Sheffield, the late 90s. Many steelworks have been closed and consequently, many steelworkers are unemployed and struggling to find work. Carlyle and Addy are two such workers resorting to petty crime in order to scrape together enough money to survive. When the Chippendales arrive at the local men's club and the entire town's female population turn out to watch them perform, the two come up with a scheme to make some money by stripping - except, in order to add something extra to make up for the fact that they aren't Chippendales, they decide to show 'the full monty'.
Predicatably amusing scenes follow.
Stand out for me are Mark Addy and Tom Wilkinson, both of whom are pretty good. I found Robert Carlyle really annoyed me after a while, not least because his accent left a lot to be desired.
My rating: 6.9 / 10
