So I have two movie tickets set to expire tomorrow unless I use them today. I've watched most things I've wanted this summer. Considering I want to be back home in time to watch the Olympics closing ceremony, my options would seem to be Ted which will probably be a live action episode of Family Guy or Magic Mike that I have no interest in. What should I watch?

Put the tickets in the shredder 
Chiming in a little a late, but Magic Mike is probably better than what you expect.
I went into it expecting a "Hollywood" treatment on the subject. You know, Hollywood catering to 14 year old boys -and older men with 14 year old mentalities. Shallow. Superficial. Linear plot line. Trite humor. "Action" in place of dialogue and acting. Instead, the film strives for a more of a European treatment. It doesn't quite make the leap, but it is earnest -and ultimately endearing- for its effort.
Perhaps if a European studio had been put in charge of production they would have made the full leap to an intriguing, adult, slice of life, bit of drama. -Instead you get a cheerful, 'close.'
Everyone involved does their level best within the limited framework they're given. There are moments when the story and characters are not convincing or authentic. But just as I thought, "alright. Here we go..." things take a turn for the better. And there are smatterings of insightful moments where the characters and situations are quite convincing and authentic.
A great deal of credit has to go to Channing Tatum and the cinema photography . The young kid's descent is visually framed in a way that makes him appear more multi-layered and nuanced than the thin script provides. And Tatum is exceptional. Only falling a little short of convincing in his most tearful moments.
Now if Tennesse Wiilliams and director of The Last Picture Show had a hand in this..........
!!!!!
We would be talking movie gold.
But short of that, this was a B movie with a B+ effort.

This is what a very witty European - Mark Simpson - thinks about the awful badness of Magic Mike...

....Brokeback Mountain. Boring?
Not sure I get the critic's point. Disappointed by a lack of dick? If one wants to SEE dick, watch a porno. You see it hard. You see it soft. You see it go in and out of stuff. You see it squirt. You even get to see better ass, and probably better dick than all the cast of Magic Mike could offer up.
Why look to something with less than an X rating expecting to see something X rated? A glimpse of Tatum's nut sack would have been pleasing to see but it would hardly have made for a better movie. Unless the boy has some really 'forget me not' nads on him.
True, it was not a particularly 'sensual' movie, I'll give you that. But sensual requires neither dick nor ass crack. Marlon Brando swagged sensual with nothing more than his silhouette in a t-shirt. Paul Newman set millions of loins on fire, male and female, with nothing more than a pair of blue eyes and a six pack.
