Film Review - Magic Mike




Quite inconsequential, actually leaving pretty much every plot thread untied... but I guess it's not really about the plot. It's just a snapshot of life as a stripper, the twist being that this time it's men. We see the highs of adulation, the lows of succumbing to temptation, and the completely blank expression that is Cody Horn. For me, it wasn't so much about the flesh on display as it was about the dancing and creative staging of the shows. It's fantastic to see Channing Tatum dance again- the first time since Step Up- and it makes you realise how wasted he is in generic romdrams. If only they'd roped in Zac Efron as well.
