Great movie portraying the life of strippers in the late 2000s/early 2010s in the wake of the Great Recession. Post Recession, wall street clients were becoming scarce, and their payouts were becoming meager. Solely dancing wasn't cutting it anymore. The girls were forced to get creative so they began engaging in some risky behavior with their wall street clientele. I loved how they used different music from the late 2000s, older cell phones, and purchased 2000s- esque bags and cars to take you back to that time and really make you feel like the movie was taking place during those years. Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez absolutely crushed it. Cardi B and Lizzo made small appearances as well. I've heard from many that Cardi should have played Jennifer's part. I don't think she has the acting capability and classy-yet- aggressive swagger that JLo has in order to play the part of the ring leader. I found her to be an unnecessary addition to the film; her acting was irritating and exaggerated. Overall, I was absolutely mesmerized by the film, from the intricate dancing the music, and the emotion of the actresses. Great film.
