Thank you. If she had played his mother, that would have made for an awfully kinky movie! :laugh:

The local reviewer gave it zero out of four stars.

I thought, "OK, 2 hours of eye-candy-- I can handle that." Then they started talking, and I realized I couldn't stand 2 hours of it. Then I saw Matt Bomer, looking disoriented and wondering "What in hell am I doing here?" Good question Matt. Go back to White Collar and your hunky FBI boyfriend and the kinky slave anklet he makes you wear. You don't belong in this movie! I can't believe a bunch of men, even straight men, would behave like that. Does Magic Mike 2 promise even more of this bizarre behaviour? Or was MM1 all just a gigantic send-up that I stupidly missed?

I don't really understand this objection. Of course men behave like that. Never heard of the Chippendales? I think I read somewhere that the movie was based on a magazine article about such a place.
I'm not a big male-stripper enthusiast, but I thought the movie was pretty good. As for MM2, I'll wait and see what the reviews say.
serious crayons:
Still another question, x: why would you be so surprised that men would do that? Surely you're aware that women do it all the time, even if you've never been to a strip club yourself they are a familiar setting in movies. Why is it so hard to believe men would do the same thing as a way to earn money?
