Sheffield, England. Gaz, a jobless steelworker in need of quick cash persuades his mates to bare it all in a one-night-only strip show.
Acting
Carlyle's Gaz is chaos personified; Wilkinson's Gerald breaks your heart.
Writing
Simon Beaufoy's script finds poetry in dole queues and doleful men.
Score
Donna Summer and Tom Jones weaponized for maximum British absurdity.

Director
Peter Cattaneo
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Released during Tony Blair's 'Cool Britannia,' it unexpectedly became the UK's highest-grossing film ever— a working-class rebuke to glossy London-centric cinema.
