It's been three years since Tampa based Mike Lane transitioned from the life of a stripper - his stage name being Magic Mike - to his dream of starting his own custom furniture business, those three years mixed in terms of the goods and bads for him personally. His ex-troupe, the Kings of Tampa, minus who was their boss, Dallas, stop off in Tampa from their current home base in Miami on a road trip to a stripper convention in Myrtle Beach. As the remaining troupe members are nearing the end of their stripping lives, they, like Mike, who are at an advanced age beyond that of most strippers, they see this convention as their final hurrah in this life. Mike decides to join his old friends on the road trip to this send off. The current troupe members start to have their own dreams about their futures in being with Mike, while Mike has his own envy of his friends in his current life not being everything he hoped it would be. But especially without Dallas at the helm, the troupe members are feeling a bit lost, with Mike trying to inspire them, which he may or may not be able to do. As they make several stops along the way, they encounter many groups of women, which may demonstrate whether their thoughts about what to do at the convention is a good idea in if they still have what it takes. Beyond these encounters with women, the trip itself hits its bumps, with Mike needing to call in some favors and mend some bridges even to make it to Myrtle Beach, it not certain if those at the other end will accept Mike's pleas for help or his apologies.
Leave your thoughts about Magic Mike XXL.
| MetroMatt PriggeThey want escape, and what better way to escape than in a mindless summer movie that delivers on what it promised: namely ripped flesh delivered gyrating to bass-heavy hits, and at one point to a Nine Inch Nails song about really intense lovemaking. |
| The SkinnyJosh Slater-WilliamsNot only is XXL a better film than its predecessor, it's a revelation as the most (casually) progressive mainstream movie of recent memory. |
| Austin American-StatesmanJoe GrossTatum's charm seems second nature, his dancing is stellar and, as the star and producer of the shapeless but exceptionally enjoyable Magic Mike XXL, he delivers on both. |
| RedEyeMatt PaisEverything Entourage wants to be and has no idea how to accomplish. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeMagic Mike XXL is a piece of arm candy, as shallow as a mud puddle and just as bright. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun to hang out with. |
| Globe and MailStacey May FowlesIt may be a meandering road trip movie about a group of emotive performers who fancy themselves therapists, but Magic Mike XXL is an ingenious revelation of a film. |
| OregonianJeff BakerMagic Mike XXL might be a good time on a summer evening, a one-night stand best forgotten before the sun rises, but it is not a good movie. It's boring, repetitive and lunk-headed. |
| BuzzFeed NewsAlison WillmoreIt's total fan service. But it's not dumb about it. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussIt's musical, rowdy, sexy and celebratory -- a party with a purpose that insists the nation's diversity is evidence of its generosity. The producers could have looked to Whitman for a tagline: 'I hear America singing.' |
| IGN MoviesBrian FormoXXL lives up to its moniker. This isn't Magic Mike 2, this is Magic Mike LARGER. This film is about seduction via performance, and allowing each performer to have one take-home gem... The result is one of the most entertaining films of the summer. |
