Matt Bomer does return, however, to the delight of all the gays and women in the world, who loved him in the first Magic Mike movie.īy Audrey Shine (Wild About Movies resident critic) Magic Mike 2, AKA Magic Mike XXL, does not feature the return of Matthew McConaughey or Alex Pettyfer, both of whom starred in the original.
MOVIE MAGIC MIKE MOVIE
Magic Mike arrived in movie theaters during the summer of 2012, going on to earn over $113 million in the United States, and was directed by Steven Soderbergh. The original cast all came together for this movie, except for Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettyfer.Magic Mike 2 is the continuing story of male stripper, Magic Mike, played by Channing Tatum. Mike, missing his old life, joins them on the trip of a lifetime and one last performance. The Kings want to celebrate their impending retirement from the stage and go out in style by participating in a stripper convention. The hunky gang reunites after three years when the Kings of Tampa (Mike’s old stripping buddies) call him to tell him that their former boss has left them in favor of a new show in Macau. The sequel to ‘Magic Mike’ is just as fun as the original. Like how in ‘Magic Mike’, Mike takes the new kid under his wing, Ramona similarly mentors Destiny and genuinely cares about her. Newbie stripper Destiny (Wu) strikes a friendship with veteran stripper Ramona (Lopez) and together they start a crime ring to rob their wealthy Wall Street clients, after the economic crash of 2008 renders them jobless. ‘ Hustlers‘ is a crime comedy directed by Lorene Scafaria and starring Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Stiles, and Mette Towley.
Not exactly featuring hot hunks as in ‘Magic Mike’, but hey, at least they’re male strippers. This hit British comedy is a complete and utter riot.
