The Magic Mike XXL trailer is out & it looks seriously amazing, you guys

I genuinely enjoyed the first Magic Mike film, and I was surprised to see that there was some real acting happening in between dance sequences.

Mike XXL

I genuinely enjoyed the first Magic Mike film, and I was surprised to see that there was some “real acting” happening in between dance sequences. I still kind of think that Matthew McConaughey was – no judgment – robbed of an Oscar nomination for his performance. And Channing “Charming Potato” Tatum was charming and damaged and a wonderful dancer, as always. My biggest complaints about the film were A) it needed MOAR Matt Bomer and B) the apathetic nepotism-hire playing Channing/Magic Mike’s love interest.

The film was a success, and Channing loves to dance, so of course we’re getting a sequel. This one is called Magic Mike XXL and the plot involves the same group of guys – minus McConaughey’s Dallas and Alex Pettyfer and adding in a few new dudes – going to a strippers’ convention. Madam Nepotism Hire is gone, thank God, and in her place we have Amber Heard and Elizabeth Banks. YAY! I mean, yay for Banks. I’m sure Amber Heard thought she would be getting different kinds of offers, but she’ll take what she can get. And at the end of the day, I bet she’s not even close to being as bad as Lady Nepotism-Hire. The first trailer for Magic Mike XXL was released yesterday and I can’t help it… I laughed.

It’s amazing? If anything, it looks much better than the first film. It felt like Channing realized that we needed more men, more stripping, more dude action and more fun. Joe Manganiello with his spurting soda? I’m sorry, but THAT IS AWESOME. And I could totally watch Charming Potato dance around his shed for two hours. No joke.

A lot of “critics” would probably say it’s terrible to support a film like Magic Mike XXL, but I will see this without any shame whatsoever. Now, Fifty Shades of Grey? I’m sorry, but I’m not going to see that in the theater. I would be too ashamed to buy a ticket to see that mess. But I will scream from the rooftops: “I AM GOING TO SEE MAGIC MIKE XXL!!”
