By day, Mike (Channing Tatum) makes ends meet any way he can -- handyman jobs, detailing cars or designing furniture. But nighttime is when Mike really gets to display his many talents: He's the hot headliner in an all-male revue. Mike sees potential in a 19-year-old he dubs the Kid (Alex Pettyfer), takes the teen under his wing and instructs him in the tricks of the trade. However, Mike learns there's a downside to the stripper lifestyle when it threatens his romance with the Kid's sister.

Deborah Ross The Spectator Sep 1, 2018
Worth seeing? Yes. But also 'no'. But mainly 'yes'. So it's a 'yes' with some 'no' caveats. I can now see this isn't so helpful. Go to Full Review

3/5

Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic Mar 24, 2026
Magic Mike and the hype it provoked reminded me of a little film that made Jennifer Beals a star…Flashdance.  The dance numbers were perfectly costumed to make it look as if we were watching a Broadway caliber male strip show Go to Full Review
Noah Berlatsky Splice Today Mar 18, 2026
There’s some magic in those stripper performances. But the movie around them is too decked out in moralistic drag to deliver the goods. Go to Full Review
