Film: Magic Mike (15)

Director: Steven Soderbergh

Channing Tatum takes his top off! Have you heard that Channing Tatum takes his top off? Have you perhaps missed it on the side of London buses or pasted over bus shelters across the county? Perhaps you might have missed that Channing Tatum takes his top off in this most ridiculous of comedy storylines following a male stripper as he mentors a newbie on the block who is also taking his top off. Are you aware yet that there might be copious numbers of men taking their tops off in this film?

This is silly, but being billed as a comedy and with seasoned and respected director Soderbergh at the helm (admittedly for his first proper comedy) it seems to be on a right enough track to possibly warrant the deluge of publicity. Also starring Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and Olivia Munn. Mostly as men taking thier tops off.

Released Wednesday 11 July
Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
