Finally, the Magic!

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2016)

This film was perfect - sexy, silly, fun, cheesy, ridiculous, dancing, singing and focus on female pleasure.
Yes, please - I'd gladly have some more!
I can't believe I've only seen it now and it totally made my day - I remember trying to get a girls' party together to go to the cinema at the time but we could't quite manage - a pity. I would have loved to see it on a big screen surrounded by excited audience.
This is the Magic Mike that I wanted - the first one was great as far as Channing Tatum's story was concerned however that "poor little spoilt boy" addition was quite unfortunate, unnecessary and unconvincing. I just didn't buy it. The love interest could have been a little more attractive as well. Well, never mind that now the good stuff arrived!
Here we have everything: sight of fit naked backside in the first 3 minutes, a prank, Channing's wet-suit Mr Darcy moment, cheesy banter, "My Pony" solo and that's just the start. Fun all the way and focus on the right things: friendship, doing what you like and are good at, working at being a good performer, having fun and giving women what they want.
Some moments are so cheesy that I laughed out loud - but it's meant to be a bit ridiculous and not taking itself seriously.
I loved every minute of it. Even over-the-top faux romantic singing. Channing - yes. Yes. The best in hot and exciting dancing ever, hands down. He moves like he was born to dance - like he loves it. Poetry in motion, need I say more!
I actually loved that there was no actual sex in this film - it reminds me of some of those teasing sex-bomb comedies from the 50s where women are portrayed as over-the-top sexy, cheesy and silly - only here we have a gender reversal. Perfect male-cheesecake film and oh so pleasing.
