managed to find laughs and pathos in equal measure. I also didn't expect it to be such a feel-good film either. But thanks to Peter Cattaneo's effortlessly nuanced direction, Simon Beaufoy's exquisite script, the charismatic and charming cast, and the killer soundtrack that's most likely to be one of the best I've ever heard in a comedy, The Full Monty is a very breezy watch. Its honest and decent exploration of masculinity is also a something we don't see in films anymore. I just wish if its humor was more…

  “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
