1.0 out of 5 stars A misleading cover & title will disappoint most, November 27, 1997

Yes, the front cover does have the TFM movie poster on it, but that's pretty much the only connection this book has to this popular movie. This is NOT a book about the characters in TFM, nor a behind-the-scenes peek, nor even interviews with the people involved.

This is a light-hearted, frivolous look at the world of male strippers. There are silly quizzes and opinions from ordinary people but hardly anything directly referring to the movie, apart from a number of low quality black & white photos.

But even if you were seriously interested in the art of male stripping, this book is just too shallow to consider. Honestly, you are better off spending the money seeing the movie again instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars An american overview of the subject viewed without any irony, April 2, 1999

This book really is the type of publication that gets you no closer to the subject. If you enjoyed the film then this book just won't be for you. The words 'jumping on a bandwaggon in the hope of cashing in' come to mind. Far better to read the screenplay of the film, which is fully illustrated and contains contributions from the director and writer Simon BeaFoy.
