Magic Mike XXL (2015)

Magic mike xxl.jpg      This was the Christy pick for December.  She thinks she's funny.

Mike (Channing Tatum) has given up the stripping business to focus on his furniture company but when his stage buddies call to remind him of the annual Strippers Convention in Myrtle Beach (because of course you'd have a stripper convention somewhere classy), he decides to put on his sequined thong one more time.  Along the way, the guys confront their issues with being left in the lurch by their manager (pimp?) Dallas (Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Film).  Mike assures them that he has an MC picked out that will do a bang up job so they swing by Savannah, GA to visit Rome (Jada Pinkett-Smith).

I don't know why anyone would watch this movie when there is an entire Internet full of porn but it exists nonetheless.  Maybe you like painful dialogue, cheesy plots, soft core thrusting, and an homage to early-00's boy bands.  If so, you and your 20 cats should definitely watch this.  It was actually less painful to watch than the original, thanks to the reduction of Alex "Can't Act" Pettyfur and the addition of Donald Glover, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and a cameo by Elizabeth Banks.  Still, nothing was going to save this short of a comet hitting the convention center during the finale.
