Work all day. Work it all night.

Saucy comedy-drama set in the world of male strippers starring Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey. Directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's 11) and inspired by Tatum's real-world experience. More

Mike (Tatum) is an entrepreneur by day. But at night he's the headliner in an all-male revue at Club Xquisite, run by Dallas (McConaughey). Seeing potential in a guy he calls the Kid (Alex Pettyfer), Mike takes the 19-year-old under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of male stripping and making easy money.

Frances Morton Flicks Writer

Barely five minutes in and Channing Tatum’s derriere is on display, chiselled to perfection for his turn as Magic Mike’s titular character. “Already?” gasped the girl sitting next to me. Yep. That’s what this film is all about – buttocks served taut. Plus well-oiled pecs. Lots of them. More

File Magic Mike under unabashed fantasy. The script is inspired by Tatum’s before-he-was-famous stint as an exotic dancer but not even the strip bars of sun-soaked Florida could possibly be staffed with such fine male specimens and packed with such gorgeous, supportive clientele. “Sex, money and women – what’s not to like?” is Mike’s mantra.

Despite some tut-tut commentary on the commercialisation of sex and the perilous drug scene intertwined with the industry, Magic Mike is basically an excuse for a grinding good time. The tastiest Hollywood man candy get the arty treatment from director Stephen Soderbergh. 'It’s Raining Men' is the cheesiest pick for an ensemble strip number, yet under Soderbergh’s eye the cliché comes off almost sultry and Tatum proves he’s still got the moves to summon a buck or two.

There’s a morality tale bubbling under the heat of the dance floor. Mike ponders his future in the skin business and wrestles with a bad guy meets good girl storyline. The outcome is predictable but since when have perve fests been about complex plots? The real treat is Matthew McConaughey playing Dallas, Club Xquisite’s lecherous owner. As the self-appointed messianic figure of the male revue world, McConaughey is pure magic. Hide

Got this one totally wrong

Lisa-Pedersen A-Lister (?)

Wow I was expecting this to be a schmaltzy chick flick worth the price of admission simply for the perve factor. Actually its a pretty well told story of how so called fast paced fun jobs like hospo/entertainment/adult industry can be taxing on the body and soul. sure you might get laid and lead a supposedly fast paced exciting life but temptation can drag you too far and a rut is a rut no matter what the industry.

A pity more guys won't see this but can imagine many would suffer extreme squirm from viewing so much glistening flexing naked male muscle in your face. Enjoyable movie but yeah sometimes less really is more... especially when it comes to male clothing... 4 stars but a true 10 on the pwhoar scale

TTWhaiti A-Lister (?)

I got bored despite man candy

Laurelle-Jury Wannabe (?)

Even the hottie man candy couldn't keep this girl awake. Less then impressive dancing and choreography, mediocre chemistry between the main actors, yawn-worthy storyline. I think i'll go back to my fifty shades of grey book...

One for the girls

Tracey-Lee Wannabe (?)

No imagination needed here. Good bods, eye candy with energetic moves with lots of skin, and that's all that is going for it. The story is predictable and although funny at times, I got bored. The different camera angles and slightly out of focus filming technique I found were a bit distracting and did not achieve the arty feel I think the director was hoping to get from it.

So if you are wanting a perve, go see it with the girls and leave the boyfriends at home.

It's not all about the Tatum.

Tamwise Wannabe (?)

Working In a cinema, I have had multiple couples ask me what this movie is like.
Men obviously wondering why their girlfriends think it would be a good idea to bring them to a film about male strippers..and women wondering why their boyfriends don't want to be a part of their fantasies.

One answer I give is; It's not as cheesy as I expected, in fact the stripping is just an undertone of what's actually happening in the movie. It's not all about raunchy dancing, there are even some sexy ladies (men laugh at this point) and some dramatic vaguely action-ey scenes and like.. stuff.. being broken. It's about life, and doing what you have to do, you know. You'll like it, trust me.

They always buy tickets, I think Channing Tatum owes me one.

It's a bit much

KatieF Flicks Superstar (?)

A lot more nudity than I expected, the story line somewhat surprised me. I thought beyond reasonable doubt that this film would just be for the girls, but I do think that guys would equally enjoy this film for the humour. Not normally the kind of film I would normally watch, and definitely not the best movie to watch with someone you just met and who can't speak much English. Awkward.

Press Reviews

AV Club (USA)

Magic Mike looks great, and Soderbergh's offhand approach to composition cuts through some of the clichés. Full review.

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Starts as fun and grows steadily darker; Soderbergh and cast tell a realistic, vivid story. Full review.

Empire (UK)

This is terrific entertainment with a sideline in wry melancholia and testosterone-fuelled philosophy. Full review.

Guardian (UK)

It's a well-handled, engaging, lightweight picture. Full review.

Hollywood Reporter

Arguably the raunchiest, funniest and most enjoyably nonjudgmental American movie about selling sex since Boogie Nights, its obvious if considerably darker precursor. Full review.

Little White Lies (UK)

Boogie (nights) wonderland. Full review.

Los Angeles Times

If Soderbergh had paid as much attention to relationship dynamics as he does to dance number mechanics, this film would have gotten closer to living up to the magic in its name. Full review.

New York Times

A smoothly distilled collaboration that balances Mr. Tatum's heat and charm with Mr. Soderbergh's cool, cinematic intelligence and ongoing preoccupations. Full review.
