I was really looking forward to this film. I wanted to see a funny and uplifting movie and I thought this sounded awesome. It wasn't. It was just awful. A waste of 90 minutes or so of my life.
About the only thing good about this film is the dancing, which, was at best, just OK. The script should have ended up on the junk pile. The movie goes absolutely nowhere and is filled with characters I couldn't care less about.
Channing Tatum was mediocre, but then he always is. I can't see what anyone sees in him besides the body. He's not attractive and after seeing several films he has starred in, I'm still unconvinced he has any acting talent at all. I watched him in 21 Jump Street and almost threw up when he stuck out his tongue (ever hear of a tongue scraper dude? - OMG - NASTY). But, he shines in comparison to Alex Pettyfer, who's character portrayal was one of the most boring performances I have seen on screen in ten years. The no name that plays Pettyfer's sister wasn't much better. Over the top line delivery of over the top lines.
Matthew McConaughey was gorgeous, but even he couldn't pull a rabbit out of that script. The writing was excruciatingly bad and completely unbelievable.
I wouldn't recommend it. Not even if you are really bored. Go for a walk instead, or go watch grass grow. I guarantee you it will be more fun.
