Those of you who know me know I am a big Channing Tatum fan. Big as in huge. As in enormous. As in those extra eight inches, uh, I mean those extra four inches huge erect edifice big huge.
How big? This big!
But man oh man I DNF’d Magic Mike after twenty excruciating minutes of embarrassment. It’s awfulness embarrassed me - not personally, as in I wasn’t personally embarrassed for watching, or attempting to watch the movie, but because it was sooooo piss-poor terrible. Cringe-worthy. Came very close to grossing me out.
Story?
What story?
We got naked male butts, we don’t need no stinkin’ story!
Uh, yeah, sorry honey, you do need a story.
A butt out of context, no matter how stacked, is just a butt.
A butt.
I’ve yet to watch the movie. Sorry you had to DNF it.
I knew this one was going to be a stinker. I saw bad reviews for it, and everyone who saw it was disappointed.
I forced Natty and hubby to watch PITCH PERFECT and they BOTH loved it! Even hubs! And Natty already downloaded all the music.
I haven’t seen it and now I don’t have to. Thanks for the review. Love the quote, out of context, a butt is just a butt.
You’re welcome, Stephanie. Very disappointing! Butts notwithstanding.
Total stinker, Pens. Shockingly awful. I gotta watch Pitch Perfect.
Don’t waste your time, Amber. Sucks. So sad cuz I love Channing Tatum.
I’d never had much interest in this, and now I’m glad I won’t be disappointed LOL. I’m soooo glad we agree that nudity and gratuitous sex doesn’t make up for no story. these things are spices to a story, not a substitute.
I agree 100% Ciara. Absolutely.
Hmm, won’t be on my must see list. Am hearing good things about Silver Lining though.
How true this is.
However-and be honest-how many times will you look at the picture again? No, not the one of Jimmy Stewart, the one of the bare butt. You know: the “butt out of context is just a butt” one.
Sometimes eye candy and buttered popcorn trump story line, and Hollywood counts on that. Do you know how many females went to see this…and bought/rented the DVDs?
I didn’t, and thanks to your review, I won’t bother now. But the picture is nice…not the kind of on-your-Christmas-card nice. The other kind of nice…
Oh Sandra, I can’t wait to see Silver Linings! And I’m not a Bradley Cooper fan.
You know Marylin, because the character was so one-dimensional and in some ways, reprehensible, it wasn’t even eye candy. Coming in the very very beginning it was more for shock effect. Shocking! I mean shocking that it wasn’t interesting!
Yeah I think people watched it for the eye candy..
I think so too, Savannah. But in 20 minutes the only appealing character was the guy who plays Alcide in True Blood. Joe Whatshisame. By appealing I mean he was somewhat interesting and likable.
