Obviously the main attraction of Magic Mike is the wonderful cast and their bodies displayed for the viewer to enjoy, and it certainly delivers in that aspect, however with that aside, there is very little to Magic Mike, but in all honesty people aren't going to see this movie for the plot, they're going to see the buff boys strut their stuff. Channing Tatum is one hell of a guy, he is basically in every scene and he does a fantastic job, I never really liked or disliked him before seeing this but I now have a new found love for him, yes he is pretty much playing himself in this movie but he still delivers a wonderful performance.
The rest of the cast are great too, mostly, Matt Bomer is extremely dreamy and Matthew McConaughey pretty much steals every scene he is in, he along with Channing and the stripping is one of the greatest things about this film, he's hysterical. The gals take a back seat in Magic Mike, newcomers Olivia Munn and Cody Horn are OK, but their characters don't really do anything amazing that stands out, but I'm sure both will probably do something more interesting in the future. The dance scenes are exceptional, so much detail has gone into the choreography, it's like watching a dance movie with an all male cast, and all the guys have got the moves down perfectly.
The only down side to the movie is the length, it ended abruptly, I was shocked when it ended, I thought there was going to be another scene, and also it seemed as though parts of the movie were done very cheaply, obviously the budget was more dedicated to certain parts of the movie more so than others, and finally the casting of Alex Pettyfer, my least favorite of all the cast, it's kind of embarrassing that he is acting along side people who are far more professional and talented than he, but oh well.
Just go see it and enjoy it for what it is, a sweaty, sexy, hunk fest. Matt Bomer in a thong is worth the ticket price, hooray. :)
