“Magic Mike XXL” reunites Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias, stars of the 2012 worldwide hit “Magic Mike.”
Channing’s character retired. So how does he get back into the business? It just takes one song to overtake his body and get him moving!
And then the road trip starts. And it seems they always stop at the same gay bar on this road trip. Spoiler Alert! Paris is Burning! That is all I will say, except, I laughed till I cried.
This movie is a guy road trip story. The stripping is incidental to the story line. It is not a heavy story line, but there is enough of a thread throughout the movie to keep it interesting and take some focus away from the fact that these gorgeous men are half naked most of the time. And it is written with great humor.
And Michael Strahan of Kelly & Michael is in this and has a cameo as a stripper in Jada Pinkett Smith’s club. I did not laugh till I cried during his scene, I had to instead keep from peeing in my pants! How’s that for a professional movie review! Mr. Strahan blew his scene out of the water. I was in shock at how limber he is, and when you see the client in this scene, I suspect you will feel similarly entertained.
I cannot recommend this movie enough. It was highly entertaining, and I would see it again in a heart beat. The music was also excellent!
Wait, trying to catch my breathe!

Oh yeah, did I tell you Matt Bomer and I hang out sometimes?
Glad to hear they went funny this time. I was totally baffled with the first movie when they tried to go serious towards the end.
Jealous! Movie was great, too!
I wanted to see Mike Strahan but I now want to see other ones reading your review.
