CHANNING TATUM TEASES US ONE FINAL TIME FOR MAGIC MIKE’S LAST DANCE Friday 10 February, 2023
SYNOPSIS: MAGIC MIKE’S LAST DANCE Just in time for Valentine’s Day comes the third installment of the blockbuster “Magic Mike” film franchise, the musical comedy “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.” The creative team behind the first film, which garnered praise from critics and audiences alike, has reunited to create the magic again: Channing Tatum reprises his role as Mike Lane and Steven Soderbergh returns to the helm with a script from Reid Carolin, who also wrote the first two films. And starring alongside Tatum is Salma Hayek Pinault (“House of Gucci,” “Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard”). “Magic” Mike Lane (Tatum) takes to the stage again after a lengthy hiatus, following a business deal that went bust, leaving him broke and taking bartender gigs in Florida. For what he hopes will be one last hurrah, Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite (Hayek Pinault) who lures him with an offer he can’t refuse…and an agenda all her own. With everything on the line, once Mike discovers what she truly has in mind, will he—and the roster of hot new dancers he’ll have to whip into shape—be able to pull it off?
REVIEW
For the Atlanta screening, Magic Mike really went out big one last time as they hired male dancers before our screening. It’s not a Magic Mike-like experience without the chiseled chest, wife beaters, jeans and an occasional baseball cap. That’s standard Magic Mike attire. They performed in the theaters like an actual strip show (they just took their shirts off) and truly “pony” it up. A great way to start the film.
For the Magic Mike film itself, the ending of the trilogy was really interesting. They made sure to stay away from the first two Magic Mike cliches actually. They took it to London and made it more of a broadway production. Magic Mike’s dance skills if you think about it, are pretty theatrical. To spin it in a way where we take the dance routine to a large stage was and different twist. Instead of scouting for your traditional bachelorettes or young and rowdy ladies, we can expand the performance to a more mature, sophisticated and even older crowd. It showcases Magic Mike can be for all – not just a boxed in demographic.
It also showcases that Magic Mike isn’t all raunchy and oversexed. Yes it’s still a sexy production, but in this final tease, we get more than just the chest and the bump and grinds. It’s visual to the point Magic Mike routine can be toned down and even suitable to teen girls, that is until Pony comes on! I want to add Salma Hayek looks stunning for 56. She can easily be 36. I love how people are truly aging backwards lately and she was the epitome of it. The ending dance routine really is mind blowing, let’s just say it truly a “happy ending”.
