| Magic Mike Movie Blurb by Shale June 29, 2012
I have been anticipating this movie for some time and def had to see it on opening day. A lot of women on forum boards and IRL said they wanted to see this flick as well, for mainly the same reason that I wanted - Hot Guys Stripping.
Actually, I was curious if it would be only female audiences and today on Regal South Beach, first matinee at noon there were about 30 ppl in the theater. Only five guys; myself, two guys together, another single and one with a woman. The rest were all women.
Magic Mike (Channing Tatum) is living the good life for a guy in his prime, working at a strip club, making good money and bedding lots of girls. Except Mike who's nearing 30 has other aspirations and creativity that he wants to develop. Mike meets Adam (Alex Pettyfer) at one of his day gigs doing roofing. Adam is 19, full of attitude, a bit naive but still likeable and Mike sort of takes him under wing when they meet again that night and Adam starts working at the strip club. Mike meets Adams more down to earth sister Brooke (Cody Horn) who is not too pleased that her little bro is now a stripper, but you know she has to come around to Mike's charms (who wouldn't).
Of course this movie has a down side but not much of a downer involving the business end of strip clubs and the problems of young ppl playing with dope. But overall it was really a fun time and an enjoyable movie.
BTW, you know Channing Tatum is well cast in this flick - he used to do strip clubs. Interestingly, I first saw him in the movie Step Up in 2006, probably not too far removed from the stripping days. There is a dance number in this movie reminiscent of the moves he did in that movie. I guess What Goes Around - Comes Around (Alex Pettyfer's Tat).

| Good review Shale I think some people had the idea it was 110 minutes of stripping (not that I would have had a problem with that lol). With Steven Soderbergh they should have known better. I already knew about some of the downside issues in the movie going in & thought they were well portrayed. Didn't know a lot about Channing Tatum other than what he looks like & thought he did a great job. I was impressed. Matthew McConaughey still has it going & the rest of the guys were fantastic especially Alex Pettyfer. Wouldn't mind seeing this again & I'm looking forward to the DVD with as many deleted scenes as possible. | |

Not crazy about the 3D gimmick in general but I would have definitely made the exception & paid the extra cash this time! All of those guys were well cast & Alex Pettyfer is so damn cute! | |
