Set in the world of male strippers, Mike takes a young dancer called The Kid under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money.

“Magic Mike”: Channing Tatum’s stripper romance

Steven Soderbergh's male-stripper saga "Magic Mike" may be the warmest and most romantic movie of his career

Count on Steven Soderbergh to turn a raunchy saga of ultra-beefcake male strippers and the women who love them into something unexpected — in this case, into what may be the warmest and most romantic movie of his career. Now, as those who are familiar with Soderbergh’s work over the last 23 years and 30 or so films will attest, praising him for warmth and romance is a little like proclaiming the nicest day of the year in Antarctica. Clear back to his era-defining indie hit “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” in 1989, this is a director obsessed with surfaces and reflections, with voyeurism and narcissism, with the way that human sexuality and the human body, once understood as realms of private experience, have become commodities.

“Magic Mike,” which was reportedly inspired by the real-life teen stripping career of good-natured star Channing Tatum (who also co-produced the movie), fits almost too perfectly into the Soderbergh catalogue. It’s close to being a gender-reversed, more audience-friendly remake of “The Girlfriend Experience,” his little-seen 2009 indie featuring porn star Sasha Grey as a high-end hooker. There are indeed plenty of strip-club dance numbers — in which Tatum proves suspiciously adept at the cheesed-out, pseudo-hip-hop choreography — and Matthew McConaughey gives a scene-stealing, award-worthy performance as the unctuous, perm-wearing club owner and dance coach. (I know I’m not alone in pronouncing that I’m enjoying McConaughey much more the second time around.) But “Magic Mike” is a more abstract and self-consciously artistic view of the male-stripper subculture than the marketing campaign suggests, and opening-weekend audiences eager for cheerful nastiness may find themselves baffled.

Haha my girl use to love Channing Tatum but she says she's over him now.

I know Matthew McConaughey is in it too and her mom loves him, so those two bimbos will probably go see it together.

Tell her if she watches it you'll be at home watching a couple of co-eds go at it on P-P-V.

Bi-sexual is a two way street. Might want to classify bi-sexual female friend.

Been many studies out there suggesting the vast majority of strippers are gay or bi-sexual... male and female strippers....

...and I'll bet the theaters are rooms full of screaming girls (and boys), just like the clubs...

I've heard that most gay porno stars are actually straight....one of my 2nd cousins is an example. He was on the streets and turned to porn to make ends meet.

This fall he is getting married to a lovely girl and works for a software company.

Female strippers...they aren't bi or gay because they all tell me they love me.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
