![]() The film uses cheap contrivances to explain why three key characters from the first film are missing (including McConaughey's Dallas) and why Tatum's "Magic" Mike would be interested in rejoining the stripper lifestyle. Too many elements that made the first film an enjoyable experience are missing. The problem faced by the filmmakers is obvious - Magic Mike was self-contained, made with no expectation of a second chapter - and they prove unable to surmount it. Sadly, the film's box office success made this superfluous sequel mandatory. ![]() ![]() It's easy to understand why the original Magic Mike was a success: the not-too-cheesy, not-too-serious story of a male stripper featured plenty of beefcake, high-energy dance sequences, standout performances from Channing Tatum and a manic Matthew McCounaughey, and a satisfying ending.
