Review of Magic Mike (2012) by Ely M — 10 Apr 2013

I didn't much like "All About Eve" when I first saw it, and it wasn't that much better when they called it "Magic Mike." While the performances are sincere (Channing Tatum is a consistently solid performer with excellent timing), the humor and potential fun of the movie are dampened with an all too predictable storyline that inevitably involves drugs and crime.

The movie was marketed as a semi-erotic comedy; I didn't expect to be bored.
