Like every other female with access to a movie theater, I recently saw the movie Magic Mike. Thank Hollywood for someone finally pitching the idea of a movie about male strippers. Ladies we're move'n on up! At last a movie that targets what women want (and its generally not Mel Gibson). Rom-Com's are all good and fun, but usually there's that longing for something, something's always missing, who knew the "something missing" was Channing Tatum's bare backside and multiple men thrusting on a stage in unison.
Surprisingly, Magic Mike does come with a serious side, it touches on what I'm guessing a lot of people are struggling with now: chase your dreams? or fill your wallet? The new guy on the stage, known as "the Kid" decides to live in the moment, while Magic Mike eventually turns to pursuing his dream and the girl.
There are two girls, one we see in the beginning of the movie that represents the go-along lifestyle associated with stripping, and another, a pretty conscientious blonde, that represents the lifestyle that would ensue with him following his dream.
The bare-butt basics are this, its a good-ass movie with some substance to make things a little more wholesome.
