The Daily BeastNick SchagerFeb 7, 2023
Delivering the male-entertainment goods while radiating a newfound degree of tender romanticism, it’s a fairy-tale coda that’s at once sensual, lyrical, and liberating. Read full review

The A.V. ClubLuke Y. ThompsonFeb 8, 2023
Since more moviegoers are likely coming to a Magic Mike movie for the moves than the plot, let it be stated the moves are outstanding, even if the movers remain mostly blank slates. Read full review

Magic Mike’s Last Dance is measured and mature, which makes it less of a crowd-pleaser than the first two movies, but it allows Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek to bask in their incredible romantic chemistry. Read full review

Austin ChronicleSarah JaneFeb 15, 2023
Having sat out the first sequel, returning Magic Mike director Steven Soderbergh has made an entertaining enough movie, but it’s the weakest of the series. Read full review

The AtlanticShirley LiFeb 21, 2023
Mike and Max’s relationship—in which she whisks him off to London so he can direct an all-male revue at the theater she owns—is the stuff of romance novels, but that’s the point: Last Dance is all wish fulfillment, seductive and surreal. Read full review

Most of all, Magic Mike's Last Dance is about fit, graceful bodies moving through space. Read full review

The PlaylistMarshall ShafferFeb 7, 2023
The two creative engines of the series might seem like strange bedfellows — the brainy Soderbergh and the brawny Tatum — but the duo brings out the best in each other. The director appreciates the earnestness of his leading man and finds ways to deepen that charm through quick-witted humor. Read full review

The undercurrent of economic insecurity is gone, replaced by a generic, “get-the-band-back-together” plot, but this sequel to Magic Mike still shines as a movie musical. Read full review

The Film StageJordan RaupFeb 7, 2023
Magic Mike’s Last Dance has an ample dose of humor, heart, and chiseled abs, but one wishes the trilogy capper felt more than perfunctory. Read full review

IndieWireJude DryFeb 7, 2023
The movie’s casting montage may feel stilted and long, but it’s easy to imagine Tatum’s actual thrill at assembling the best dancers from around the world. When they stop talking and start dancing, that’s when the real magic happens. Read full review

ConsequenceLiz Shannon MillerFeb 7, 2023
Doesn’t dive deep into the mysteries of the human heart, but does deliver some sweetness along with the gyrating and thrusting. Read full review

Paste MagazineTara Bennett Feb 7, 2023
For those looking for more razzle-dazzle with assless chaps, Magic Mike’s Last Dance may test your patience with its meandering middle. But Channing Tatum is so damn skilled as a dancer, comedian and romantic hero, he rewards the patient. Read full review

PolygonKatie RifeFeb 7, 2023
Allowing both love and money to complicate the primal enjoyment of watching muscular men in sweatpants gyrate ends up diluting the film’s once-simple pleasures. Maybe you can’t have it all. Read full review

ColliderRoss BonaimeFeb 9, 2023
Even though the flaws in Last Dance are glaringly obvious—not only is this the worst of the Magic Mike franchise, it’s also clunky in a way Soderbergh films rarely are—it’s still hard to not get caught up in the celebration of it all. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattFeb 7, 2023
Last Dance is missing a lot, but it has the moves you mostly came for — and in its final strobe-lit moments, the full release of a Hollywood ending. Read full review

USA TodayBrian TruittFeb 10, 2023
Tamer and what one could arguably call classier, this movie trades bromantic machismo and beefcake high jinks for female empowerment and character maturity, though still boasting hunky dudes and clothes being ripped off. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFeb 10, 2023
Magic Mike’s Last Dance is one of Soderbergh’s most notable misfires and, although one can justifiably argue that sub-par Soderbergh is as good as a solid effort by many other directors, that doesn’t change the end result: there’s something unsatisfying about this motion picture. Read full review

The Associated PressLindsey BahrFeb 9, 2023
If there is a quibble, it’s that Hayek and Tatum don’t quite inspire the will-they-won’t-they tension that the movie seems to be asking of them. They work well together when they’re working together, but the romantic chemistry is a bit lacking. Read full review
