This film is absolutely horrendous. Very rarely do I come on IMDb to write a review, but for this debacle, I felt it was necessary. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, you shouldn't go in to this movie expecting an Oscar contender. Because, trust me, it was far, far from that. Perhaps even a few Razzie nominations would be fitting. Not a single character was even remotely likable. They all were very obnoxious (especially McConaughey). The relationship between Mike and Brooke (Cody Horn) seemed very forced and unnatural. The characters were so unlikable that after 30 minutes into the film, I was ready for it to be over. I thought the script was very bland. The move was also too long. It didn't seem to have a plot line. The film just meandered for nearly two hours. It was almost torturous. The only thing that was OKAY about this film was the cinematography. It was shot in typical Soderbergh style. At the end of the film, I asked myself, "Why should I care?" It was a total bore. The characters were annoying. And it had no plot line. Not even the dance scenes could save this film. Horrible. Wait for DVD if you are curious.

I really cannot say enough about this film. It is better than a ten, it is perfection. You would assume it was just about the stripping, but Soderbergh nailed the scene. I live in St Pete, where the movie was filmed, and I honestly felt it was just being filmed in all local bars. The people, the drugs, the filth, the hot guys, it's all there!! Channing Tatum is no joke, when he moves, all eyes are on him. The plot surrounding the two main characters was well developed, I honestly think this is one of Soderberghs best yet. Although the film was advertised as a male * film, it is so much more, it shows the filthy women. It shows the heavy drug use. It is just so much more than a film, it is cinema!
