Review of Magic Mike (2012) by Kristine L — 09 Jul 2013

2: I have to say I was a little disappointed given the good reviews. I imagine I would enjoy it more if I were attracted to men, but it was still a good time. The most interesting part of it was having the traditional male voyeur role switched to a female voyeur role.

The men were the sexual objects here rather than the women. It's almost like Showgirls for women, except a better film. Solid performances and an engaging, if predictable, story, but not exactly my kind of picture.

I was impressed by the naturalness of much of the dialogue. It seemed more improvised than written. Additionally, one consolation was that Olivia Munn did feature in a few key scenes.
