Seth MacFarlane's Ted may have outstripped Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike at the box office opening weekend, but the male-stripper flick still offers the most ab-tastic day at the movies since 300. With Channing Tatum as a stripper with a heart of gold who takes young Alex Pettyfer under his wing, the cast includes Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello.
