Review of Magic Mike (2012) by Nhia T — 01 Aug 2013

Magic Mike. When I first heard of the movie, I thought it would a fun and entertaining film to watch. When the film began I found it to be sassy, entertaining, and impressive. However, as the film progressed, the storyline began to falter and I became less impressed.

Aside from the provocative dancing, which seemed to lack any variations after the first 30 minutes, and the clean cut chiseled bodies of the actors and actresses, this movie basically sucked the magic out of the evening half way through the film, at which point I was just watching it because it as almost over.

The acting was well done, the performance from Channing Tatum was what I'd kind of expected, and it can really get the audience going, at least for a bit. Some people might like it, but it just was not my cup of tea.
