Magic Mike

I went to see the movie today. It was OK, but definitely not what I thought it would be.

Not enough Matthew, too much "the kid", story didn't develop like I thought it would. Channing was good though.

Yeah, I can definitely say the plot was lacking...but what made up for it was the scenery!

My sister loved it for the scenery. She called giddy about it yesterday, saying I have to see it. Well, McConaughey and Channing Tatum don't really do much for me, so... not rushing off. I like a good plot and story when I watch a movie, and the whole beefcake thing doesn't appeal to me. But a lot of my women friends have seen it and loved it, so, to each her own.

Right there with you Sherri. Just not my thing either. I don't get what all the hype is about. It's like the 50 Shades of Grey thing. I need substance in my books and movies, most of the time. All I can guess is that some people lead REALLY sheltered lives.

Oh, Natalie, you do not want to get me started on 50 Shades. I will spare you my rant, and it's not about the erotic content as much as on the quality of writing. There's no telling what will be a big hit with the public. Just no telling. I wish there was. Of course, I'm jealous of the success, so... I'll stop now.

Haven't seen the movie yet but want to. Every now and then you need a good mindless movie to watch (the one where you know the plot is dumb or the acting is bad, i.e. Lifetime type movies, ha). Channing Tatum is good eye candy! I heard today that a sequel was confirmed.
