The movies that made money (Blockbusters) were all male oriented, because it was believed that men go to see more movies.<br /><br />The whole point I was trying to make, though, is that movies can aspire to be better than just eye candy, and when they succeed, people shouldn't be so caught up with labels like "Chick flick" or whatever that they stop themselves from seeing something good. <br /><br />If Magic Mike had been a good movie, I would have had no issue with all the Tatum-Abs. As it was... I still had no qualms with the Tatum-Abs, but I did have to sit through a mediocre movie, and that was a bummer. Even if I did get to see Olivia Munn's rack (briefly).Beefy Muchachohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030529703415235545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950097146074968395.post-25261790608624750252012-07-23T15:34:51.981-04:002012-07-23T15:34:51.981-04:00Call me when there's full frontal. I remember ...Call me when there's full frontal. I remember an old magazine cover talking about how Burt Reynolds had started a "male nudity craze". The fact is that the tons of movies have tits with no man eye candy so far outweigh any movies catering to the female gaze and even this one HAD to have boobs.

But, your review has convinced me that it's not a movie I want to pay even matinee prices to see. I'll catch it on cable one day, maybe.Laurienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950097146074968395.post-57441780583858283422012-07-12T11:28:43.033-04:002012-07-12T11:28:43.033-04:00I'm going with a group of girls to see it tomo...I'm going with a group of girls to see it tomorrow. Total cliche, but a good excuse for a girl's night out, and no reasonable expectation of the movie actually being "good". None of my friends were interested, though, until I said the words "Channing Tatum," which I always find surprising, because the man does absolutely nothing for me. Matt Bomer has been my #1 celebrity guy for...a long time. Thank you Mr. Soderbergh and Mr. Soderbergh's casting director, for giving me a reasonable excuse to stare at my guy, shirtless, for 1 hour and 50 minutes.
