coxpnw The first Magic Mike I watched in our movie room with my girlfriends. I think we all were completely in awe and more than turned on with the first movie. It was more than hot, exciting and definitely what us women wanted and have been waiting for all this time. There was an actual plot in this movie unlike what we assumed there would be none. I really enjoyed the movie, the men, the plot and movie was great. Now this movie have completely lost everything. I actually tried watching it several times, the first and second time I really fell asleep which should absolutely never happen with Magic Mike. Basically the last ten minutes is the only time you see Magic Mike or Channing dancing and taking it off. Hello isn't that why we are watching this movie? Ya not impressed.

SnoopyStyle Mike (Channing Tatum) is working his dream of making furniture but he's barely scrapping by. Dallas has left the Kings of Tampa behind and the guys are looking for one last blow-out. Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello), Tarzan (Kevin Nash), Ken (Matt Bomer), Tito (Adam Rodriguez), and MC Tobias (Gabriel Iglesias) are going on a road trip to a convention in Myrtle Beach run by Paris (Elizabeth Banks). When Tobias gets hurt in a crash, Mike recruits Rome (Jada Pinkett Smith) who brings along Andre (Donald Glover). Mike falls for Zoe (Amber Heard) but the guys are joined by her mother Nancy Davidson (Andie MacDowell) and her friends.I like the first thirty minutes or so. It kept some of the Soderbergh style. I like Manganiello who is very charming and a little funny. I love him in the convenient store. It's the most innocent fun and I wish the movie stays with that feel. The movie should stay with the six guys having misadventures on the road on their way to the big gig. Then it tries to replace Matthew McConaughey with Jada Pinkett Smith. Matthew stole the first movie. Jada seems to be trying to repeat the feat but it's not the same. Then it tries to inject Glover in with the group which only jumbles up the chemistry once again. The Andie MacDowell section is interesting and it would be great as a companion scene to other more humorous scenes. The last thirty minutes is a long series of stripper performances. I'm sure it's orgasmic for middle aged girlfriends drinking their wines but it gets pretty boring for me. I like the first act but the movie loses a little bit of chemistry when it sets aside Iglesias.

Lakisha Ferguson The only negative I had with this movie was the Tito character- his hair was horrible and I just didn't find his dancing that good. Tarzan's wasn't good either but hey I give him a break bc it's freakin Kevin Nash... I just finished watching this on HBO and I must say I'm tempted to purchase the DVD. Although I don't find him very sexy my opinion is quickly changed when Channing Tatum danced in 2 Particular scenes in this. His performance at the "pleasure house" had me wishing I was one of those women he danced on (OMG). Then there's the finale with him and Twitch (I have to pause and gather myself bc I found Twitch to b soooo Sexy in this, I mean his body is banging and Mmm can that man dance). Probably one of the sexiest scenes I've seen in awhile PERIOD. Although I don't care for that particular type of RnB (present day mostly) it worked perfectly in those 2 scenes because the bass was knocking, it just added to the overall sexy ass environment... I'm 27 and I've never been to a strip club, now I'm not sure I want to bc I'm afraid the talent won't b as Amazing as Channing or Twitch lol...

Jo Evans OK so I liked the first magic mike mainly just for the dancing, as not the best story. So all the advertising for this near when it was due out wanted to see it & didn't get round to it, then hearing amber beards in it just lately I decided to get it out as I find her fascinating , I thought I would be in for sexy stuff between her & Tatum, & he'd have amazing moves again this time round.. How wrong this film is BORING you hardly see Heard & Mike & the boys just seem to stroll from one pointless nothing scene to the next & I was left wondering why & what they had gone to different places.. The dance scenes at some houseof male strippers was lame, watching a man try to throw a obese woman in the air was cringe worthy. Their was nothing in any of the dances including mikes that was sexy.. There's 20minutes of the film left to go maybe it will have a OK ending but I won't hold my breath over this dreary cack
