Directed by Peter Cattaneo, Six unemployed steel workers form a male striptease act. they organized by fun loving, slightly irresponsible Gaz into a Chippendale-style dance troupe. The group is made up of Dave, Gaz’s overweight best friend who has recently been struck with impotency; Gerald, an ex-forman and amateur ballroom dancer; Horse, an old guy with dance moves that slightly resemble the funky chicken, and Guy, who, is hopelessly with no sense of rhythm. as the women cheer them on to go for “the full monty” – total nudity.

( New Zealand playwrights Anthony McCarten and Stephen Sinclair filed a £180,000,000 lawsuit against the producers of The Full Monty in 1998. They claim that the movie blatantly infringed on their play Ladies Night.)
