“Mr. Soderbergh, ah, today’s scene… I think it would be a good opportunity to take my shirt off”
This guy’s sense of humor and smarts actually takes the cheesiness out of this film’s VERY cheesy premise. I see why he’s all the rage right now. Plus the bastard wrote the script. Nice.
No he did not write the script. Reid Carolin did. It is based off of Tatum’s “life”
I thought this would be awful until I saw “21 Jumpstreet.” Now I get why people like the guy. Smart, funny, looking forward to this.
This trailer actually looks kind of lame. Also, not one shot of Joe Manganiello or Matt Bomer?
Yeah, it looks like the film’s very large and appealing cast got shafted in an attempt to turn this into a Channing Tatum romance. Isn’t Pettyfer the second lead? You wouldn’t know it from the trailer. I guess can’t blame WB marketing, considering how hot Channing is right now and what a strange property this is, this strategy might work. But it does seem like a waste to not try to tap into Matt and Joe and Alex R.’s very enthusiastic fan bases.
Whatever, my friends and I will be there opening Friday, we’ll be seeing it for Bomer.
I KNOW. WTF? So this movie is ALL about Tatum’s character. No appeal (even name checks) whatsoever to the large fanbases of Bomer, Manganiello etc? Seriously stupid.
Lol, twitter has been in heated discussions as to why you would ignore possibly the Sexiest man in Hollywood Matt Bomer in a trailer. Ladies aren’t happy.
There was one quick shot of Joe Manganiello hurting his back but that was it.
I think it is very telling that Alex Pettyfer did not say one line in the entire trailer. The kid can not act.
Watch again. He does say one line: You hittin’ on my sister. You didn’t notice it because he sounds exactly like Channing Tatum.
I actually saw test screening of this. It was funny. It’s not really romcom. I dont know why they advertise it like that but watver i enjoyed it.
It’s been done.But hey…Channing Tatum is in it.It’ll sell tickets.
Apart from The Vow and 21 Jump Street…name me how many Tatum movies have been hits? Go on. And Tatum is 31 and has been in Hollywood for a good decade.
Yeah. I didn’t think so.
They’ve done a big mistake by ignoring a really good cast, and I just don’t mean some of the hottest men in Hollywood but also the lady from Bridesmaid to Kevin Nash the wrestler to Riley Keough. Each of this people have a really strong fan base and add to the kookiness of the film.
I was really hoping this was another Boogie Nights but it seems like The Vow. Yuck.
You’re right, R. They totally should’ve leveraged the huge name recognition and massive fan-base of “the lady from Bridesmaid.” She’s on fire right now!
And “Kevin Nash the wrestler”? Now there’s a guy who sells tickets!
Missed opportunities, WB.
The script reads like Boogie Nights, lotsa drugs and sex. It was good, better than this romcom trailer indicates. Dark. There could an alt trailer for a different audience on the way…
should have been “…by that.” not “but that”
the freudian nature of the typo is… so confusing!
I originally thought this movie would bomb. But I’m thinking it might actually do fairly well in rentals. Not so much at the box office. Doesn’t look as cheesy as I thought.
Really? It was way cheesier and more romantic-comedy oriented than I thought it was going to be. I’m really disappointed.
I’m confused. I thought Olivia munn was the lead female? Why was that trailer all about the daughter of WB’s COO? And why can’t she act?
You thought wrong. Olivia Munn is not the female lead. And even the “female lead’s” role isn’t particularly large. This trailer, which was sent out with The Lucky One, was cut to look like a romcom, but it’s not.
Oh, brother. This generation’s Keanu Reeves.
Don’t you insult Keanu like this. He is a God among men. This is just a mess.
More matt bomer!!!!!!!!! Not enough matt homer!!!!!!!!!
Not only not “enough” Matt Bomer – NO Matt Bomer. I guess they don’t want his fans, then.
Hope that retirement Soderberg keeps promising comes sooner then later.
That was the worst trailer I’ve seen all year. Lame dialogue delivered in wooden fashion. Awful premise: The stripper dude wants to make custom furniture? I get that Channing Tatum has a great body, but aren’t there a thousand other actors with great bodies in Hollywood with more skill and charisma?
This movie based on channing tatum. makes no sense on not using him
Well, the hot Jake Ryan from 16 Candles quit acting…to make custom furniture. So hey, it happens.
Dialogue? What dialogue?
Which is it to be – are you a stripper or do you make beautiful furniture? Quite the oddest premise for a mainstream movie in a while I would say. Still, he’s undoubtedly good to look at.
Way better than i expected. they made it cute and Channing Tatum has really started to grow on me.
I was expecting “For Ladies Only” but now I really want to see this movie. Well, I really wanted to see THAT movie too, but this looks like a pleasant surprise. Channing killed it in 21 Jump Street and he looks like he’s elevating this material too. I think I’m a fan of Channing Tatum. Did I just type that??
If this had been made from, say, Diablo Cody’s “real life” story, I’d still loathe the idea of it, but could have respected (and maybe enjoyed) it as satire, along the lines of THE PLAYER or TO DIE FOR. Instead, we get Channing Tatum’s “real life” story with, apparently, no irony–but plenty of butt flossing, grins, and beer. No rigor. No thanks. I hope I’m wrong about it.
Trailer is very disappointing. I thought it would be some funny movie about strippers with lots of famous actors. They showed all those stills with naked actors. And trailer tells me that this is some stupid romantic movie and I have to care about Channing and that girl I don’t know and don’t care. Couldn’t they find at least some semi-famous face? So that we would actually care?
I’m very disappointed with trailer. I don’t watch boring romantic movies. And this one looks like it.
If it was European production we would get full frontal but because it’s American movie we’ll get nothing. Thank you I’ll pass.
When I first heard of this premise, I thought this would suck big time. I’ve since changed my mind.
I have a friend that lived this life. He’s told me his stories. They are dark, and destructive, and fueled by drugs. Jaw dropping. You wouldn’t believe it. No one in that world is wholesome. Would have been interesting if they would have made it realistic. Like a the great films from the 70′s.
Um… you obviously haven’t seen the movie. Very obviously.
Soderbergh SERIOUSLY needs to hire a DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY!!! His images look WORSE with every movie… FLAT and uninspired. Oh yeah, and save 35mm!!!!!!!
Your ASC kickback is in the mail sir.
How have I missed out on the whole male stripper thing? I swear I thought it was actually more of a gay thing– not that there’s anything wrong with it, and I’m sure Soderbergh didn’t punk out and not explore the gay aspect of it.
But are you telling me that hordes of women actually go to male stripper joints? Are you telling me that these stripper guys are straight? Where or where are these places?
I guess I have to rethink my whole entertainment repertoire.
Channings is straight I think. I’m not sure about his dance double.
Steven Soderbergh… The Cher of American cinema
How awful. The things agents must promise these days to keep a meal ticket.
