The Full Monty (1997)

Rate: 6
Viewed: 1/19

1/19: Stupid stories make for stupid movies.

Think about this: a group of six ugly, unemployed men decide to put on a striptease for their town in Northern England because they can't figure anything else to do for money. Really? How about...moving out and getting a real job somewhere else? Why is that so hard to accomplish?

The former Best Picture nominee hasn't aged well. Although the film has charm with a nice ending, it tries too hard to mimic the style of Hugh Grant's English comedy classics. Worse, it has many corny moments and forced jokes.

All in all, The Full Monty...you have to be out of your mind.
