“I wanna start this off by saying I did not enjoy the first movie. This was probably due to wrongful marketing. Like many hopeful ladies I was expecting a comedy with playful strip routines and hot men and was served up something sad and serious.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor the sequel it was pretty much the same except this film wasnu0026#39;t sad, it was boring. For a film about u0026quot;A group of male strippers going to a stripperu0026#39;s conventionu0026quot; this film has very little stripping in it. In stead itu0026#39;s filled with dialogue that is hard to follow and seems completely unnecessary. The first stripping happens like 40 minutes into the movie and it doesnu0026#39;t get better.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you were hoping for Pitch Perfect with male strippers you will be disappointed. There are no elaborately choreographed synchronized strip performances in this film. They do mostly solo performances where they manhandle their female clients in a way that made me as an audience member very uncomfortable. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall Iu0026#39;m not sure what the target audience for this film is and I donu0026#39;t think the filmmakers know either, though Iu0026#39;m sorry to say this.”
