YMMV / The Full Monty

Go To

  • Best Known for the Fanservice: "It's the film about the naked guys, yeah?" Well yes, but there's more to it than that....
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The "Hot Stuff" queue scene. It was nearly taken out because of how unrealistic it was - but ultimately left in because it's hilarious.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • The police takes away Nathan from Gaz (his son) when he and everyone is caught doing their routine in front of him, and, Horse's family:
    Police Inspector: "So your daddy dances in front of you, does he?"
    Nathan: "Only when he's rehearsing."
    • There's a song about assisting a friend's suicide. It's funny and offensive, and funny because it's offensive.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Robert Baratheon plays Gaz's Fat Best Friend Dave.
  • Values Dissonance: While fairly realistic for the time and setting, the casual homophobia and sexism (particularly from Gaz, which goes unchallenged) can be a bit jarring for modern viewers.
