The last F movie! We have arrived!
And it's such a good one, too! This has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it. Watching these average Joes pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and learn how to strip is mesmerizing. And not because they're good at it or look good doing it, just because you want them to do well. You want them to reach their goal and find work, even if it's stripping.
Their methods are unorthodox (practicing in an empty warehouse, stealing copies of Flashdance on VHS for inspiration, and practicing in front of their own family members) but the journey from idea to actualization is perfect. Secondarily, this movie's just fun to watch if you want to learn some good British slang.
This was nice to revisit again and yes, I still love it....14 years later.
