You like chicks? Cool, there are hot chicks so this movie is for you.

Maybe you’re not into girls and you just want to admire good looking women? Yes, this movie is for you.

You want to see a movie with some bad ass *******? This movie is for you.

You’re looking for a deep, thoughtful movie? No, this movie isn’t for you.

Do you want to see JLo work a stripper pole? This movie is definitely for you.

But seriously, movie was good. Great visuals, great debauchery. And some surprisingly humorous scenes.

And the scene where they introduce JLo’s character? Holyyyyyy crapola... that was insanely awesome. Overall, this movie was worth the price of admission.

Wife and I went to see it this weekend. We thought it was OK. Kind of felt like a documentary that could be watched on the Lifetime network but with better actors.

J Lo was really good in it.

I thought it was ok - some guys complained 'not enough dancing.' :rolleyes:

I read the original article/story from the writer - pretty much stuck to what the writer penned. Seems like the 'gang of strippers' thought it was justified because most of those men were ******** and/or perverts.
