First thing’s first: Magic Mike delivers on the eye comedy. Club Xquisite, the wildest male strip club in Tampa, sports an ensemble of muscled men ready to flash their ridiculous moves in even more ridiculous dance numbers (this crew has never seen a pair of assless pants they didn’t like). Bringing a few dollar bills to the movie is recommended — Magic Mike is shot up close and personal enough that flailing them about will come naturally.
But the amazing thing about Magic Mike is that it’s so much more than just a crazy dance movie (even though it’s definitely one of those too). Channing Tatum, director Steven Soderbergh and a cast of ripped gents (including Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello) knock the movie out of the park with a surprising mix of comedy and drama.
