I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The women who gushed to see this film are accused of objectifying the strippers, well, when men ogle at films with lap or pole dancers, no one says a thing. This is sadly a double standard world and if we can also look at the small dreams of a male stripper who has a daytime job at a construction site ( Channing Tatum) who recruited a colleague ( Alex Pettyfer) and gets smitten with the latter's sister, the viewer is not isolated solely on the club rather presented a plausible story of holding onto your dreams whatever the means may be. Matthew McConnaughey in my eyes has a devilish , hilarious face that he must have carried on from his romcom days. The coaching scène in the dance studio left me in stitches. This is an entertaining film though geared towards the ladies didn't give any warning indicating that the men can't enjoy this film as well.

I have always heard mixed reviews about this movie. Some people loved it, others hate it. I was interested to actual watch it. My main thing, is why is their such good actors with such a predictable story? Obviously; they need drama and problems in movies. That's a given in nearly every movie. Otherwise it gets boring. But honestly, I was disappointed. The beginning, the dancing was good. But by the end of it, you were over it. You just wanted the movie to end. Let's not mention the chessy scene when Mike goes to see his life long friend Joanna and finds out she's engaged to the guy sitting next to her. To me, in real life, the guy would have been pissed, like who the heck does this Mike guy think he is walking in and being shocked that they were engaged? Bad acting and poor performance. He would have wanted to know what was really going on with this guy and his FIANCÉ!! Like seriously guys, come on! Unfortunately, This is just one of those movies that you watch and than never watch again. Really dissapointed! Don't think I will be watching number 2. Let's hope to god they don't make a number 3! Oh, and what's with the horriable editing?! For the whole movie, they added some chessy 2005 lighting to everything! Like the movie was made in 2012! Not 2005?! Overall; was left very confused.

Camryn Grimes was wonderful as the birthday girl. Never knew that she played Hugh Jackman's daughter in Swordfish (2001). Also Kate Easton was good in a short supporting role. To top the cherry, Alex Pettyfer who plays "The Kid" or Adam was the icing of the cake. His acting was unbelievable and priceless.Overall, a different movie experience.

I'm surprised how many people talking about this movie (and I mean talking it about casually. I haven't exactly read any other reviews or blog posts) leave out how good the story is. From what people have said I've just assumed it's a cute male stripper story, but there was a lot of depth left out. Sure, not all characters are deep and have a big reason for why they are stripping apart from money, but at least it's explained why the main character wants the money. It was interesting to see that Mike actually wanted to do something else because I didn't think that was the case at first.The story is an excellent drama with a lot of ups and downs both in the story and the writing itself. The whole idea is quite good, and it's interesting to see what is going to happen, bu a lot of the characters are left blank. Does the audience care about anyone else than Mike and maybe a little about Adam? It's like Channing Tatum is the only one giving life to this movie, and all the other actors are mere accessories. Without Tatum this movie would feel even more hollow. Visually this movie is amazing, and I'm not just talking about the cast. I mean the choreographic used in the dance numbers is excellent, and the colour scheme is extremely nice. I enjoyed this movie quite a lot, yet I have hard time figuring out why exactly. The story is good but not great, and that goes for many things in this movie, like the soundtrack, cinematography, etc. But I'd feel a bit horrible to say that the only thing that kept me interesting was all the hot men, because that wouldn't be true. I think it's Channing Tatum who makes this movie enjoyable - he's charming, funny and easy on the eye, and a lot better at acting than people say he is. He seems like an absolute sweetheart.
