Review: Channing Tatum returns as a brawny exotic dancer in Steven Soderbergh’s 'Magic Mike’s Last Dance'
If anyone was clamoring for a third Magic Mike vehicle, I missed it. It has been 11 years since the movie of that name about surprisingly complex male strippers and eight years since its sequel, “Magic Mike XXL.” Each of them deployed cinematic sleight of hand: Although they beckoned audiences with the erotic dancing of men who were carved in granite and yet as flexible as licorice, both films offered in-depth character studies within finely observed portraits of an intriguing subculture.
With “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” however, the series reverses course. Those who turn up expecting more sharp writing will find that the third installment has almost nothing to offer except sexy dancing. It may be cheaper than a trip to see the gentlemen of Chippendales but, artistically speaking, it’s on roughly the same level.
