Summer with the Guys

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Good storyline, great actors, very entertaining and kept me laughing. It's a mix of Magic Mike (but actually better because Magic Mike was corny AF) and American Pie. I would definitely watch it again. It's one of those feel good movies you can leave on and even it you catch glimpses of it, it's guaranteed to catch your attention or have you laughing. The ending caught me off guard in a good way. Most movies are pretty predictable. They did great at including little twists and turns to keep you tapped in while enjoying the ride. A sequel would be great. Maybe a different country/location.

After their coach is fired, four college football players learn that their scholarships have been revoked and that, unless they find a way to pay for their education, they won't be able to play for their team this upcoming season. To make matters worse, since they don't know much about anything other than football, they struggle to find any decent jobs and, feeling pretty desperate, decide to audition as dancers at a nearby strip club to make ends meet. To that end, being somewhat shy and inexperienced at this sort of thing, the madam of the strip club gives them some pills to help them overcome their inhibitions--and that's when things start to go even more haywire. Without revealing more, I will just say that this is a film some viewers may not find very appealing. The language is coarse, and even though there is no nudity, the entire movie revolves around scenes of a sexual nature. Therefore, viewer discretion is essential. On the flip side, there are some good parts, especially scenes involving Brannon Watson (as "Jay") and James Hal Hardy ("Dan"), which are especially hilarious. In short, although this movie may not appeal to some viewers, I have to admit that it wasn't all bad, and I have rated it accordingly.

I see Brashaad, which I just thought he was an influencer but clearly he really acts!!! Summer With The Guys was really funny and to be honest I only watched it because I kept seeing clips of it on TikTok with Brashaad. I didn't know what to expect because I didn't see any name actors in the previews, but I really wanted to support someone who supports South Africa. Plus Brashaad is funny though that is not the role he played in this film. The lady yelling in the window and the big girl was extremely funny. I will say expect the unexpected in this movie because it is nothing like what I have watched before. If you are a lady watching this, I recommend not doing it with your boyfriend because the men dancing half naked might get you in trouble. I think I was looking at the screen a little to hard. Let me not give to much away, but I'd say give it a watch if you want some good unexpected laughs. Was this movie filmed in South Africa? I see Roxie a big South African DJ in the film.

Really well-executed idea that flips the roles in the film of what usually would be the other way around. Good music, fun performances and just really well done overall. And although I know nothing about dancing, I can recognize it was top notch! Another important note is that I totally bought the guys as friends - which isn't always the case in a movie like this. Well done.

Overall this also had some genuinely laugh out loud moments. Very rare for an indie film. This goes well with how polished the film is and the timing and pacing of the story and editing works very well. This would be a recommend for me!

Let me be first to say I am not the type to watch male strippers but I absolutely loved this movie, it had me dead laughing. From a clip on social media at ladies night we decided to watch and it did not disappoint. All attractive and funny guys with terrible dance moves to start the movie LOL. However, I appreciate being there for the journey and seeing these young guys grow into men in my eyes. The friendship between these guys was also hilarious. At times I could not see how all four of them coukd stay friends. For sure would watch it again if I want a good laugh with friends. These guys did well.
