Reviews
|
Chicago Tribune -
Takes a premise that seems ripe for broad, vulgar joking and turns it into a sly, even subtle, comedy.
|
|
USA Today -
Such pure, naked joy is utterly contagious.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
A winning mix of humor and poignant character examination, and a satisfying film.

Chicago Reader -
This wonderful 1997 comedy--about an unlikely group of men who are determined to strip to music rather than get day jobs--is genuinely effective at inverting gender stereotypes and other assumptions, and it's not the slightest bit heavy-handed.

Los Angeles Times -
If you don't go expecting the depth and subtlety of a Mike Leigh working-class film, The Full Monty can be heart-warming fun with more serious undertones than you might have expected. [13 August 1997, Calendar, p.F-5]
