The Full Monty

I really liked The Full Monty because of its comedy. Majority of this movie had me laughing the whole time. The characters were what made the movie. It was depressing for them to have gotten laid off and to be with out another job, but it was funny that Gary came up with the whole Chippendales type show just to get money to keep his son. One hilarious part was when Gary and Dave were out jogging and they passed by Lumper who they thought was having car trouble, but Dave soon relized Lumper was trying to kill himself. The only thing that I really disliked was that it was hard to understand they heavy accent. I thought it was weird when Horse invited his family to watch them practice their routine, but at the sametime it was funny to watch his families faces.
I think this movie is really about how hard it is too lose a job, but these guys tried to make the best out of it. They had fun in the end, but went through a lot of uncertainties because of what it was that they had to do to get some money. I thought another message of this movie was that it is ok to love yourself and image no matter what. Daves wife encouraged him to do the "full monty" even though he was so self conscience. It was good to see how much Gary's son cared for him and wanted to help him by letting him borrow some of his savings because he trusted him. This movie also showed that it is important to trust and communicate with your loved ones. Gerald should have done this sooner with his wife because then she wouldn't have gone on her shopping sprees and etc. The detailing throughout the movie was pretty good. You could tell it's a big part of the movie especially when Gary and Dave were on the hill talking to Lumper after he tried killing himself. You could tell the director or producer wanted to get the city in the background. The lighting wasn't the best throughout the movie though. I don't know if it was the film it self or if it was the VHS or DVD. I understand if it was a VHS, but it not, I thought it could have been better. So overall I thought this was a very good comedy and I would give it at least an 8 on a scale of 1-10.
