Magic Mike for Testosterone Hunters

Magic Mike is the latest film showing a lot of male bodies in nothing more than strings and leather - and often less. It is aimed at testosterone hunters, those out for the thrill of undressing in public or for the voyeuristic pleasure of seeing someone do so. The story is supposed to represent that of a male stripper trying to enter a relationship. I took that from the description supplied by Warner Bros. It is not obvious when watching the movie.


If you expect any depth from the film, then you chose the wrong one. The only revelations you can expect are those of Alex Pettyfer, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer shedding it all. 

While a screen strip experience might be cheaper than going to the real thing at any given club, you have to put up with lengthy stretches where the hunks actually wear something. It's most deflating. The story line is by far not riveting enough to make the wait for the next nipple flash exciting. If I were you, I would wait until the movie is out on DVD enabling you to fast forward to the juicy bits.


Another draw back of the movie lies in the fact that all of the actors had to hunk up for some reason, I suppose the director knows why; I don't. To give you an idea, I have collected a number of pictures for you where you can compare before and after; and then decide what you prefer.
