Comedy drama starring Robert Carlyle, Tom Wilkinson and Mark Addy. Unemployed Sheffield steelworkers Gaz and Dave come up with a bold plan to restore their fortunes and capitalise on their assets - taking their clothes off for money. But just how far should they go to please the audience?
When the going gets tough, the tough get go-going, in director Peter Cattaneo's highly engaging, genuinely poignant and hilarious full-frontal comedy drama. Robert Carlyle plays a divorced father who forms a strip act along with a group of other unemployed Sheffield steelworkers while trying to maintain joint custody of his son. Well endowed with side-splitting laughter and brilliantly performed by the superb ensemble cast, this is about men's emotional shortcomings as much as their dirty dancing techniques, and is jam-packed with many wonderful moments - the would-be Chippendales of the North absent-mindedly gyrating to the radio in a dole queue is simply inspired.
