Great Film overall

A Masterpiece!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Yes I get it. Add Flashdance and 54 together and today you get Magic Mike. I hate remakes, but this one is a good remake of Hollywood.

I have always heard mixed reviews about this movie. Some people loved it, others hate it. I was interested to actual watch it. My main thing, is why is their such good actors with such a predictable story? Obviously; they need drama and problems in movies. That's a given in nearly every movie. Otherwise it gets boring. But honestly, I was disappointed. The beginning, the dancing was good. But by the end of it, you were over it. You just wanted the movie to end. Let's not mention the chessy scene when Mike goes to see his life long friend Joanna and finds out she's engaged to the guy sitting next to her. To me, in real life, the guy would have been pissed, like who the heck does this Mike guy think he is walking in and being shocked that they were engaged? Bad acting and poor performance. He would have wanted to know what was really going on with this guy and his FIANCÉ!! Like seriously guys, come on! Unfortunately, This is just one of those movies that you watch and than never watch again. Really dissapointed! Don't think I will be watching number 2. Let's hope to god they don't make a number 3! Oh, and what's with the horriable editing?! For the whole movie, they added some chessy 2005 lighting to everything! Like the movie was made in 2012! Not 2005?! Overall; was left very confused.

It has its occasional humor bits but the majority of it is just trash. The best part was finding out that Brooke is played by Cody Horn. Her father is the chairman of Walt Disney Studios and was, formerly, the president of Warner Bros. I guess she had connections. Her mother was a model too. Matthew McConaughey was in great shape for this but what male stripper wouldn't be. Not very good or funny, but worth a glance on cable. Don't go out of your way or take too much time to watch it. In my book, not worth male watching unless you are with a female that might be in to the strippers. I need to keep adding lines to get the review published, so I will continue as long as needed to get something done.

I actually like dancing films and Channing Tatum is lead in one of the first "newer" ones of the sort, Step Up and it was fun to see at that point that you could mix beats and classical with ballet and hip hop.I have been wanting to see this and then again maybe not so much, I thought it would be a fun film with a lot of references and jokes to the male stripper parts, but also with some great dance moves and just entertainment and then on the other side male strippers are for chicks most, so...I did like the film, it had a lot of fun things, for one the characters are all weird and flawed and having issues, but they are fun and say and do stupid, strange and crazy stuff like everybody would. But it is mostly for the chicks, if you do not see this film for the stripping parts, the naked male bodies, pumped up and in the spotlight on the dancing scene well then there is not that much else to see it for. The story is okay, classic romance for many parts, some rivalry, some chivalry and somebody gets hurt and so on and so forth, but it is average life displayed in different surroundings.See it for the dancing parts, see it for the romantic comedy it is, have fun and don't expect too much other then being entertained.
