Didn't matter if you liked it or not or if you didn't want to either see Dudes stripping or female nudity (the latter being said by a female friend of mine who minded that being on 'display'), it did have something to tell.

But you couldn't say that it didn't have a story. You could fault the first Magic Mike for many things.

I hope Channing Tatum who also served as a producer feels a smidgen of shame. This is a cash in of the most cynical kind. What we get are a bunch of guys yakking, some very annoying hip hop music and the dancing is not interesting or sexy and I am sure even the females would be bored with the lack of flesh or just not interested to see wrestler Kevin Nash baring even his chest. The sequel has no Soderbergh, no Matthew McConaughey and no script. The first Magic Mike was directed by an Oscar winning director, had a story even though the script and characters were clichéd and had some arty shots with too much yellow as Steven Soderbergh tried to present his movie as some kind of experimental film with a lot of male flesh. Well my wife fell asleep watching this which basically tells you all you need to know about this garbage. It already has had a scornful review from me but hold on, here is a late contender. I thought Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 would be the most horrendous sequel I will see this year. I like the first act but the movie loses a little bit of chemistry when it sets aside Iglesias. I'm sure it's orgasmic for middle aged girlfriends drinking their wines but it gets pretty boring for me. The last thirty minutes is a long series of stripper performances. The Andie MacDowell section is interesting and it would be great as a companion scene to other more humorous scenes.

Then it tries to inject Glover in with the group which only jumbles up the chemistry once again. Jada seems to be trying to repeat the feat but it's not the same. Then it tries to replace Matthew McConaughey with Jada Pinkett Smith. The movie should stay with the six guys having misadventures on the road on their way to the big gig. It's the most innocent fun and I wish the movie stays with that feel. I like Manganiello who is very charming and a little funny. Mike falls for Zoe (Amber Heard) but the guys are joined by her mother Nancy Davidson (Andie MacDowell) and her friends. When Tobias gets hurt in a crash, Mike recruits Rome (Jada Pinkett Smith) who brings along Andre (Donald Glover). Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello), Tarzan (Kevin Nash), Ken (Matt Bomer), Tito (Adam Rodriguez), and MC Tobias (Gabriel Iglesias) are going on a road trip to a convention in Myrtle Beach run by Paris (Elizabeth Banks). Dallas has left the Kings of Tampa behind and the guys are looking for one last blow-out. Mike (Channing Tatum) is working his dream of making furniture but he's barely scrapping by.
