By day, Mike (Channing Tatum) makes ends meet any way he can -- handyman jobs, detailing cars or designing furniture. But nighttime is when Mike really gets to display his many talents: He's the hot headliner in an all-male revue. Mike sees potential in a 19-year-old he dubs the Kid (Alex Pettyfer), takes the teen under his wing and instructs him in the tricks of the trade. However, Mike learns there's a downside to the stripper lifestyle when it threatens his romance with the Kid's sister.

It’s surprisingly deep for a film about men waggling their bits on stage...

Worth seeing? Yes. But also 'no'. But mainly 'yes'. So it's a 'yes' with some 'no' caveats. I can now see this isn't so helpful.

3/5

Go in search of hen-party diversions and you will be disappointed. Venture out in search of blotched, stylish pseudo-realism and you should be modestly satisfied.

Magic Mike and the hype it provoked reminded me of a little film that made Jennifer Beals a star…Flashdance. The dance numbers were perfectly costumed to make it look as if we were watching a Broadway caliber male strip show

There’s some magic in those stripper performances. But the movie around them is too decked out in moralistic drag to deliver the goods.

When it comes down to it, this 4K UHD edition is ideal for viewers who are curious about a different-looking experience and aren’t entirely hung up about what may or may not be included.

This seemed to be too improvisational, or the cast didn't really feel comfortable with each other. There was an underlying tone to this movie that didn't feel right. Matthew mcConaughey was way too much and I don't think was right for thr role. Love Fluffy... but he wasn't utilized as much as he could have been.
