Magic Mike XXL - The XXL stands for the women So me and my friend went to see Magic Mike today. First off, the movie was an absolute party from start to finish and it still has me grinning like a 12-year-old after seeing Johnny Depp shirtless on the poster of some tweeny music magazine.  The movie will definitely sell super well, for a few reasons: 1) Shirtless men.  2) Pantless men. 3) Shirtless and pantless fit-as-fuck men grinding their bodies on everyone's faces to catchy music 4) Obese female cameos. Seriously, I have to applaud the producers for knowing their audience this perfectly. Who goes to see Mad Mike? Women. There were only women in the theater. They love to see ripped, tanned men getting it on with average women. Not only average - full-on obese. There were normal-weight female actors as well, in relevant side roles, but almost every woman who was given a dance was fat. Fat. Fat women love seeing themselves "represented" (even when they just cannot notice it's actually ridicule) and normal + thin women love looking at the fatties, thinking "if she's good enough for them, I'm good enough for them; Mr. Tatum, get in my pants!".  I wouldn't even have had a problem with this had it actually been for character diversity/realistic feeling, but this was way too obvious a product placement. Tl;Dr: Magic Mike XXL is wonderful but shitladies beware for blatant, unmistakeable efforts to get hammies to praise the movie.
