Magic Mike was an interesting film. It showed a little bit of the darkness associated with strippers (male and female) but it didn't go dark enough, IMO. I thought that the male actors were very good, with Olivia Munn as awesome as usual, but wow, was Cody Horn unwatchable. Just garbage.
I know her father ran the studio the time but good grief, she had absolutely no business in this film and singlehandedly brought her scenes to a dead halt. She made Hayden Christensen look like Brando in comparison. Just so unbelievable, so wooden and so lame.
I was most impressed by Alex Pettyfer. He's a damn good actor.
