Movie review – “The Full Monty” (1997) ****

This holds up very well. The humour and warmth haven’t dated a jot, nor has what it says about masculinity. Maybe I also relate to it more as I’ve gotten older with it’s concerns of aging, finding work and being a man. The final dance is a delight – it’s like watching good friends do it. (It helps that the song is ‘You Can Leave Your Hat On’.) Tom Wilkinson and Mark Addy are stand outs especially.
