Leave your thoughts about La Bare.
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattLike the guys who gyrate on La Bare’s stage every night, the movie is luggish, good-hearted, and a little bit sad. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarIt's hardly an essay on gender politics, but read between the lines and you'll find some interesting contrasts. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyOverall it is a friendly and affectionate backstage look at the world of the mostly-straight male dancers at La Bare. |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterWhile (director Joe) Manganiello takes a generally straightforward, positive approach to his subject(s), he does show a bit of the dark side. Anyone interested in the art and/or commerce of male stripping will surely enjoy it. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThis tedious documentary about the titular male strip club in Dallas fails to deliver the goods. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergLa Bare takes its title from the club it chronicles, a male strip joint in Dallas. The name proves unfortunately apt for a rambling, superficial documentary that straddles the line between exposé and infomercial. |
| The DissolveNathan RabinIt’s a slick crowd-pleaser, but it’s perversely unrevealing about anything other than Manganiello’s affection for a the stripper experience. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonA crowd-pleasing, skin deep look at those who bare skin for a living |
| Washington PostStephanie MerryIn a jovial, if superficial way, he offers some perspective on the men behind the banana hammocks. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleIf La Bare had snarky voice-over narration, it could be a segment on "The Colbert Report." |
