Highly Overrated But Still Good

Best movie ever!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I was looking for quality dance but ended up with seeing almost porn dance with clothes onSo disappointing..It is the first movie ever that I skip, I kept skipping all the boring conversations that were not finishing and had no meaning, just to look for some dance.I was disgusted...Sorry for using strong words but that's just what I felt like.The actors are so talented but unfortunately their talent was wasted.They could have made it a lot better movie with less sexual stuff but more quality dance and stuff.....

You could fault the first Magic Mike for many things. But you couldn't say that it didn't have a story. Didn't matter if you liked it or not or if you didn't want to either see Dudes stripping or female nudity (the latter being said by a female friend of mine who minded that being on "display"), it did have something to tell. Now why do I say that? Because this movie does not have anything to say at all.Apart from men stripping (whether they have their shirts on or off shouldn't matter, it's not always about the pecs and flesh, but about what they do with their bodies) - and there is enough suggestions as to what they'd like to do. While that may seem tame to some (see some other reviews), it does seem risqué to some others (again reviews checking). But it does not hide the fact, that this rode trip is boring. Jada Pinkett Smith was surprisingly not nominated for an Oscar - even more surprisingly it wasn't the reason she boycotted the Oscars (I am kidding but feel free to like or dislike the joke).While the movie knows it doesn't have any plot it also does not have enough jokes to keep it up ... Yes that also intended

This film was perfect - sexy, silly, fun, cheesy, ridiculous, dancing, singing and focus on female pleasure. Yes, please - I'd gladly have some more! I can't believe I've only seen it now and it totally made my day - I remember trying to get a girls' party together to go to the cinema at the time but we could't quite manage - a pity. I would have loved to see it on a big screen surrounded by excited audience.This is the Magic Mike that I wanted - the first one was great as far as Channing Tatum's story was concerned however that "poor little spoilt boy" addition was quite unfortunate, unnecessary and unconvincing. I just didn't buy it. The love interest could have been a little more attractive as well. Well, never mind that now the good stuff arrived!Here we have everything: sight of fit naked backside in the first 3 minutes, a prank, Channing's wet-suit Mr Darcy moment, cheesy banter, "My Pony" solo and that's just the start. Fun all the way and focus on the right things: friendship, doing what you like and are good at, working at being a good performer, having fun and giving women what they want.Some moments are so cheesy that I laughed out loud - but it's meant to be a bit ridiculous and not taking itself seriously.I loved every minute of it. Even over-the-top faux romantic singing. Channing - yes. Yes. The best in hot and exciting dancing ever, hands down. He moves like he was born to dance - like he loves it. Poetry in motion, need I say more! I actually loved that there was no actual sex in this film - it reminds me of some of those teasing sex-bomb comedies from the 50s where women are portrayed as over-the-top sexy, cheesy and silly - only here we have a gender reversal. Perfect male-cheesecake film and oh so pleasing.

OK so I liked the first magic mike mainly just for the dancing, as not the best story. So all the advertising for this near when it was due out wanted to see it & didn't get round to it, then hearing amber beards in it just lately I decided to get it out as I find her fascinating , I thought I would be in for sexy stuff between her & Tatum, & he'd have amazing moves again this time round.. How wrong this film is BORING you hardly see Heard & Mike & the boys just seem to stroll from one pointless nothing scene to the next & I was left wondering why & what they had gone to different places.. The dance scenes at some houseof male strippers was lame, watching a man try to throw a obese woman in the air was cringe worthy. Their was nothing in any of the dances including mikes that was sexy.. There's 20minutes of the film left to go maybe it will have a OK ending but I won't hold my breath over this dreary cack
