Movie: Magic Mike
Basic Plot: Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey are male strippers and then not a whole lot really happens other than some stripping and some chick gets mad at Channing for corrupting her little brother but then later bangs him.
I'm Okay With: The fact that I actually saw this movie and kind of liked it despite it being about male strippers. The fact that you get to see Olivia Munn's boobs in this movie. The fact that Mike thinks of himself as a good businessman, but also thought he could get a bank loan by just sweet-talking the loan manager. The fact that Mike's main love interest looks very 'meh' in a bikini and they still cast her. The fact that Mike works three or four job during the day and then strips at night and still finds time to sleep. The fact that during a hurricane all of the main characters have big party instead of fleeing or boarding up their homes.
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that when Magic Mike quits stripping as Matthew McConaughey's main stripper, McConaughey promotes the new guy as his new number one instead of one of the four other guys that have been there a long time. I don't blame you if you haven't seen this movie, but it wasn't that bad and at the beginning, Mike works with four other guys at McConaughey's strip club. At one point, Mike befriends a guy who is down on his luck and introduces him to the world of make stripping. At the end of the movie, Mike gets fed up with McConaughey's bullshit and quits. So what does McConaughey do? Does he promote one of the other four strippers to be his main guy? No, he gives the job to the least experienced and biggest fuck-up of the group (I should mention that the new guy was selling ecstasy while stripping at private events which led to him being hunted by the dealers when he lost the drugs). That's just bad business and we all know it's going to end badly when the new guy does something else stupid. I am not okay with that.
"And yes, Matthew McConaughey does say 'All right all right all right' at least once in this movie." |
