It may be a meandering road trip movie about a group of emotive performers who fancy themselves therapists, but Magic Mike XXL is an ingenious revelation of a film. Read full review

The Telegraph Tim Robey

Cleaving hard to its road-trip formula, it works out less of an honest-to-goodness plot than Magic Mike, but goes even beyond that wonderfully loose, dexterous movie in feeling sexually liberated. It’s more glammed-up, rising above any element of tawdry exploitation, and is more of an outright comedy. Read full review

Michael Phillips

It retains the original's sunny, democratic vibe and refreshing lack of meanness, as well as Soderbergh's interest (if not his precision) in keeping several of the ensemble members in frame, interacting, without a lot of routine close-ups. Read full review

We get bracing bro banter, pectoral flexing and the whole gang going wild on Molly. Good times. Read full review

Packed tight, Jacobs’ straightforward sequel may boast less up top than the Soderbergh-directed original, but still bulges where it counts. Read full review

More than anything, I felt recognized by Magic Mike XXL. It's sweet, feminist, funny, weird, erotic. For a movie about a bunch of straight fellas on a road trip, it's one of the most female-centric films I've ever seen. It's kind without being sentimental, sexy without being stanky.

For a movie about a bunch of straight fellas on a road trip, it's one of the most female-centric films I've ever seen. It's kind without being sentimental, sexy without being stanky. I love that Soderbergh et al put the love-story and moral compass stuff on the back burner and, a la Alice down the rabbit hole, just let these guys wander from one freaky situation to another - all rendered with equal parts nuance and fantasy. By the time they get to the Andie MacDowell character's place, I thought - geeze this practically feels like an art film. Layered characters, crafty dialog, beautifully shot. But it's about strippers! Heaven. And a real stand out: scene after scene crammed with women who look like actual human beings. There's not a single **** any where in this movie. Nor do the guys feel threatened by other folks of color, by gay culture, by women of size, or by each other. It's got just enough goof and fantasy to keep it all heightened. Yet it all feels grounded in reality - a sur-reality where a bunch of straight boys actually talk about what women want and it's not adversarial. It's hahhht. My only bummer - that more critics and audience members aren't recognizing the value and importance of a major Hollywood release that so deeply celebrates female sexuality and the many possible manifestations of a more gentle masculinity. Go see Magic Mike XXL!… Expand

Everything in Magic Mike XXL is large, the dances, the acting, the music, the sound and the magic itself. 2012's Magic Mike brought a lot to the table and many argued that the magic will return.

Well, can the sequel hold its steam three years later? Hell yes. XXL is a better movie than I thought it would be, the songs are off the charts, the dancing is great and Channing Tatum gives a hell of a performance. It was sad to see Dallas and The Kid go, and seeing what an amazing performance McConaughey gave in the predecessor, I was bummed, new director, okay cast and Sodenbergh being used as the director of photography. Boy, was I wrong. This movie tops its predecessor in every way, excellent visuals, brilliant acting and groovy music are just some of the highlights. Jada Pinkett Smith was amazing, Amber Heard is in this, Micheal Strahan gave us some magic and many more stars deliver MAGIC. PURE MAGIC. There is more comedy this time, because Magic Mike had a bit more serious tone. This movie is not uncomfortable, it is not awkward to watch this, believe me, I think there were only 3 men in the theatre and the rest were women. XXL is incredibly fun, excellent and jaw dropping entertainment. This is the most fun you can have this week.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was *extremely* fun, complete fan service, tons of abs. Nothing not to like. We also thought it was an improvement over the original which took itself very very seriously. http://bit.ly/1C36GUg… Expand

You have to REALLY want to just hang out with these guys to enjoy this sequel.

I mean, it was fine. It was interesting and even insightful in spots. It was just not as much fun as the first one.

Next time I should just download gay porn for satisfaction.… Expand

Just not my cup of tea.

I have seen the first part and I don't remember I felt the same way as I did for this. My point is, this film is for women and maybe that including the gays. Being a straight male, I find it's not fun or entertaining, but I felt it pulled me further away as theJust not my cup of tea.

I have seen the first part and I don't remember I felt the same way as I did for this. My point is, this film is for women and maybe that including the gays. Being a straight male, I find it's not fun or entertaining, but I felt it pulled me further away as the movie progressed without balancing the content as a product for everyone.

I know, no one asked my opinion. I respect the movie, at least it aimed for a certain section of the audiences. The road trip was fine to me, except the music and the dance parts. Thankfully, there's no nudity, except once, but still an R rated movie for strong sexual appeal.

Whatever the theme was about, I expected a good story. But it was a lot like a documentary. No focus on any particular characters, but Channing Tatum was in a prime position. No development either in the story other than a group that embark a road trip to participate in a competition. Nothing anything like the first film, kind of detached from afar.

So I won't expect you to feel as the way I did on this, but you could consider my points and can judge whether want to watch it. Still, I'm not suggesting to boycott the film. I'm neutral, and all I'm saying is that it did not impress me, but it might you, especially if you are a woman.

This was the utter worst piece of trash I have ever seen!!! I saw the first one and thought it was 'marginally OK," but this one has no redeeming value. If you're going to see some skin, which most people are, then go see another movie and then sneak in for the last 10 mins of Magic Mike.This was the utter worst piece of trash I have ever seen!!!
