Review of The Full Monty (1997) by Regoz — 07 Feb 2012
Personally, I think this one of the best comedies ever! A classic! Truly delightful! My son, and I have watched it a few times. He is 11 and he loves it too. He is a pretty selective, intelligent, and sweet boy, who doesn't enjoy gruesome humour, but a sharp and witty one, so he at his age can already distinguish good films from second class, vulgar movies.
It is not my intention to be snob, but I find sad the fact that now, what is considered a 'cool' comedy but modern society is often mediocre, silly, tacky, and tasteless. This film, on the other hand, is the opposite.
Certainly, there is swearing and there is a bathroom escene that some may not like but it works in its context. The topic is related to sex of course, but I think this movie is outstanding, not only because of the dynamics between the characters and their interplay, but also because it breaks with stereotypes and in its ways, tells us a bit about human resilience.
It is not a Hollywood comedy, it is one of those that although are relaxed, engaging and easy to watch, still has profoundity. I will never get sick of it! About the performances : 10 points...
