It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Oh my word, this is among one of the WORST films I have ever seen! The lead actress has one expression throughout the film and she's a pretty terrible actress too. The scene on the island/beach where she's walking along the shore with Mike and "laughing" is just utter rubbish and not at all believable. To sum up, it's entirely rubbish and has absolutely no plot to it, just avoid it if you want to watch a decent film!
We get introduced to a unknown world of male stripping, the business, the marketing & what's going on backstage. I got into this film with my girlfriend, thinking it was just hot guys rubbing faces with their groins. But very soon i started noticing depth. This movie isn't about the stripping; it's about the life of the strippers. it's about how a seemingly troubled young man gets involved in the business, and how to cope his new found life. It's about a guy who's already been in the business long enough to want to get out and how to cope with other realities. It's about love, friendship, drugs, anger, joy, fear. I think the movie catches some of the moments and emotions and makes them real. I don't believe in happy endings, i believe in realism, and on some levels this movie delivers just that.I'm rating this 8/10 for reasons above mentioned. Though I didn't like some parts om Channings acting nor the coldness of Alex Pettyfer, who would like a friend like that?
Surprisingly good story considering its content. While this is blatantly a vehicle to show of Tatum's dancing skills and also one obviously geared to bring legions of female fans for each respective Hollywood stud and the removal of their clothes, it is still an interesting film worthy of staying till the end credits. It is well acted by all concerned - there is an almost ad-lib quality to some of the dialogue, frantic exchanges often overlapping each other, lending an aspect of realism to the whole piece.It's not going to win any Oscars, but it certainly surprised me with how engaging it actually was. A film not be taken at face value...
Camryn Grimes was wonderful as the birthday girl. Never knew that she played Hugh Jackman's daughter in Swordfish (2001). Also Kate Easton was good in a short supporting role. To top the cherry, Alex Pettyfer who plays "The Kid" or Adam was the icing of the cake. His acting was unbelievable and priceless.Overall, a different movie experience.
