This is one of those movies you know you shouldn't have enjoyed but you did anyway. I was surprised myself to see that I actually liked it. Fun, entertaining, and light.

I happened to be one of maybe 4 dudes in a theater full of women who were whooping and hollering throughout, as if we were in an actual strip club. Which speaks to the energy of the film. I got the feeling that the new director let the guys have more fun with their parts than Soderberg did. As for the objectified male picture of 2015, this one BURIES 50 Shades of Gray. Believe it.… Expand

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. 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

Less serious minded than Steven Soderbergh’s box office hit ‘Magic Mike’ this fluffier sequel is also a lot more fun.

The loosely structured screenplay at first seems to only offer up a lot of inane macho chatter and the movie never gels into a cohesively good story whilst also fatally lacking an ending of which to speak. However, approached in the right spirit there is much warmth and humour peppered throughout to keep the enjoyment buoyant. Most of the cast are engaging with Joe Manganiello in particular proving more impressive here than he was in the first film. His striptease in the food store is one of the best scenes on offer. Andie MaCdowell is also given a few nuggets with which to shine leading one question where she has been these past years. The film also benefits immeasurably from some surprisingly good rap music on the soundtrack. This in turn elicits a fairly positive response to a movie that, whilst one wouldn’t rush to see it again, is a guilty pleasure whilst it lasts.… 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 yearsEverything 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

If Magic Mike was the party then Magic Mike XXL is the after party, not quite on the same level as what came before it, but a damn good time none the less!
