thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 19 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more BadNews R @TheMovieSearch Sep 1 The Full Monty is absolutely hilarious. This dark comedy manages to take such an unconventional concept and spin it into something that’s both outrageous and oddly heartwarming. The story follows a group of unemployed steelworkers who, in a desperate bid to make some money, decide to form their own Chippendales-style strip act. Only, the catch is… none of them look or act the part. And that’s exactly what makes it brilliant. What makes this film stand out is that the men at the center of it are completely average guys — regular, everyday people who are broke, flawed, and a little lost in life. None of them fit the stereotype of a “stripper,” except maybe one who comes close to fitting the mold, and the contrast makes their efforts both hilarious and strangely inspiring. The comedy comes not just from the absurdity of their plan, but from the humanity behind it. You end up laughing at their struggles while also rooting for them to pull it off. The cast is pitch-perfect. Sure, not all of the actors went on to become household names, but together they create lightning in a bottle. Their chemistry, their awkwardness, and their determination give the film so much heart. You genuinely care about them, even when the situations get increasingly ridiculous. I completely see why this movie was nominated (and even won awards). It’s not just funny — it’s sharp, creative, and full of personality. It’s a comedy that actually has something to say about unemployment, pride, and masculinity, all while making you laugh until your sides hurt. The fact that it’s so non-traditional only adds to its charm. Honestly, I’d never sat down and watched it before, but now I can say I’m fully invested. The sheer stupidity of the situation mixed with the sincerity of the characters makes it ridiculously awesome. I mean, come on — who in their right mind would actually do this? And yet, in the world of The Full Monty, it works perfectly. Verdict: Outrageously funny, surprisingly heartfelt, and totally worth the hype.

Still, it sidesteps any fuller spectrum of sexuality—a blind spot that, if made today, one hopes would be corrected. See more joe d Dec 28 Don't get why people like this so much. Never, never want or need to see it again. See more Gareth v Dec 21 Okay. A decent comedy that relies heavily on it's feel-good nature and healthy dose of British charm. See more Ryan D 07/26/2024 Such a great movie. Yes there is some dated lines but it’s also a movie from 1997 about a bunch of guys learning how to strip soooooo take it as you will.
