Magic Mike XXL review

In A Snap: No Plot Hot Moves

Overall Impression: Funny, good moves and really entertaining

Hesitation: Plot is paper thin, seriously.

Applauding: Nice moves, more twerky and simulation than that big finger

The Longer Version:

Ok, I walked in with no real expectations of anything but hot bodies and grinding action. I was not disappointed. Well, on the upside there wasn’t an attempt to disguise the nature of the movie. The little jokes on the new age spirituality in the form of Ken was pretty funny.  And the rather impossible combination of buff male entertainer and Backstreet Boys fan was campily brought to life in the store girl scene. For one, I will never listen to that Backstreet Boy song without cracking up! Plus the male brudderhood bonding/support outside the store front was a straight sendup of the original Backstreet video LOL.

The diversion to the subscription-based entertainment club was a bit of a drag though the action was passable. As was the cougar party.

Overall, fun grind run, lots of eye candy. High on the unintended and cheesy humour. Overextended music video feel.

Fave Scenes: the workshop scene (now now ladies, we know that men don’t fantasise about sex all the time ~crude snort~ ), impressing the store assistant/cashier (who knows, Backstreet Boys might come back ~ok, I really prefer the film crew dancing, I’m a realist~) and the stripper convention dances!

Fave Lines: A toss up between glass shoes and there are 3000 other women even if you’re not in the boy phase!

 
 
Here’s the trailer for those who are awaiting the DVD LOL
