You know, despite the fact that the language in this movie was atrocious (I have honestly never heard the "f" word used in such realitve order!) Yet, in spite of all of that, the film was heartwarming..yes it is about male strippers, and there are a couple of naked shots from behind. Since it is from Britain, however, I found the slang and accents hard to understand at certain times, and found the subtitles to be a handy tool. Kids under 14 will probably be bored by the movie, but anyone my age and over will most likely be roaring as the final scene comes about. All in all, it was a funny, surprising movie, about the lengths men will go to support their families. A must see for any comedy fan.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Full Monty
Parents need to know that despite its racy premise (a group of unemployed male steelworkers turn to stripping to make ends meet), this is a surprisingly warm film, very family-friendly for those with older children. Though the frontal male "full monty" of the title never materializes, several scenes feature naked male behinds and there is a shot of a woman urinating into a urinal while exposing her rear end. The film's characters also smoke continually, drink casually and regularly, and they are willing to show their goodies in order to make a buck. One character also makes a suicide attempt, and two of the men fall discreetly in love over the course of the movie.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about morals and ethics--do they have a price? How does the financial desperation of the characters convince them to do things they are uncomfortable with doing? How does looking at naked bodies in the context of public entertainment affect the way we think about sex and intimacy?
