Joe Magnaniello’s penis… how else would you start this review?
Stereotypical plot. Wait, there was a PLOT?
Channing Tatum is pretty. That’s about all that can be said about that.
Oh, he can dance, too.
McConaughey played… McConaughey (good casting).
She’s got a serious case of b-face.
Nobody cares about your furniture story.
Do strippers find their jobs satisfying?
Male cheesecake movies vs. female cheesecake movies.
It tried to be a drama, but it never quite worked. Neither did the comedy route.
Creeping penis!
Penis pump!
Why did he keep pursuing Brooke?
Rom-com friend… used to be nerdy, now they’re slutty.
Apparently, Tony is all about the face.
…and Tarzan.
Joe Manganiello, in the words of David… MASSIVE!
Tony wanted more McConaughey, Tarzan and Munn and less Tatum, Adam and b-face.
Don’t underestimate horny women!
Spiderman sidetrack.
