It is a story about 6 “down on their luck” unemployed men and their friends and families. One of the main characters comes up with an idea to make some quick money- to do a strip tease just like the Chippendales. But can they go one step further, all the way-“the full monty”-to attract an even bigger audience? There are a number of important and poignant themes running through the story lines- the sacrifices people make for their children, the binding ties of friendship, the risks involved in seeing a wild idea through to the bitter end.
