I must agree with those who characterize this movie as overrated. It begins very well -- a grim look at the fate of workers made "redundant" by a changing economy. Soon the tone changes drastically, to that of the most hackenyed sitcom on American TV: "one of the guys needs money, so let's put on a show!" That the show happens to be male striptease is a juvenile gimmick. By the end, this becomes a shallow feel-good movie. But all that said, the movie is not without virtues, particularly the acting.
