I think there's a story buried in these male strip clubs, but the people who put together this documentary didn't expose it.
The interviews with the dancers at this particular Canadian strip joint are strange and often difficult to understand. They're also few and far between; we get a few lines of explanation about why these men have chosen their line of work, how it affects their families and relationships, and how their view of women has changed now that they're paid to entertain them.
Beyond that, it's 90+ minutes of repetitive hip-hop music, onstage dance sequences (you can even pick out identical footage that is reused two and three times throughout the film!), a lot of women screaming, and a few brief glimpses of nudity. There was surely a deeper tale to tell about these men and their clientele; perhaps someone else will tackle the subject at some point and do it justice.
As for this one? Don't waste your hour and a half!
