FULL MONTY DARES TO REVEAL ALL

by Tavis and Matt Regensburger

The Full Monty, one of this year's best movies, shows how good movies should be made. The plot (yes, there is actually a plot) is excellent and well planned out. Strange, actually, the plot is so well developed that it brought me nearly to tears with built up emotion while also bringing tears to my eyes from laughing uncontrollably.

This new British comedy brings together the talents of Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting), Mark Addy and Tom Wilkinson with the directing support of Peter Cattaneo. Gaz (Carlyle) recruits the help of five men plus his pre - adolescent son. All of the men are jobless with not much hope of finding a job. They decide to put on a strip show for the local gals, and also to raise funds. Gaz needed money to pay child support. The theatrics leading to the show were cleverly played out.

From the very beginning with the '70's introduction, you know that this will be a quite the theatrical trip. These six mates do not exactly fit into the Chippendales mold, in fact, they are all essentially misfits in society. Desperate for work and money they are prepared to do anything necessary to accomplish this goal, even baring it all. This is the must see film of the year.
