I was looking for quality dance but ended up with seeing almost porn dance with clothes onSo disappointing..It is the first movie ever that I skip, I kept skipping all the boring conversations that were not finishing and had no meaning, just to look for some dance.I was disgusted...Sorry for using strong words but that's just what I felt like.The actors are so talented but unfortunately their talent was wasted.They could have made it a lot better movie with less sexual stuff but more quality dance and stuff.....

The first "Magic Mike" was a well disguised drama involving male strippers, "Magic Mike XXL" is just a straight-forward comedy about male strippers. Now the question is, "Is that a bad thing?". I'd say no. I didn't like it as much as the first one, but for a comedy sequel I'd say it's done pretty well. A lot of the cast returns, the story's more simplistic, and it's all about having a good time. It's not a soulless sequel only made to get money like "The Force Awakens" or something along those lines, it knows what it wants to be and it goes for it. That being said, there were some things I didn't like about the movie.One, Amber Heard, I know Cody Horn wasn't in the movie because reasons, but Heard's whole character just seems shoehorned into the movie. She's snarky, forgettable, and really only serves as a love interest for Channing Tatum. The funny thing is though, they don't get together at the end of the film, so it's like her being in this movie is completely pointless. Another thing I didn't like was Andie MacDowell (Nancy) and her group of like five friends. The group I've dubbed "Nancy & Co." also serve no purpose to the movie. The only reason they're in the movie is because the guys need a car, which could have been handled in like a third of the time. But instead, there's this really random stop to the movies momentum, as Nancy & Co. start discussing how they're unsatisfied with their lives/husbands. I'm sorry, did this just turn into an episode of "Desperate Housewives"? I guess the only real reason Nancy's in the movie is so she can have sex with Richie who's biggest problem is that no woman wants to have sex with him because his penis is "too big". Oh the humanity! If the biggest problem in your whole life is that your penis is "too big" I'd say you're doin' alright.If you want a movie that cleverly mixes comedy with drama, watch the first one. If you want a straight-forward comedy, watch this one. The movie's not bad, I had fun with it, but I'd rather watch the first one over this any day.

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.

I'll be honest: as a female I just wanted to see beautiful male bodies dancing- that's what I came for, not the plot, not the story line, not even the acting really. Loved seeing Channing work his amazing body!!! A very talented, watchable dancer. Loved the convenience store routine with Joe. Loved the finale scene with Channing and tWitch. There were some good moments and some funny moments here and there. Could it have been better, sure. And by that I mean more dance time- with less clothes on- for Channing, Joe and and Matt. This is why I liked the first one better- at least their pants came off more often! The fact that both movies did well at the box office speaks to the market for more (even better done) movies that showcase male entertainers for the viewing pleasure of women (and men) who appreciate it.
