Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: A group of unemployed Yorkshire steelworkers hopes to replenish their empty wallets and boost their flagging morale by following in the footsteps of the Chippendale's strippers. These guys are hardly what you would think of as buff, and few can even dance. They simply take these problems in stride, because these are men with a plan--displaced, unemployed, and feeling suffocated by the women in their lives, they just want to earn a little respect. The dialogue and interaction between these men will have you screeching with laughter, but of equal importance is their sense of camaraderie and caring. First-time director Peter Cattaneo is a name to watch for; he easily conveys the sheer humanity of these people in their small town with their sad stories and irresistible sense of optimism. --Rochelle O'Gorman Amazon.com: A group of unemployed Yorkshire steelworkers hopes to replenish their empty wallets and boost their flagging morale by following in the footsteps of the Chippendale's strippers.

 Rating:  - Fun Fun Fun!This movie had me laughing from beginning to end. Although the subject of unemployment is no laughing matter, these gentlemen have a plan. And what a plan it is! It really becomes a comedy as we watch the clumsy attempts to dance and strip. The characters' backgrounds, truth stretching, and awkwardness is also charming as well as funny to watch. I have to admit to watching it twice because of the British accents and expressions. The best part is watching the reactions of the guys, and then the ladies. ... Read More Rating:  - A Fun Film! A film that explores some of the human issues that men face in a really comedical way. Rating: - The Full MontyThis is a wonderful movie of some British Steel Workers who are laid off work. One guy has a son and cannot pay his child support, so he gets an ideal of forming a strippers group. No..it does not show the front of them.naked.. a disappointment..laughs. But is a great movie!

But it has to be said that after ten years of being stuck with a DVD that counts "Interactive Menus" as a special feature, I'm beside myself that there's finally some REAL special features to be had. We get to see some of the ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
