While not as entertaining as its predecessor, Magic Mike XXL still has some good moments

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2015)

Just watched this with my movie theatre-working friend. Once again, this sequel to Magic Mike has a meandering quality that one may not be patient with and for a while, I was thinking this wasn't going anywhere. Still, me and my friend were intrigued enough to keep watching and by the end sequence, we were still reasonably entertained by the stripping performances. There were three good scenes here: first, there was a sequence of one of the "male entertainers" performing at the convenience store in order to make the female cashier smile. Second, there was Andie MacDowell's Southern charm when talking to them. And third, when Amber Heard gets the ride of her life with Channing Tatum on stage. So on that note, Magic Mike XXL is at the least, worth a look.
