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.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
