The characters from the prequel are back in the saddle for one more ride.

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2015)

After reading all the negative reviews, I am appalled. I actually enjoyed this movie over the first for several reasons. The first Magic Mike had too much "romance" in it. I wanted to watch handsome men dance, not find love. And I believe with the sequel Magic Mike XXL I got it. I loved the dialog in this also. There were a lot of women, more believable than the teeny boppers from the first, that had sexual awakenings. It was the full female experience. The men made the women feel like queens and I loved every bit of it! The dancing was even better, a lot more moves I've never seen before. As far as their age being almost forty and some were older than forty, so what? They still got it. I prefer to look at sexy men, I have never put a number on it. Besides, it's a movie people. Enjoy it for what it is. Empowering women and teaching the men a few things in the process.
