Its social commentary, its unlikely but charismatic cast, and heartfelt but humorous writing has made it a film that many people find hard to forget.

One Room With A View
Rating: 3.5/4 --
It's a familiar show-biz routine but one that's spangled with happy surprises and sharp acting.
USA Today
...[An] irresistible tale....Brightly acted and casually hilarious....It displays tenderness and respect on a par with its great humor...
New York Times
Rating: 7/10 --
Largely sweet and insubstantial, not so much "funny" as it is charming and grin-making.

Antagony & Ecstasy
Rating: B --
The premise of this British comedy, out-of-work male strippers, is contrived and calculated, but the film exudes charm and optimism.

...Heart-warming fun with more serious undertones than you might have expected...

Product Description:
In hopes of raising a few quid after their steel factory shuts down, a desperate group of working-class blokes in Sheffield decide to form an exotic male dance troupe, a la Chippendales, with one difference--despite their, well, average-at-best physiques, they're going to go "the full monty," meaning they'll offer their audience total nudity. Surprisingly bittersweet moments and well-intentioned social commentary imbue this raucous, feel-good comedy from England. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Original Musical or Comedy Score. Academy Award: Best Original Musical or Comedy Score.
