True confession:
I saw “Magic Mike” last night. It was spectacularly awful, and the awfulness was not helped by the fact that there were only 12 people in the theater, so there wasn’t even a crowd reaction to help things along.
The acting was terrible (although Matthew M. was cheesily awesome (see picture below for evidence that there is plenty of cheese mixed in with the hot (waxed ’til they shine) bods)…kind of like the guy who played Cesar Flickerman in “The Hunger Games”…but not quite as good), the plot was MIA, and the ending…OMG, the ending. I will leave you with my exact words when I saw the credits roll (words that my friends said perfectly summed up what they were thinking, too):
“I sat through that crap for that?!?”
Matthew wears short shorts
A lot of my friends have seen this and no one has liked it. No one has revealed the ending to me but one of them said Matthew M was sleazy.
I really enjoyed watching this! I thought it was spectacularly awful and fun. Then again, the theatre I was in was packed with ladies having a good time. And I just like watching Channing Tatum dance. I think maybe you made the mistake of not wearing ear plugs during the dialogue….
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw your photo and caption. I haven’t seen this movie, and frankly it doesn’t interest me all that much. I am not a big fan of male strippers for some reason. I don’t knock anyone who is, but it just doesn’t work for me.
Oh, you are right the plot was awful, and so was the acting. But I guess you must have more action in your life than I do, because when those guys danced on stage, I thought my head was going to pop off from high blood pressure. Holy shit! It would have been fine with me if that is all the movie was.
I wasn’t planning on watching this, so I’m glad to hear that I don’t need to worry about what I might be missing.
And really – it wouldn’t have taken much to make us pay twice for the movie! That Channing Tatum has an incredible bod – but no one ever said he could act. Apparently he can’t produce a decent movie either.
I’ll go see Magic Mike just to see Matthew walk around in those short shorts!
I guess that’s a pass for me… we have a new movie theater I am so excited to go to, but really want that first time to be a great overall experience.
I haven’t seen this yet, but I will say I saw a scene (I think it might have been that one) and it was funny in a ridiculous way.
What … they didn’t have Channing Tatum in your version? I saw only him and forgot the rest of it. It does help to see it with a theater full of women.
Tried to get Jason to see this one but it was a no go. We ended up at Ted
