Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

SnoopyStyle Mike (Channing Tatum) is working his dream of making furniture but he's barely scrapping by. Dallas has left the Kings of Tampa behind and the guys are looking for one last blow-out. Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello), Tarzan (Kevin Nash), Ken (Matt Bomer), Tito (Adam Rodriguez), and MC Tobias (Gabriel Iglesias) are going on a road trip to a convention in Myrtle Beach run by Paris (Elizabeth Banks). When Tobias gets hurt in a crash, Mike recruits Rome (Jada Pinkett Smith) who brings along Andre (Donald Glover). Mike falls for Zoe (Amber Heard) but the guys are joined by her mother Nancy Davidson (Andie MacDowell) and her friends.I like the first thirty minutes or so. It kept some of the Soderbergh style. I like Manganiello who is very charming and a little funny. I love him in the convenient store. It's the most innocent fun and I wish the movie stays with that feel. The movie should stay with the six guys having misadventures on the road on their way to the big gig. Then it tries to replace Matthew McConaughey with Jada Pinkett Smith. Matthew stole the first movie. Jada seems to be trying to repeat the feat but it's not the same. Then it tries to inject Glover in with the group which only jumbles up the chemistry once again. The Andie MacDowell section is interesting and it would be great as a companion scene to other more humorous scenes. The last thirty minutes is a long series of stripper performances. I'm sure it's orgasmic for middle aged girlfriends drinking their wines but it gets pretty boring for me. I like the first act but the movie loses a little bit of chemistry when it sets aside Iglesias.

MLDinTN The whole story line behind this movie was awful; how did it ever get the green light. It's basically a road trip with male strippers to one last final shin dig. Of course they have car trouble and must reach out to an old acquaintance for help. They do this at a house full of male strippers. Then there's the girls they meet on the beach.There is one good scene in this and that is at the convenience store and involves smiling, a bottle of water, and Cheetos.The ending is their new dance routine at the stripper convention. It's eye candy, just not interesting.FINAL VERDICT: Don't watch the movie, just watch the convenience store scene online.

Davis P Magic Mike XXL was actually a pretty darn good film. The film is directed beautifully! I mean really Magic Mike XXL is just directed beautifully and it's filmed wonderfully. And the acting by all the cast is just great I was so pleased with the acting in this movie. Jada Pinkett Smith blew me away, I thought she did a fantastic job here! Also Matt bomber Channing Tatum Joe and Amber heard all did a great job! You could really tell that everyone was just so passionate about this movie and really cared a lot when they were making it! Now as for the choreography and the stripping and the hot dancing, they freaking nailed it! The stripper sequences were so sexy and well choreographed! But this movie is more than what you think it is, it's not just about hot men. There are some very heartfelt moments with great acting, and I was pleased that it was actually a quality film and not just a porno. Andie McDowell was great, she fit her role so perfectly! She was spot on with the lines and sexy mature dialogue! God her part was just so well written! And like I said before, the writing is well written and very dramatic. I absolutely loved the great chemistry between all the characters! I mean all cast members were so close and had really awesome relationships. And then of course it's freaking awesome to see the hot thongs and Joe's chiseled abs, oh my dear Jesus! Joe had my full and undivided attention the entire time, and so did Channing and Matt of course. I give Magic Mike XXL an 8/10.

gdpdpm I'll be honest: as a female I just wanted to see beautiful male bodies dancing- that's what I came for, not the plot, not the story line, not even the acting really. Loved seeing Channing work his amazing body!!! A very talented, watchable dancer. Loved the convenience store routine with Joe. Loved the finale scene with Channing and tWitch. There were some good moments and some funny moments here and there. Could it have been better, sure. And by that I mean more dance time- with less clothes on- for Channing, Joe and and Matt. This is why I liked the first one better- at least their pants came off more often! The fact that both movies did well at the box office speaks to the market for more (even better done) movies that showcase male entertainers for the viewing pleasure of women (and men) who appreciate it.
