The story of unemployed steel workers in Sheffield, England who decide to put on a male striptease show for one night to make some money is a simple premise that is beautifully realized because of the time the film takes to build our understanding of these men and their different plights and motivations. We come to know and care for them as they come to care for each other. The comedy grows from the characters and their personalities and their different reactions and situations. There is sympathy and sensitivity to their desperation: Gaz (Robert Carlyle), the ex-con hustler, desperate to keep a connection with his son; Gerald (Tom Wilkinson), the manager, desperate to hold onto his middle-class lifestyle; Dave (Mark Addy), chubby and insecure, desperate to hold onto his wife; and so on. Expertly played by these actors, new to American audiences in 1997, but now familiar, the laughter evoked is wry and humane and, in the end, joyful.
The film carefully builds the story with expert comedic setups (the auditions and rehearsals, etc.) of everyday men trying to do something they are seemingly unequipped and ill-prepared to accomplish, with touches of pathos as we see the troubles and strains in their personal lives. All this leads to the Big Night and a grand finale that is funny, heart-warming and beautifully filmed. A terrific little film with a lot on its mind, beneath the humor. Something to do with the dignity of work, of self-respect, and of the touching care one can find amidst people undergoing hard times. A gem.
Please note that this is for the two-disc “Fully Exposed” edition:

If you’re reading this you’re probably already a fan or at least have read other reviews telling you how great the movie is, so I won’t clutter the place with more of the same.
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 history regarding the brass band featured throughout the film, development of the script and production, not to mention two different commentary tracks.
But the real gem, as far as I’m concerned, is the featurette “Translating English to English”. It really exposes this bizarre paranoia that the American side of the production had.
Rewinding a bit, I started my Monty obsession with a VHS copy of the movie and always wondered why some of the words didn’t match the facial movements of the actors. When the tape wore out I replaced it with the first DVD version, which had an “Original UK audio track” option. Playing that, I realised that they had dubbed some of the words for the US version and that’s why it always looked so goofy.
Even funnier, it wasn’t the weirder UK expressions like “Chuffing Nora” or “Don’t get a benny on”. No, they dubbed words like “DIY” into “how-to” and “tw-t” into “git”. Tw-t into git?? How is “git” any easier for the supposedly confused American audience to understand?
So the featurette on the subject was just about as funny as the film itself and, for me, that alone was worth buying this version.
Definitely a must-have for any Full Monty fan.
