Magic Mike XXL reunites most of the original cast from Magic Mike. Unfortunately Matthew McConaughey has not returned – rumour has it he became too expensive once he won his Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club. Fortunately, Alex Pettyfer has also not returned. I felt he was the weakest element of the first one.

“But what’s it about?”, I hear you not asking. All you care about is hot guys getting their gear off, right? But I’m sure one or two of you want to know, so here goes. Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, the sequel finds the remaining Kings of Tampa also ready to throw in the towel. Why, oh why, oh why?

Hitting the road to their final show in Myrtle Beach, the venue of a stripper convention, with stops along the way to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys find themselves learning some new moves and shaking off the past in surprising ways.

Who doesn’t love Channing Tatum? Magic Mike XXL is Tatum’s way of making amends for Jupiter Ascending. I’m sorry, but all is not forgiven – a few more Magic Mikes oughta do it. Come along, enjoy the spectacle and have some fun with it. Oh, and there are some women in it too – Elizabeth Banks, Jada Pinkett Smith, Andie MacDowell and Amber Heard.
