Perhaps you have heard of Magic Mike. Not because it is a movie that is destined to be a classic, oh no, far from that actually. You may have heard of Magic Mike because it is the movie of the year for eye candy. The film that will have you salivating, ogling the bodies of men as they dance and strip for your viewing pleasure, and maybe, just maybe, you may end up enjoying the story as well. I’m betting the bare chests and jutting hips are what get women, and homosexual men, into the audience on opening , June 29, and not the fact that it is directed by none other than the acclaimed Steven Soderbergh (Haywire, Ocean’s Eleven).

Magic Mike is a treat of voyeuristic proportion. Just watching the trailer sends shivers down your spine and stirs your emotions, or other unspeakable places. Fetishizing aside, there is a story behind Magic Mike; rumor has it it is based on actor Channing Tatum’s real-life experience as a stripper. Well, that just made it a great deal more interesting.

Official Synopsis and Credits from Warner Bros. Pictures:
Mike (Channing Tatum) is an entrepreneur. A man of many talents and loads of charm, he spends his days pursuing the American Dream from as many angles as he can handle: from roofing houses and detailing cars to designing furniture from his Tampa beach condo.
But at night… he’s just magic.
The hot headliner in an all-male revue, Magic Mike has been rocking the stage at Club Xquisite for years with his original style and over-the-top dance moves. The more the ladies love him, the more they spend, and the happier that makes club owner Dallas (Matthew McConaughey).
Seeing potential in a guy he calls the Kid (Alex Pettyfer), Mike takes the 19-year-old under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of dancing, partying, picking up women and making easy money. It’s not long before the club’s newest act has fans of his own, as the summer opens up to a world of fun, friendship and good times.
Meanwhile, Mike meets the Kid’s captivating sister, Brooke (Cody Horn). She’s definitely someone he’d like to know a lot better, and it looks like he has a chance…until his lifestyle gets in the way.
Magic Mike stars Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, Cody Horn, Olivia Munn, Matt Bomer, Riley Keough, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias.
