MAGIC MIKE (Steven Soderbergh, 2012)


It's about time they made the male stripper movie! Some beefcake for the ladies and men who like watching muscly hunks gyrate, a tittilating peek into into an unknown world for the regular joes, a bit of coming of age action for the younguns. And it's pretty good too! It's very Flashdance, i might go so far as to call it the Flashdance of this generation, what with the sexy dance setpieces and the popular music and the spunky aspirational lead character and the romance and so forth.

It's a Steven Soderbergh film, so it's at that level of quality that it's all pretty tastefully done and it's smart enough to be a legit movie, but it's pretty forgettable all the same. But everybody acts good and the dialogue is nice and the dance sequences are pretty great and hilarious.

A good one to watch when you don't want your intelligence insulted, but you don't want to use it too much either!
