I watched this the other day and I kinda think after watching, it wasn't so much an apprehension of dudes watching a movie about male strippers but simply not being interested in that topic or story. I swear the way I feel about the movie is basically kinda the story; it was fun to watch at first and so was the idea of it but half way through it bored me and I lost interest but I stuck with it. You can get past the half naked dudes dancing but the drug use, chilling on the beach, random hook up scenes were just so average. Whoever was playing "The Kid" didn't do a good job (I think it was the same dude in In Time). Another one of those movies that didn't need to be almost 2 hrs. So for me it was just ok. Found myself fast forwarding past the dance montages after a while. I was just waiting to see if Mike smashed dude's sister or actually had a come up. The way this movie turned out almost made me feel right about this usual predetermined feeling of dread when I see Channing Tatum is in a movie. Like I aint seeing white house down or olympus has fallen.So, I'm watching Magic Mike and it's not bad, but may be a little too stylized for me. All the filters, alternative camera angles and slow-mo was a little much.
At least I got to see Olivia Munn's **** though.
21 Jump Street was funny though. I think Tatum should do more comedies.
I been dodging this when I been looking for movies on my bored/free time late at night on demand. Thanks for the review, I'll just ignore it now.Just saw Chernobyl Diaries....good god, I want my hour back. Thank god I didn't pay to see this crap.
Great concept, but poorly executed. The first hour and 30 mins is pure crap. Then there's the rest 30 mins of actually something going on. And out of those 30 mins its running away.
Woulda been so much better if they took the Hills have Eyes approach. Especially in that setting where it's already creepy based on the location ALONE.
Had very high hopes for it.
Every time I saw them pile up I just wished they had a Russian dude with a RPD mowing them down , make it interesting at least .
