Are they freaking kidding with Robert Ri'chard?

First off, his acting is horrendous. Yes, I know this isn't supposed to be a film that will be known for superb acting but I remember him being marginally better in other things he has done. He was just bad here.

Second, did they really expect us to believe this skinny twerp would become the MAIN attraction at a strip club when you have all these bigger more macho guys up there dancing? I mean, guys like Tyson showing off huge bulges and stuff and then you have him. I was laughing.

Ummm he isnt skinny. He and Tyson are almost the same size. There is a substantial height difference though.

[–] scottsp10 9 years ago

SAME size? LOL.

Tyson's body is 2 of Robert's. And not just in height.

Like I said they are ALMOST the same size. Tyson isnt that much more muscular. You must be a troll.

Is this the pic you are trying to show me?

If so, you must be blind. I see one huge man in that pic and one skinny small dude.

[–] Neptunechild87 9 years ago

He isnt that skinny. Are we talking about the same person? He clearly has muscles. Besides do you honestly think the guy with the biggest muscles gets the most money? You cant be that clueless. How many male strip clubs have you even been to?

[–] scottsp10 9 years ago

Yes of course he has muscles. I'm not denying that. But out of everyone in the cast who was up there stripping, he was the little dude compared.

And I'm sure some ladies (and men) find that appealing at strip clubs but my point was that it was laughable in the movie how he became this major overnight sensation that everyone came to see when you had guys like Tyson up there and the others.

[–] Neptunechild87 9 years ago

Hmmmm I gotta watch the movie and get back to you. Was there alot of nudity?? Who got naked?

[–] jackiefoxybrown 9 years ago

I don't think it has anything to have to do with him being smaller compared to the other men. I think it has more to do with him lacking sex appeal. The other strippers in the beginning of the movie had me feeling like I wanted to jump through the screen, but Ri'chard...not so much. I felt like I was being forced to watch a sibling strip.

What about his teeth... he has some caps or something and he talks weird throughout the movie. This is tuurible.

[–] queencity86 9 years ago

You must be blind, Robert Ri'chard is fine as hell and has a nice body!!!!

[–] jackiefoxybrown 9 years ago

I think there is a difference between being attracted to someone and finding them cute. While I think Michael is very handsome, he just does nothing for me.

But he's playing a young adult stripping to make fast cash. My friend put it the best "if you are watching a male stripping movie, about male strippers, don't expect to hear it was nominated for anything...except by the thirsty."

You do know most women will only like a guy who can move-
Those guys were a lot more attractive , but Ri'chard actually did the thing.

That's what made him more of an better performer.

Anyways I think Bolo was better

Scott, male stripping is not about who has the bigger muscle. It is all about if you have a nice tight body and you're attractive.

[–] activista 8 years ago

Yeah, and Robert Richard is and has always been a unique-looking hottie, regardless of how many muscles he has or dosen't have.
