Adam, a nineteen year old boy whose struggling to keep a job, gets pulled into the world of male stripping by Mike Lane. He becomes a protege at Dallas' and Magic Mike's nightclub. He quickly become ensnared into a world of women and fast cash.
This film was directed by Steven Soderbergh. This film is also loosely based off Channing Tatum's personal experiences as a male stripper in Tampa, Florida. This film took a different direction then what was presented in commercials. It appeared to be a straight up romantic comedy, but is instead a romantic drama, with a touch of comedy and tons of sex. The story keeps a very serious tone about innocence being tainted. It also provides the image of how hard it is to leave a wicked world. That being said there is some nudity, but never the full monty (sorry ladies), and drugs. The tainting of innocence was appropriately but the romance was not. The connection between Mike and Brooke felt more like an usual friendship rather than a romance. The scene on the beach did not come out good on camera, because of either bad computer animation or a bad reflection. The rest of the cinematography was great. It gave a sense of where the characters were, and kept that feeling of desperation. This is a good chick flick that provides women the opportunity to see some hot men stripping.
The cast worked well together. Alex Pettyfer played the role of Adam. He was good in his role. This is a great film for him to build his Hollywood name. It allowed him to become a sexual icon, and show his acting skills. Channing Tatum played the role of Mike Lane/Magic Mike. He was good in his role. He created a character torn between his present life, and wanting something more. Cody Horn played the role of Brooke. She was decent her role. She tended to ome off as hateful towards everyone, and didn't provide the heart the film needed. Matthew McConaughey played the role of Dallas. He was great in his role. He created a highly outrageous character that audiences could enjoy. Olivia Munn played the role of Joanna. She was good in her small role.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! This is a good film to see with your girlfriends, and enjoy attractive male strippers. The film was lacking in a deep romance, but it had an emotional pull.
