Lessons Learned By Seeing Magic Mike

1. Holy shizzballs, that dude with the jacked up teeth and 2 first names can DANCE.

Tanning Chatum? Tatum Channing? Chandler Bing? Ahhh! Who cares. Just take your pants off and start dancing, bitch.

2. In a closed theater full of perimenopausal women, you can actually smell the aroma of hormone replacement therapy creams after about 15 minutes.

3. This is the very best part of the male anatomy EVER:

And most women I surveyed tonight agreed. It was all very scientific.

4. BJ jokes are always, always funny.

5. Seeing someone begin a BJ on a 20 foot movie screen while sitting near a woman who looks like your grandmother is actually kind of awkward.

6. Ken dolls are the least sexy thing ever. Matt Bomer dressed like a Ken doll can make a theater full of women rip off their panties and toss them at the screen.

I could so easily make a very naughty limerick about Matt Bomer’s name right now, but I will take the high road. For once. (Please be impressed)

7. Don’t do drugs. Or sell them. Or store them in your thong while working a gig.

8. Even seeing Matthew McConaughey in nothing but a leather string at his physical peak doesn’t do it for me. I can’t stop thinking that he likely smells of patchouli and bad decisions.

9. Handsome, tanned, sweaty, muscular men dancing for me are okay in my book.

(Ignore the guy all the way to the right. And stop looking at my boyfriend next to him.)

    Oh man that pic of Alcide. Oh man. I remember they episode where he so deliberately took his time taking off his pants, it was like waiting an eternity thinking we were gonna get full frontal. Holy shit what a tease.

  4. Abby says:

    Well thanks a lot. Given the fact that No. 7 was pretty much the only thing I had on my to-do list for the weekend, now I’m screwed.

  5. peggy says:

    In case the scientifically conducted survey for #3 is still going on, I concur wholeheartedly! And i’m sure you’re absolutely right about matthew mcconnawhateva.

  6. I can’t stand McCounaghey (sp?) either. What’s wrong with me? Everyone loves him and I just think, “ewww.” Bomer is just a little too pretty, but good eye candy. I take one look at Tatum and wonder if he has even one brain cell. This post made me laugh!

    Awesome! This will tide me over until I can get a babysitter and convince my man that straight guys totally want to see this movie.

  9. Jester Queen says:

    You know, I was completely unaware of Magic Mike until I saw another blog review. Now, I’m all, “Sounds like a twist on The Full Monty”.

  11. Bethany says:

    Well, I feel like I don’t even need to see it now after your in-depth review complete with scientific data collection! This review had it all. Especially the picture of the best part of the male anatomy. Thank. You. For. That.

  12. Sounds like a definite must see but hey, check out Step Up (the first one) to see more of the hunky guys moves -he can most definitely dance!!

  13. Until this moment I had no desire to see this movie. Now I have to get a MIL-sitter so I can go.

  14. Oh I will see this movie. Love that part of the man’s body. Not a fan of Matthew but tatum looks good.

  15. “I can’t stop thinking that he likely smells of patchouli and bad decisions.” Best description of that guy, ever! (No way I can spell his name right, I know it.) This movie was totally off my radar until a few days ago, now I’m kinda dying to see it. No need for a sitter here, my hubby wouldn’t go even if I paid him in bjs (ahem!). Thanks for an awesome review!

    Once I get past #3, I’ll leave a comment. For now, all I can say is that it’s too bad you can’t Scratch n’Sniff pics on your screen…..

    So which character gets a BJ in the movie? Hope it’s nice and up close!:-)

  19. Annabelle says:

    #8 made me choke on my water. Just so you know.
    Annabelle recently posted..That Left Turn at AlbuquerqueMy Profile

  20. I’m not a fan of McConaughey either. I was all about Tatum and that guy from True Blood.

    The pink elephant thong cracked me up.

  21. I totally agree on that part of anatomy, though when I see it on women it freaks me out (I’m looking at you, Pink. But kudos on your kick ass tone.)

    How on hell have I missed that ALCIDE is in this G-rated porno? I’m going ASAP.

    And, woman, because I’m reading backwards, congrats on your incredibly well-deserved success.

    And, woman, friends don’t let friend’s kick their cat.

    Okay, b/c of you, I am now dying to see this movie. A freakin’ hot summer between this and 5o Shades. And seriously, how could I not have a crush on Channing Tatum? Pass the drool bucket please…

  26. Alexandra says:

    Really?

    If you’re lying to me, I’ll have to post about it.

    And will it make me blush?

    If it makes me blush, then it went straight to my natural woman.

  27. Anna says:

    Okay – I’m totally going to go see it now!

    You were one of the most clicked link at last week’s #findingthefunny! We’re featuring you tomorrow, and I’m pinning this. Thanks for linking up!

  28. meg says:

    i said it the second the movie ended…this movie will single-handedly save marriages and not end them – because it for women, not men. say whatever you want about my sexism – but there wasn’t a single woman i left the theater with that wasn’t planning on making the feeling last. ;)

    anna, i have another one for you:
    10. forget picturing the time in college when you hooked up with that guy to ginuwine’s “pony”, you have a new mental picture now that is much much much better. (she types, as she begins to sweat nervously, and then presses play one more time before her husband gets home.)

  31. Kelley says:

    Sitting near an old stranger during that movie would be awkward! And I agree about that anatomy bidness.

    Thanks for linking this up with us over at #findingthefunny last week!

  32. I wasn’t going to see this movie in the theater, but now I am texting my friends to see if I can find a partner in crime to escape this afternoon because of your review. ANDbecause of Alcide. Don’t worry, I’ll remember to grab extra napkins to handle the drool.

  36. Amy says:

    I think it’s weird that I’m leaving a comment since I haven’t seen this movie and this post is old, but it made me snort so hard something came out of my nose, so I felt I should tell you I liked it.

  37. Lori says:

    The eye candy alone in this movie is enough to see it – who cares about a story with that many sexy men making those moves?? YUMMY!!

  38. Kerri says:

    I saw this with my mother in law, it was hilarious! I was never really into abs but after that movie… and OMG Joe Man-jello! I can honestly say if I ever met him in real life I would giggle awkwardly and stare at his chest like a creeper.
