Magic Mike
Rent & Buy
Add-on
+Mike, an experienced stripper, takes a younger performer called The Kid under his wing and schools him in the arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money.
What critics thought
Soderbergh's strip-club drama earned genuine respect from critics as something smarter than its premise suggests — a Channing Tatum vehicle that doubles as a melancholy look at blue-collar ambition and the American Dream's darker edges. McConaughey's performance as Dallas generated serious awards conversation, making his Oscar omission one of the more debated snubs of that season. Audience scores trail critical enthusiasm noticeably, suggesting the film's dramatic ambitions may have landed differently with general viewers than with press.
“Selling anyone the right to touch your genital area for a couple of bucks is not a good way to build self-esteem. Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike makes this argument with a crafty mixture of comedy, romance, melodrama and some remarkably well-staged strip routines involving hunky, good-looking guys.”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“a subtle social commentary on blue-collar struggle and the pitfalls of the American Dream”
