Critics Consensus

Cheeky and infectiously good-natured, The Full Monty bares its big beating heart with a sly dose of ribald comedy.

I am glad I came across this movie on Disney + The movie is well done, the storylines are very relateable - the problems and their influences on the characters are well written. The cast is doing a fantastic job. Definitely gonna rewatch.

Newsweek

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.

Collider

Full Monty excels at this debate, finding new grounds for its characters to stand on. However, its shyness on approaching different kinds of sexuality leaves something to be desired.
