(If you’re curious, my review process. It’s also pasted at the end of this post. I don’t believe in Rotten Tomatoes. I just believe in me.)
(***all-purpose SPOILER ALERT*** there may be some in this review)
The mini-review:
acting 8
directing 7
effects 7
editing 7
writing 8
SW SCORE: 37
3.7 out of 5 🐙

British filmmakers just have THE formula when it comes to uplifting, inspiring, feel-good movies about working-class people. See also Billy Elliott, Blinded by the Light, Bend it like Beckham, and more. The Full Monty is a wonderful story about people doing the best to save their family, friends, and town. It’s hilarious and irreverent and will plaster a huge smile on your face if you have any heart at all.

Review process: (this is always evolving, I’m sad to say. I’m more of a watcher who makes mostly unhelpful observations about things I have absorbed. I am not unlike a pop culture blob.)
Two scores are assigned: (I don’t believe in Rotten Tomatoes. I just believe in me)
(1) Shark Wrighter (SW) Score: Based on a sum of 5 sub-scores (acting, directing, writing/story, cinematography &/or animation &/or effects, editing) with 1 being terrible and 10 being terrific.
(2) Octopuses (0-5 🐙, with 5 being fantastic and 0 being feces)
(3) Octopuses are my unquantifiable feeling…not that SW score is scientific…but this one is even less so.
(4) ++ This optional section includes any incredibly *brilliant observations that don’t fit into simple quantitative slices like the scores and octopuses *(they are likely NOT brilliant).
