A disappointment

Considering that Julie Walters was in this disappointment, it just doesn't gel. Sorry Julie, I thought it played flat and unfunny. Julie Walters can make a slipper appear a stilleto, but in this one it just doesn't get to the ball whatever. It promises alot and the 'boys' are a nice added bonus, but I wanted to take Maureen Hardcastle by the neck and throttle her for being such a mug. I didn't sympathise with her character at all and most of the dialogue is unfunny. The 'fantasy' scene's irritate but the costuming is excellent. Direction falls flat but the Production values are all great. Give it a miss except for another chance at watching Julie. She's a damn good actress but should have steered clear.

Male strippers in this hilarious quasi, Full Monty.

Julie Walters (Maureen Hardcastle) in a role that makes her shine with Robert Linsday (Billy Bowmans) playing a great ex-male stripper cum promoter.

When Jimmy Hardcastle brings in a troupe of strippers to boost his pub's revenues, Maureen, his wife is furious, especially when the star of the show turns out to be her long-lost school friend Billy Bowmans. Maureen becomes entrepreneurial with the idea of a ladies room, there are many laughs with a few twists. Don't let the title put you off it was worth the eight out of ten that I gave.
