1000 Tiny Birds: 2026 edition

The Full Monty (1997)

2026-01-29

An enjoyable Britcom romp, which understandably resonated a lot then and maybe less so now? Harder to balance with the quite vocal homophobia in there, which I don’t really take offence to for a couple of reasons - the gay relationship later portrayed tenderly and, yeah, those characters would have thought that, fair enough - but I wonder if younger audiences would empathise less as a result. Does something key which more if not all films should do, which is just end at the proper end of the story and not keep limping on another 15 minutes for unnecessary resolution.
