lol male strippers are so weird
I love Matthew Mcconaughey.
I don't know that I've ever seen C Tatum in anything before. He looks sort of dim.
I'll probably see this.

A dramatic comedy set in the world of male strippers, "Magic Mike" is directed by Academy Award(R)-winning director Steven Soderbergh ("Traffic") and stars Channing Tatum in a story inspired by his real life.

yeah, there was a bunch of press lately about how he used to be a stripper and the movie is loosely based on his experiences
― some dude, Thursday, 19 April 2012 02:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
Current trends suggest that every film will soon by directed by Steven Soderbergh. And star Michael Fassbender.

i have a lot of affection for Tatum, because he seems kind of like a dude. The only thing he's been good in is 21 Jump Street, though he is serviceable in Haywire.

Was just wondering how a thread hadn't been started on this one yet.
Wish there was a more ensemble vibe from the preview. There's a lot of, um, talent in this cast that didn't even show up in any of that footage.

Each of my gay irl friends that I've discussed the movie agreed with me, tho, that Tatum is maybe the least attractive member of this movie's stripper troupe. To gay men, anyway.

Eric is right, the whole Just Say No moralism of the second half was routine, and a drag. McConaughey hilarious throughout, and delivers the goods in his last number. Rest of the actors OK to good; I thought Pettyfer was serviceable since his sweet smile translates easily as a dim-bulb sign.

Soderbergh nailed the Tampa vibe. That's exactly how those long weekend sandbar parties are; that's exactly how those condo units look (and are decorated). After a while I blocked out the homilies and concentrated on the architecture like it was Claire Denis or Antonioni.

that probably depends on whether you define "most profitable" as how much more it made than its budget or how many times over it made back its budget -- i've never really been clear on which is the most popular definition

There's a big strip club in Windsor that's quite famous because they can get away with full frontal nudity and the American strip clubs can't. My bridal party wanted to go there for my bachelorette party but I didn't want too because it seemed pretty unappealing to me -- someone who had been there once told me you could see the crabs jumping off the guys' pubes.
