At its best, it peels back the layers of hypocrisy that go hand-in-hand with the commodification of both men's bodies and sex work in mainstream media - and after the first two episodes, it leaves you, in true Chippendales style, wanting more. Go to Full Review George Fenwick The Post NZ 12/29/2021
It works on multiple levels: as an interesting historical tale, an engrossing exposé of the troupe's dark past and a curious chronicle of the way in which the male body has been treated - and exploited - throughout history. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 09/27/2021
While we wouldn't say that Curse of the Chippendales is pure fun along the lines of McMillions or Lady and the Dale, it still has a good sense of what its subject matter is and how reverently to treat it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
