Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault close out the Magic Mike franchise with a bang - you might need to go out for a smoke after. TaraDBennett's review of Magic Mike's Last Dance:
films, they have certainly taken us on a ride. With, Channing Tatum showed off his assets, and dazzling dance moves, in a sorta-somber look at the dark side of male stripping.was the shallow romp with Tatum assembling a hot dance crew to put on “just one more show,” like a dirty version of The Muppets. And with, director Steven Soderbergh, writer Reid Carolin and Tatum reunite for the last time with an unabashedly romantic fairy tale for the “just can’t quit it” dancer, Mike Lane.
But it’s framed as more than just base chemistry for the pair, as they experience a seminal moment with one another. That dance ignites a personal epiphany for Max regarding her dormant passions long snuffed out by her suffocating marriage. She wants to showcase Mike’s talent, wooing him to follow her to London for an opportunity she promises will finally take full advantage of his potential.
On the plus side, there are some charming sequences of Mike acclimating to Max’s life, the two flirting but not touching and even a Zoom cameo by his OG stripping crew: Ken , Big Dick Richie , Tarzan and Tito . Maybe the oddest addition is the random injection of some staid narration about the transformative nature and ineffability of dance by Zadie . Clearly, those mini monologues are there to land the “dance as a conduit to magic” metaphor, but they’re clunky and unnecessary.
