Critic Reviews

"It's cheerfully raunchy, and delivers the goods for fans of male beefcake, though with more innocence, along with some sadness, than would appear at first blush."
Wall Street Journal
3 stars out of 4 -- "[A] crafty mixture of comedy, romance, melodrama and some remarkably well-staged strip routines involving hunky, good-looking guys."
Chicago Sun-Times
"[Soderbergh] has made sure that the onstage part of MAGIC MIKE is characterized by energy and flash."
Los Angeles Times
"[A] funny, enjoyable romp about male strippers and the American dream....Its clear the director is out to maximize everyones pleasure."
New York Times
4 stars out of 5 -- "MAGIC MIKE both is and isn't the freewheeling, fun-loving, male stripper extravaganza its trailers peddle. Running parallel to this flesh game is another of Soderbergh's nuanced looks at contemporary American life..."
Box Office
"[A]rguably the raunchiest, funniest and most enjoyably nonjudgmental American movie about selling sex since BOOGIE NIGHTS..."
Hollywood Reporter
"Almost as impressive as Tatum's moves are his comic flair and breezy grace."
USA Today
4 stars out of 5 -- "Soderbergh's out to give audiences a good time, and he succeeds."
Total Film
"Channing Tatum proves himself a true movie star. His Mike glides through the world with the ease of a god, and on stage he's electrifying." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
"There is no better actor for such a part than McConaughey, who inhabits the role while occasionally using it to send up his own public image." -- Grade: B
A.V. Club
"[T]his is a film about strippers having a really smashing ime, and on that level it's a likeable exercise in don't-take-yourself-so-seriously."
