Despite sharing elements with recent Brit comedy Brassed Off - unemployment, debt-collecting, Yorkshire -The Full Monty is, at its core, an engaging, light-hearted lark that doesn't dwell on its serious themes. But that doesn't preclude it from having its share of poignant moments. Kicking off with a '70s promo film that depicts Sheffield as a thriving, prosperous city, we are then abruptly dragged forward into the bleak '90s to meet Gaz and Dave (Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy), as well as Gaz's nine-year-old son (William Snape).
