Well, I
went for the hot bods. I certainly wasn't disappointed, but you could say that I
stayed because I thought the movie was, in parts, very funny. And I thought Matthew McConaughey was absolutely perfect and absolutely hysterical--and intentionally so. I laughed fit to piss myself at his character's antics.
Something that struck me as ironic:
Spoiler alert!To the best of my knowledge, Matt Bomer was the only gay actor in the cast of principals; add to that, "out-partnered-and-raising-kids." Yet his character was the only one who was married. As in, "to a woman."
I also found the ending a little bit unsatisfying. I went into the film understanding that it was
based on Channing Tatum's experiences as a stripper when he was, what? 19 years old? But maybe, for me,
inspired would be a better word than
based. I figured Alex Pettyfur's character, Adam, more-or-less represented Tatum, but, apparently, at the end, Adam wasn't getting out of the business, as Tatum clearly did. That's OK, I guess, but I found myself caring as much for Adam as for Mike, maybe more so, and I would like to know what became of Adam. I guess he went to Miami. ...
