    Magic Mike

    Reviewed by

    The best way to see "Magic Mike" is with a room full of people ready to enjoy themselves and ready to scream and holler at the screen. The louder the crowd, the better. I actually found that considering how raunchy the subject is, the film was surprisingly tame, so if you’re avoiding it because you can’t stand male nudity, there isn’t any here. There are plenty of shirtless men and a few behinds for the ladies and some topless women for the guys though, so there’s something for everyone. I feel like because we haven’t really seen that many movies about male strippers, unless they were comedies, it didn’t go nearly as far as it could have and it leaves plenty to mine for future films about the same subject. It has some nice dramatic elements in the second and final thirds of the film, showing that there are plenty of tough stories to be said about this subject on top of the comedic ones. It has a lot of laughs and some genuinely touching moments, the characters are interesting, the performances are good, the dance numbers are a lot of fun and they vary quite a bit, so it doesn't feel repetitive at all. It's a crow-pleaser, although it does run a little long. Some trimming of the subplots might have been nice, but it's still an enjoyable romp. (Theatrical version on the big screen, September 4, 2012)
