    ''Leaves the audience smiling and giggling, all the while painting a convincing and touching portrait of the downtrodden in England."Michael Dequina, Mr. Brown's Movieshttp://mrbrownmovies.com/movierpt25.html#fullmonty

    "The premise of this comedy--out-of-work male strippers--may be too calculated, but the film exudes charm and its no-name cast and modest budget and scale stand in sharp contrast to to the glitzy, star-driven Hollywood comedy."Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.comhttp://www.emanuellevy.com/search/details.cfm?id=7999

    "A crowd-pleasing blue-collar comedy, half funny and half sad."Thomas Delapa, Boulder Weeklyhttp://www.boulderweekly.com/
