Now this film is funny, yet hard to explain why it's so funny. First of all the concept. Unemployed steelworkers stripping to make some cash. Add to that a gnome napping scene, a British sense of humour, and a Tom Jones tune and I think you get the gist of it all. But the main reason why this works is that they try to play it real. These are real, down and out people who have issues of pride at hand. Each stripper has their own motive to doing what many find so degrading. And it isn't a Demi Moore Striptease reason, with zero acting skills. These guys actually see stripping as their only alternative to the other disastrous consequences. Go rush out and see this movie, and you can keep your hat on too!
Grade: A-
