I liked the first Magic Mike, I liked it a lot. I found it funny and interesting. It was entertaining. I thought that Channing Tatum was a really good dancer and, while watching, I regretted of not being a male stripper myself (beautiful life, lot of girls, you know…).But this one is terrible. Boring, depressing… I wonder who could really like it: girls? I doubt it. Men? Not a chance. I won't tell a word about the plot, as IMDb warns me not to do it. I will only state my disappointment for the lack of an entertaining story, a catching character or a good show. A terrible wasting of good actors and time.

Rare does a sequel live up to the original film. And Magic Mike XXL is no exception to the rule. You've to hand it to MM2: on the fluidity of race in America, and in the American South, so goes the story line. Are we in post racial America? No, we ain't,the more especially in the light of Charleston, SC. The narrative is stale, hackneyed, and downright dull. Even the dancing looks tired. Channing Tatum's talent is wasted. The film is full of psycho babble and hail thee good fellow and gal. And what's more the dancing is hardly 'erotic'. If you're looking for eye candy, don't waste your money on a ticket to this film. MM2 might make money. Still, MM3 isn't in the wings. And that's a blessing.

I watched Magic Mike XXL tonight. What a waste of time! I do like Channing Tatum but in this film he was lacking well everything. He stumbles through the film, always wearing the same backward cap. Apart from the dancing scenes, the film is very mundane. I was fast forwarding through most of it. I also didn't like the choice of actors like Kevin Nash and Amber Heard, in my opinion they can't act! Some of the music was good but overall boring.
