So many elements that could have made this a truly original movie. Instead it's confusing, meandering and ultimately pointless. Alex Pettyfer, the innocent entering the world of male strippers has a good face a great body but lacks life, yes, that's it, he's kind of lifeless. Channing Tatum, whose story, apparently, this is, has a body that seems to have been shaped by a genius, but a face that looks slightly unfinished. I didn't get his character at all. As an actor Channing tries far too hard. Matthew McConaughey is a hoot, Great chest and he seems to be relishing the spotlight. So, all in all, entertaining and little, very little else.

Everything about this to me is well directed with great dialogue, smooth scenes and the soundtrack is gold! Steven Soderbergh was perfect for this with the films he's done you can't go wrong. I'm not fully sure what the negativity stemmed from I think Magic Mike is great all around for both genders too. Ever since the movie came on HBO I've seen so many times cause I enjoy most the scenes and I love the song Victim by Win Win that song is brilliant. I'm probably peculiar for being a guy that loves the movie and I disagree with the person that said something about not enough energy that's way wrong.

There is a real film here, contrary to many biased reviewers. A well-told story and assured direction push Magic Mike beyond the stigma it has received. Channing Tatum is a good actor and I won't hear anything to the contrary. He has a real knack for acting casually cool in his roles and his dancing is genuinely impressive. McConaughey also gives a tremendous performance and fully commits to the role. If you're willing to look past the premise, you can find an actually enjoyable film here.
