My Review-
I have been wanting to see this movie for a long time now, and I have to admit this movie was really funny. I think it is because I'am starting to like British comedies more and more. Also with this movie it introduced the characters one by one and you got to know the characters and enjoy them which I really liked about this movie we got to see the reasoning behind their motive on why they wanted to go "Full Monty". There was not one character that you could be drawn too, each character is like able in their own way because of their own unique personalities. One thing that also drove the movie was the comedic timing of certain scenes and the musical cues that went with it. At times the movie was too much of a downer, but then it would change back to a funny scene, I kind of wish I could have seen the play since it came out years after this film, as well because I am hoping that it is just as funny as with these actors. After seeing this movie I saw that these actors fit the roles perfectly and no one else could play them, the highlight of the film was seeing Tom Wilkinson in a comedic role which I rarely see with his films, it was good to see him in a less dramatic roll, the same with Robert Carlyle, if you have not seen this movie watch it, its pretty damn funny and the music is great. The film also tackles a lot of subjects in funny ways that make the movie go a little smoother and does not take itself to seriously at times since it seems like it was made with all the actors just having a good time filming the movie. This is one of those movies that should not be missed because of the such odd casting in this type of movie you want to see them sort of succeed even if they are probably going to be the worst strippers ever. Its a good movie, its funny so just watch it.
