    Wesley got old

    I don't know what the wife and I were expecting when we watch this movie but it was cute. It was a black comedy about a boy who wants to be a magician in vegas and who ends up being a stripper because he is well endowed. Wesley Snipes plays the old Matthew McConaughey position from Magic Mike in this one. It has Tiffany Addish in it and she is funny. Actually all of the strippers are comedians who are brought up on stage to try and dance. The movie isn't bad but it isn't good either. There are cringe moments where like when the cops try to arrest them all for being black Or wins of one white member of their group continually apologizes for being a white Doctor. Overall it's a fun movie but don't expect Too much.
