Monty is a bodybuilder. His gym is the very heart of his existence. He is aggressively male, outrageously narcissistic and a bigot...

"Flexing With Monty" has had a curious history -- shooting commenced in 1994, then was complicated by budgetary woes and the deaths of a leading actor and producer before assembly wrapped quite recently. Writer-director John Albo's first (and to date only) feature is a definite curiosity, though its muddled allegory and lack of a clear point grow quickly tiresome. Heavy on talk and thin on plot, the stagy piece seems designed mostly as a showcase for the physique of ex-boxer Trevor Goddard. Simultaneous with its DVD release, the pic is pursuing midnight screenings.

Six unemployed steel workers form a male striptease act. The women cheer them on to go for the full monty total nudity.
