CGiii Comment

It is terrible.

Tatum looks as if he has had his face stretched and then, dipped in Botox...

McConaughey, too old...he has never looked so weirdly unattractive.

The dance sequences are brief and bad...performed in front of a handful of screaming women...not the busiest club in the world.

The story is predictably awful...good boy goes bad, bad boy goes good...ad nauseam.

There's nothing challenging or even titillating...inexplicable as to why this got a cinematic release.

The direction is...lamentable with ass-cheeks...Soderbergh, it's time to hang up your clapper.

The(ir) Blurb...

Mike Lane is a thirty-year old living in Tampa, Florida. By day he works as a roofer while at night, as Magic Mike, he is the star attraction of the Kings of Tampa, a group of male strippers. Secretly he wants out in order to further a projected furniture-making business but his credit rating precludes a bank loan for this despite his considerable savings. One night Adam, a teen-aged work-mate of Mike, follows him to the club and, when one of the acts is unable to go on,he is prevailed upon to strip - becoming a huge hit. However success goes to his head and his foolish actions not only threaten to jeopardize his sister Brooke's relationship with Mike but Mike's ambitions as well.
