Matthew McConaughey couldn't even save this...

Originally seeing the trailer for this i knew it was about the male stripper trade however despite the content of the film i usually make a point of seeing anything that Matthew McConaughey stars in as he is cooler than the other side of my pillow. Still waiting for a film to be made starring all my faves Daniel Day Lewis, Sean Penn, Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo Dicaprio, Jack Nicholson etc... Anyhow to get rapidly back on track here...the film was another dissapointment of 2012 I can usually ignore not so great storylines however " Magic Mike" made the cardinal boo-boo...pointless storyline! Ok i get that this was about the bromance between the chief antagonists in the film played by both Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer, however it still ended with no vaild point being made about the film. ...

Magic Mike review

Definitely not the male version of Striptease since this has more depth in terms of the 2 leads. Not one of best from the Director either. Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) works in a male strip club owned by Dallas (Matthew McConaughey). Adam (Alex Pettyfer) befriends Mike and introduces him to his sister Brooke (Cody Horn). The film focuses on the friendship of Mike and Adam. Choreography was near perfection, soundtrack apt and McConaughey spectacular and committed to his role. Despite the light plot the intent of representing temptation (Adam), admitting ones mistakes/transformation (Mike), and sisterly love (Brooke) was good. Another weak link was Tatum, whose acting just doesn't satisfy in this critics perception while Horn feels miscast with a non-chalant performance. Had some nice humor t...

Three words: Channing Tatum and Stripping!

I am sure by now all the ladies have heard about the latest light porno flick, Magic Mike starring Channing Tatum's, a movie where every woman's fantasy comes true and we got to see Channing Tatum do what he does best, DANCE….

For those of us in the dark, Mike plays an entrepreneur by day and an exotic dancer by night at Xquisite, a club which is owned and ran by Dallas (Matthew McConaughey). Alex Pettyfer co-stars as pretty boy Adam, a 19 year old former high school football star who just moved to Florida to live with his sister Brooke (Cody Horn), after losing his college football scholarship. Adam later meets Mike at a club and secures himself a regular job there. He is seduced by the carefree life of nonstop parties, drugs, alcohol, sex and easy money which doesn't sit well with hi...

Great Abs, Good Story

This is a fun movie to see with your friends. I got the pleasure of seeing it on opening night and was not dissapointed. On a side note there was not one guy in the place. People go for the hot guys taking it all off, and there is a very real story in the margins. There were places where you get a little pissy cause of where they cut the scene and others they could have cut a little earlier. Was impressed by the cast, a little bit of a spoiler if you like Matthew McConaughey...a little butt action, that is all I am going to say about that. I very much enjoyed this film and will be purching it when it comes out...maybe even 2 copies. If you like hot guys in no shirts this is for you, if you like to laugh this is also for you. Guys if you want to see it go see it, it is more for the...
