Just awesome like that
I have heard it's surprisingly decent, and from what I've seen of it it looks like an indie flick that accidentally was given a huge budget and a big name as a star.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.
Is this out in cinemas yet? I keep seeing trailers for it every time I visit the cinema and it looks ike it could be fun but at the same time the trailers arent giving me a good impression of the female character. All she seems to do is talk about his job in a negative way even when their supposed to be having fun at the beach but since these are only glimpses of various scenes all strung together and lacking the full context and all the clips of him show him to be perfectly nice guy its not clear to me whether his attitude/behaviour is justifying what she says or if shes just unable to look past what he does for a living and see the perfectly nice guy before her :(
Watched it with my wife. It was good. There was some excellent dancing, she got to watch a lot of pretty guys flounce around without much on (although she finds the whole "shaking the crotch in their face" thing hilarious), and the movie does a good job of making the dancers look good while acknowledging that it's a job with a lot of hazards and no real retirement plan.
I have to admit that I'm a bit skeptical on the idea of a sequel... they did a pretty good job of having Mike make a break from all of it. I'm guessing (not having read any plot summaries for the sequel) that something will happpen, maybe the Miami club getting into financial trouble, and he'll suit up like a retired action hero to save everyone. Still...
Ah. And apparently they all get back together for a stripping competition. Eh... I can buy that.
Incidentally, after reading up a bit more about him, I wonder whether Kevin Nash's character, Tarzan, being sidelined by a leg injury to give The Kid a motivation to dance is meant as a joke about Nash's tendency to get injured very easily in the ring.
A movie about the trials and tribulations of a group of male strippers, starring Channing Tatum and directed by Steven Soderbergh.
Admittedly, I wasn't really planning to watch this movie given its premise, but it seems like a decent movie
from the general critical consensus

You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!
