Girl Power falls flat with "Brave"

What a bummer this movie turned out to be...in lieu of amazing Disney classics these last few years (Toy Story 3 & Tangled), Brave missed so many things that makes Disney great: singing, love story, adorable and creative sidekick characters, etc.  Yes, this was the first attempt in a Disney Princess movie to show the bond between a mother and Daughter...look at the list below:

Princess Rapunzel: Mean fake mother
Princess Jasmine: No mother
Princess Snow White: Mean stepmother
Princess Aurora: Nonexistant mother
Princess Ariel: No mother
Princess Tiana: Bond was with father although mother was around
Princess Mulan: Again, bond with father and mother was a sidenote
Princess Pocahontas: No mother
Princess Cinderellla: Mean stepmother
Princess Belle: No mother

However, it fell flat.  The girl power was there with this "standing up for what you believe in" attitude, but disrespecting mother to get it done...I don't know, sounds alot like today's world.

Magic Mike...not that magical!

Honestly, this movie was a little much for me.  Yes, there were hot men with their shirts off stripping on top of women.  They could dance with the exclusion of one man.  Unfortunately it was a little too distasteful for my liking...two words: penis pump.  The acting was sub-par and I have to say the supporting actors saved the movie...Alex Pettyfer and Cody Horn were the only decent actors in the group. 

The only reason this movie had success is because it is in conjunction with the crazy, sexually-infested series "50 Shades of Grey."  The women were lined up around the block for the opening night and my mother was one of many who was dying to see it.  Personally, I'm going to side with my husband and say if the roles were reversed, we'd be a little upset.  Yes, there is always Striptease, but the boys weren't lining around the block to see it!
