The Review: Magic Mike XXL


Magic Mike XXL 9/10


This is not a movie you should watch as an out of shape male sitting next to your lady. A few weeks back I watched Magic Mike XXL and was so pleased that it had the same vibe of the first but eliminated that girl he had zero chemistry with and the young dude that wasn't interesting. This takes place three years after the last film where Mike had left the team and had been running his small business. He friends trick him into a reunion thinking his last boss, Dallas, has died. He ain't dead. They go on a road trip for one last hurrah stripping. They meet with Mike's old boss, Rome, who is pissed at him at first since he left her for Dallas. She makes him perform for the ladies at his place before deciding to help him out. Every dance sequence in this made my knees and back hurt just watching. This one was funnier than the first. And by funny I mean that uncomfortable laughter I make when I know I will never be the proud owner of an ab or be able to put my lady in a chair and flip her upside down simulating oral sex.
