![]() Magic Mike XXL isn’t surprising anyone this time out. Magic Mike XXL pulls off a legitimate magic trick, recognizing the expectations of its suddenly sizable fanbase and somehow exceeding them. Along the way, Mike convinces them to ditch the routines that Dallas burned into their individual memories (“You are not a fireman, Richie”) and embrace new routines that come from the heart. ![]() ![]() Sensing that their stripper endeavors are drawing to a close, the guys agree to venture to South Carolina for one last blowout bash at an annual dancers’ convention. Dallas (Matthew McConaughey), the freewheeling choreographer and club owner, has jumped ship, leaving beautiful but dense dancers “Big Dick” Richie (Joe Manganiello), Tarzan, (Kevin Nash), Ken (Matt Bomer) and Tito (Adam Rodriguez) rudderless. Picking up shortly after Magic Mike concluded, the sequel finds Mike (Channing Tatum) struggling to get his carpentry business off the ground when a phone call summons him back to Florida’s Gulf Coast. Where Richard Donner’s Superman once inspired us to believe that a man can fly, Magic Mike XXL convinces us beyond a shadow of a doubt that a dancer can leave the stage behind and open an ice cream truck that has a DJ booth attached - entertaining the masses and satisfying their sweet tooth at the same time. As a result, Magic Mike is believable, embraceable, and worthy of celebration. But the camaraderie and mutual respect – the Zen-like “chi” that’s preached and practiced by the men of Mike - is as organic as unforced as Entourage was artificial. It’s 100% bro-powered, telling the low-stakes story of impossibly handsome dudes living their irregular lives, and inviting us along for the intimate ride. #CAN YOU STREAM MAGIC MIKE XXL MOVIE#Magic Mike XXL often operates as the movie Entourage desperately wanted to be – or worse, actually thinks that it is.
