Reflections on "Magic Mike"

The boyfriend and I had dinner with some friends and then went and saw the new release"Magic Mike".  What was lacking in the plot was more than made up by the eye candy.  Believe me, not much is left to the imagination with some of the stripper costumes.  And it goes without saying that I'm sure that both the Catholic Church and Southern Baptist Convention will put the movie on the "morally objectionable" list.  Which means the church ladies will be dying to see the movie - just like the prim women of near by Gloucester County who are overwhelming the county library with their requests for "Fifty Shades of Grey." 

This evening the theater was packed and the audience was probably 90%+ women (and us gay gays, of course).   Let's just say that the ladies in the audience really got into the mood of the strip club scenes and their reaction alone was enough to make the outing entertaining.  If you are  looking for a serious plot and drama, "Magic Mike" is not for you.  If you want some laughs and some very pretty eye candy, then it's worth the cost of the ticket.  The only real down side is that many of us will leave feeling that we REALLY need to start doing sit ups and hitting the gym.
