I normally don't do this but...
I was completely blinded by how awful this movie is.
My friends have been telling me to watch it because it is so awesome and then I saw that it was on HBO and had four stars. So naturally, I'm thinking this movie will be pretty awesome if it got four stars. And the movie turns out to be horrible.
The beginning was terribly boring. I could barely watch it. And then this horrible actress pops up on the screen and I can't get over how terrible she is. The camera continuously focuses on nothing but her face and she just has this wooden grimace that won't go away. Her laugh sound so fake, it's painful. I never thought I would see an actress with less emotional depth then Kristen Stewart but this girl takes the cake.
And the plot was just...ugh. Mike wants to make furniture and quit stripping. He quits stripping but we don't even get to see if he makes furniture! We just find out that he gets with the wooden girl at the end! And the kid gets hooked on drugs and stays hooked on drugs and then takes Mike's spot even though he can't dance.
What is the point? I can't even fathom how this movie got a 6.1 on this site. I assume because of rabid horny women who loved watching grown men hump the stage. Yes, Channing Tatum and some of the cast are attractive but that doesn't make it a good movie. I gave it a three just because I like Channing Tatum and I wanted to he nice.
