Soapy unbelievable plot + too many dance routines in a so-so comedy drama - Magic Mike review by PV
The biggest weakness of this movie is the soapy plot - particularly in the second half. The resolution is unbelievable, frankly. I just didn't believe the character would make the decision he made.
Having said that, the movie is pleasant enough - and the dance routines, though there are far too many, are impressive as are the dancers and actors.
This dancing did feel a lot like padding at times, however - as though there wasn't enough story and depth to rely on dialogue, so let's have a strip and a dance with loud music!
The music is interesting though - if you watch with subtitles on it'll tell you who it's by too.
Not great; not rubbish. Just...nyeh... so 3 stars.

Quality shines through. - Magic Mike review by BS
No, this is no masterpiece. Yes, it always has that weird emotionless mask that Soderberg can't seem to shake. But it is a hell of a film considering the subject matter and basic plot. If you are a budding script writer or director, it is a masterclass of how to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
