This weekend I saw Magic Mike in a movie theatre in Michigan City, Indiana. While I give the actual movie a C+, I award the audience an A+. The movie was about a male strip club in Tampa, FL. The crowd was predominantly female. It appeared that the first two-rows of the audience were part of a group. Upon entering the theater, one woman yelled, “Let’s do this BITCHES!” When the first man walked into the theater, that same woman stood up and shouted, “Let’s see your moves!” Everyone else cheered, while he and his girlfriend squealed to the back of the theatre. I obviously came to love this woman.
I was less interested in the plot and more interested in the raunchy dance moves. So was the audience. Some onlookers were using their iPhones to take pictures of the screen. I personally think the movie should have focused more on the provocative routines than a lame love story. But I understand that even strippers need love to. My suggestion is wait until it’s out on DVD, but if you are itching to watch it now, definitely make sure it’s at AMC Showplace Michigan City 14.
