Well, that sucks :( I was really interested to see it because of Matt Bomer, but pfft, never mind. I hate when trailers are so misleading like that.

[kaye_spivey]

Yeah, same here. I went to see it for him but he's seriously barely in it at all.

Well, at least I know not to waste my time!

If anyone's interested here's a positive review of the movie from The New York Times http://movies.nytimes.com/2012/06/29/movies/magic-mike-by-steven-soderbergh-with-channing-tatum.html that I don't necessarily agree with, but will give you a different perspective and help you decide whether or not to go. I felt like there was still a lot of objectifying of women for a movie that's meant to switch gender roles, but there you go.

Was this movie based on Channing Tatum's experiences as a male stripper?

Yes, it apparently was. Interesting, huh?
