To see or not to see ... Magic Mike

in Chit-Chat
A couple friends are going to see Magic Mike Friday night and invited me. I have absolutely, 100% no interest in male strippers and what attracts me to men is not them dancing half-naked in front of me or having great pecs and a six pack. I know that's blasphemy on this site, but that's just how I feel.

I'd like to go have fun with my friends, but I don't want to pay for a movie I won't enjoy. So I looked up reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (it got 83%, though the reasons for the good reviews weren't very informative and I still don't know).

Anyway, some idiot posted the following review:
Haven't seen this and don't intend to, but had to comment on reviewer comparisons of this film to Boogie Nights. That is far too much of a stretch from what I see in its previews. This is a chick flick. Chicksploitation films I like to call them. Sex and romance. Boogie Nights most definitely wasn't this and rightfully has a classic film status that this film could never attain. However, if you want to pick up horny women or gay men after the movie, I suspect this film might be the one to see.

Now, it very well may be a craptastic movie, but if you haven't seen anything but previews, you can't KNOW it's a craptastic movie. Good grief.

    I'm not going to see it for the acting.

    That's like buying Playboy for the articles.

    I'm hopefully meeting up with a fellow MFP'er for a girls evening to see this. Nice eye candy, enjoyable company, and much needed time out of the house since I'm a sahm I don't get out much. So for me it's more than just the movie.

    My friend sent me a text last night asking if I wanted to see this.

    I seriously thought she was joking, so I made fun of her sooo badly.
    Turns out she really wants to go. And I also don't have a life, so I'm probably going to pre-game and tag along so that I can be the jerkoff in the audience constantly whistling every time I see them dance.

    This! hehe

    I can't wait to see it. Yes, there is SO much more to a guy (or woman for that matter) than what they look like, but I'm ok with ogling a few fine specimens once in awhile. I mean come on...Matthew Mcconaughey.. shirtless?? I'll watch that any day (and maybe twice on Sunday!)

    Me either. It IS going to suck. But I can't pass on that much eyecandy. I mean look at it!!

    But boogie nights is brilliant. It absolutely will not even compare to that.

    I'm not into male strippers, either, but I am into Matthew McConaughey!

    I also wasn't much into treasure hunters or wedding planners, but DEFINITELY - Matthew McConaughey!

    I'm gonna go watch it. You have any idea how many single women are going to be at the theater to go see that? I'm just gonna lift up my shirt and ask them if they wanna take "Magic Eduardo" home instead :laugh:

    ....and who knows, I may even burn a few extra calories watching it! haha

    Thank you, thank you. I'm revolutionizing the way men should approach "chick flicks." Why avoid them when there is so much untapped potential in one space?

    And yes, pun intended when I say "untapped potential"

    It will be a fantasy land for the women. Maybe their hubbies will be getting lucky that night. LOL! Enjoy ladies!
