Magic Mike

I am a single guy going to see a movie about Male Strippers, in a cinema packed with groups of women and very few guys, the majority of whom look like they have been dragged in kicking and screaming by there girlfriends/wives. Ignoring that fact I quite enjoyed this film. Maybe the fact that Cody Horn and Olivia Munn playing female lead tempered my viewing experience, so that it was not just male flesh on display helped!

Whist the film is largely focussed on the male strippers, and a big portion of the screen time is in the club with the strippers, it is not overly explicit and done in a sensitive way (hence the 15 certificate) and there is also a human story behind the sexual facade.

This is not going to win any awards, the acting is poor and the story is limited, but all in all Its certainly not the worst film in the cinema at the moment. 6/10
