The Full Monty (1997) Trailer

Film tells the story of six unemployed british men, four of them former steel workers, who decide to form a male striptease act and go the full monty (strip all the way) in order to gather enough money to get somewhere else. Despite being a comedy, the film also touches on serious subjects such as unemployment, fathers rights, depression, impotence, homosexuality, body image, working class culture and suicide. The Full Monty was a major critical success upon release and an unexpected international commercial success, grossing over 250 million from a budget of only 3. 5 million. It was the highestgrossing film in the UK until it was outsold by Titanic. It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Music Score, winning the last.
