Magic Mike XXL

This was a really bad movie!

by Anonymousreply 54December 28, 2020 4:36 PM

I was appalled. It was like a low-budget grindhouse movie- but with men instead of Russ Meyer vixens.

Wayyy too much Jada Pinkett-Smith, badly miscast (as she is in anything).

And peculiarly unsexy.

I wonder if the actors knew they were knee-deep in shit? Or if they just don't know the difference?

It was dull, boring, utterly lacking in manflesh, and unsexy.

by Anonymousreply 2June 24, 2016 4:02 AM

You hoes are insane. Its a great movie but if you're looking for a typical male-stripper film i see where you would be disappointed. I loved the movie. The story was good and i like the retro art house direction of the film. Again- I understand the disappointment but i thought it was a great film and better than the first. Its more of an art house film than the popcorn flick the first one was.

Dancing was fab. Was there a story or plot?

Jada Pinkett Smith should have been nominated for an Oscar for her performance, but the Academy is racist.

Too bad the white guy with yellow skin wasn't in it. He would have made it better.

I mean, JESUS CHRIST this is a bad movie! Why is there almost no stripping? What were they thinking?

by Anonymousreply 7August 13, 2016 2:26 PM

I liked this better than the first one and Jada was fine in the movie. The only part that made me cringe was the scene with Andie Mcdowell.

It could have been bad-good, like "Mannequin." Instead it was just bad-bad, like "Mannequin 2: On the Move."

Aww i like Mannequin 2. At least MM XXL 2 had a good soundtrack.

Anything interesting was at the end and in longshot. Bullshit.

And "Stripper Convention." Give me a break.

Lets be grateful that Cody Horn wasn't in this one.

Hollywood is mortified by male flesh or too much male flesh so how does one make a movie with male strippers and not get too mortified? The answer : Magic Mike XXL

They know and we know that the majority of women don't care about male strippers or else there would be a club on each street corner. As it is now, you're lucky to find one catering for women in any city.

Only the gays love male objectification and Hollywood doesn't want to make a mainstream film objectifying men for gays

No they're sticking with television for that.

My only shock: That anyone was shocked that it was a horrible movie.

by Anonymousreply 21December 3, 2016 4:55 PM

It was better than part one which was full of plot holes. Jada Pinkett was definitely the worst part of the movie. The dancing was better this time around.

i tried to watch it, had to turn it off.

Today was the Razzies, and I thought of this movie.

It didn't win any, but it should have!

Jesus Christ, this is a bad movie!

Both Magic Mike movies were shockingly unsexy. It's like they purposely refused to give the audience what they wanted

by Anonymousreply 25February 25, 2017 6:21 PM

It's called bait and switch. The audience expects something (like hot stripping action) and get something totally different instead (character driven melodrama how male strippers are just like you and me *aaaaaaw*!).

I love male strippers; live, online, anything. But I fell asleep watching this tripe.

I didn't see either one but I could sense from a mile away that they were horrid. A cultural phenomenon for the Starbucks Soccer Mom set.

It was just talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk, feelings feelings feelings feelings feelings, sensitivity sensitivity sensitivity…

The best description of it is on IMDB and says it's like watching good looking people with great bodies and no sense of humor, being forced to do improv.

It could have been a funny movie about insecure men dealing with the underbelly of himboism, but it just has nothing to say.

Apparently the Las Vegas stage show is a disappointment as well.

Terrible movie bump

by Anonymousreply 34January 25, 2018 1:03 AM

What makes it a really good movie is that the dialogue seems real for these characters, unlike the ridiculous dialogue that screenwriters usually write. It was very believable, and a honest view of guys like these.

by Anonymousreply 35January 25, 2018 2:13 AM

Indiewire just ranked Magic Mike XXL one of the best movies of the decade! It came in at #26.

This doesn't surprise me as faggy David Ehrlich is the worst gay critic alive.

Good lord, this was a terrible movie.

"Each setpiece — from the tag-team finale to an impromptu gas station show that should be projected directly onto the Sistine Chapel — is choreographed with the joy and balleticism of a Yuen Woo-ping fight scene, and they’re all brought to life by characters who genuinely love each other. You can feel the weight of their friendship even when these men aren’t grinding on top of you with “Pony” blasting from the speakers so loudly that no one can hear the siren’s call of the future. Men didn’t look so great this decade, but in “Magic Mike XXL” they were beautiful inside and out. —DE"

I want to hit with my car.

The reason critics rave about it (the first one) is because of Sonderbergh's involvement. Because he was so daring (apparently) to tackle such a sordid subject like male strippers and turned it into a masteripiece of character driven melodrama.

Not true, r19.

Stripping for fraus is a big business.

Bomer showed more skin on the poster than in the movie.

I'm just grateful there was no Alex Pettyfer or Cody Horn.

by Anonymousreply 42August 2, 2019 6:18 AM

Fun fact: Cody Horn was only cast in Magic Mike not because she was Alan Horn's daughter - Alan Horn was not CEO of Warner Brothers any more at the time of production - but because she was writer/producer Reid Carolin's girlfriend.

Another fun fact: Reid Carolin is prettier than her.

It's a bad movie but I really enjoyed it. When I am feeling down and want mindless fun, I like to put it on.

I still can't believe an actual plot point for this film is that Andie MacDowell's character has such a gaping vagina that she can take Big Dick's massive cock with ease.

I was surprised just how unsexy and fun these movies were. You'd think it would just be a hot, funny entertainment but they tried too hard to make them "serious movies"

R50 it's better than the first. No Cody or Alex and it's not as serious.
