There are moments when “The Full Monty” veers a little too close to schmaltz, but it never succumbs. It’s a bittersweet look at the British working class, elevated by a charismatic cast and a tone that, even amid the personal pain and systemic failures, is tinged with optimism.

Doubtless some viewers will find “The Full Monty” sentimental to a fault, though sentiment was key to the success of the movie.

Good, sharply written (and acted) series that lacks the sizzle, pop and magic of the movie.

There are issues of pacing here, both with the plotting and the dialogue. .... Still, for all the kitchen-sink bleakness, its community spirit still crackles with warmth, offering glimmers of hope.

Stream it, but only because all of the characters from The Full Monty that you loved in the ’90s are back and as quirky as ever in the new series. But, just like the dog that got kidnapped in the first episode, the show is a bit shaggy and aimless, which may make your goodwill for these characters wane after a few episodes.

“The Full Monty” gives us heartfelt but overlong and comedically underwhelming looks at the different lives of the Monty men and others in their orbit.

As I huge lover of the film I was so nervous of a come back but it is beautiful The film spotlights the right to work, friendship, caring responsibilities, suicide and the consequences **** abandoning the very people it should represent. The series does all that and so much more. It's darker than the film but then Britain is sadder in a post Boris, post Brexit, post Covid world. I think the stand out theme for me is elderly poverty. Something that perhaps other more right wing nations (Americans - sorry guys!) might not resonate with like us because these issues were not a norm here until recently. And there is still hope of turning back this terrible tide. It's not for me to say if this represents The North but it 100% represents my British fears and does both tenderly & intelligently

Une comédie à l’anglaise, c’est-à-dire au ton léger et très décalé, un humour très « britannique »… ça se laisse (presque) voir d’autant que Robert Carlyle relève un peu le niveau. On sourit ici et là à cet ensemble de facéties qui tiennent comme un château de cartes en équilibre par grand vent… Au moins, ça assume son grotesque sans faiblir, le tout noyé sous un assortiment de bons sentiments sirupeux et dégoulinants de niaiserie sociale. Seuls les Anglais peuvent sortir un film aussi ridicule sans s’inquiéter outre mesure : c’est sans doute là le plus… préoccupant dans toute cette (dé)pantalonnade désuète et souvent… stupide !
