Everyone out there, please read this review by loyal blogging sister Emma. It’s the perfect balance of humour and raunchy.
Magic Mike XXL picks up three years after the original movie and Mike (Channing Tatum) is out of the stripping game and running a furniture business. But life doesn’t always go according to plan and after speaking to old stripping pal Tarzan (Kevin Nash) Mike is tempted out for one last shebang with the Kings of Tampa.

Sadly. Then so have the ‘Hangover’ films, and all the dross with Adam Sandler in it, and everything else that I think is awful. Just different points of view, I suppose.

Ems really out did herself with this one. 😊 I told her I had heard such bad reviews of this, I wasn’t going to bother with this, even for my Matthew and that yummy Joe, but I’m reconsidering now.

I didn’t like the first one, thought it was a waste of time. This review came from a really cool blog I follow. As you can see, she loved this flick.
