Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 14th June 2023The Full Monty review
Warning: contains no nudity! This TV sequel is a politically enraged portrait of a community fighting back under siege.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 14th June 2023Bums away: The Full Monty is back - but without the nudity
No one wants to see the cast naked any more, so this TV follow-up shuns stripping for comic capers and cost-of-living tragedy. Even better, it actually gives plotlines to the female characters.

Two middle-aged couples take a profanity-laden daytrip to the city where they met - but who exactly is this film for?

Will it be enough to revive their fortunes? With $50,000 to find to keep the park open, they need to track down the co-owner to help them.
