The Full Monty is a comedy-drama film directed by Peter Cattaneo Set in Sheffield, England it tells the story of 6 unemployed men, 4 of them former steel workers, who decide to form a male striptease act (à la Chippendale dancers) in order to gather enough money to get somewhere else and for main character, Gaz, to be able to see his son. Gaz declares that their show will be better than the Chippendales dancers because they will go "the full monty" - strip all the way! Funny & poignant.
