Magic Mike#TV series

Mike Lane has big plans for a business of his own but pays his bills through a series of odd jobs, most notably performing as the star performer at the Xquisite Strip Club in Tampa. It is owned by Dallas, who has dreams of creating an "empire" of male strip clubs.

Mike soon meets 19-year-old Adam, a recent college dropout looking for a construction job. He takes him under his wing and encourages him to begin stripping at Xquisite. Mike is introduced to Adam's sister Brooke. Despite his on-and-off relationship with Joanna, Mike finds himself attracted to Brooke and promises to look after Adam.

Adam falls further into the excessive lifestyle of the Xquisite dancers, using drugs and having sexual encounters with many clients. When Dallas announces he has a plan to move their act to Miami, Mike confides in Brooke that he is tired of the lifestyle and wants to get a small business loan to pursue his dream of opening a custom furniture business.

The bank declines his loan application and Mike realizes that he has to stay in the business to continue to pay his bills. He later attends a hurricane party at Dallas' house, where Adam becomes part of a scheme created by Tobias, Xquisite's DJ, to sell drugs to Xquisite's clients, and is eventually given a package of ecstasy. Adam begins using drugs regularly, and Mike notices more of Adam's reckless behavior, to the chagrin of Brooke, who is relying on Mike to protect him.

A few days later, Mike and Adam perform for a private party at a sorority house where Adam brings the package of drugs with him. There, Adam gives a young woman an ecstasy pill, causing a brawl between him and the woman's boyfriend. The performers are forced to flee without the drugs, which Adam says were worth $1,000. They also do not collect their payment, which infuriates Dallas.

After the next night's show, Mike and Adam take drugs and go to a club. Adam vomits and passes out; Brooke finds him on Mike's floor the next morning. Brooke angrily confronts Mike about his lifestyle, and ends her friendship with him. Tobias and his suppliers break into Mike's house looking for Adam, revealing that the drugs were actually worth $10,000. Mike gives up most of his life savings to pay Adam's debt in full, but Adam acts ignorant of the close encounter afterwards, quietly angering Mike.

Later, before the dancers' final performance at Xquisite, Mike decides he has had enough. Knowing that Dallas has no loyalty to any of them and is driven by greed, Mike leaves the club through the back. After realizing Mike is not coming back, Dallas promotes Adam to replace him as lead dancer.

Mike drives to Brooke's apartment and tells her he has quit stripping. Brooke has learned what he did for Adam, and she invites him to join her for breakfast. She playfully asks what they can do until morning, and then kisses him.

Magic Mike is directed by Steven Soderbergh based on a screenplay by Reid Carolin, who is also one of the film's producers. The screenplay is in part inspired by Channing Tatum's experiences as a male stripper in Tampa, Florida, when he was 18 years old. Tatum said that he wanted to capture the atmosphere and energy of his past as a male stripper, but that the film is fictional, which allowed them to create their own scenarios.{{cite web|title=Channing Tatum Interview for 'Magic Mike'|url=http://www.flicksandbits.com/2012/06/23/channing-tatum-interview-for-magic-mike/27587/|publisher=Flicks and Bits|access-date=September 1, 2012|date=June 23, 2012|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120701230933/http://www.flicksandbits.com/2012/06/23/channing-tatum-interview-for-magic-mike/27587/|archive-date=July 1, 2012|df=mdy-all}} The project, announced in April 2011{{cite news | last=McNary | first=Dave | url=https://variety.com/2011/film/news/soderbergh-tatum-eye-stripper-pic-1118036162/ | title=Soderbergh, Tatum eye stripper pic | work=Variety | date=April 29, 2008}} was co-financed by Soderbergh and Tatum.{{cite news|last=Kirkland|first=Bruce|title=Tatum remembers stripper past|url=http://www.torontosun.com/2012/01/18/tatum-remembers-stripper-past|newspaper=Toronto Sun|access-date=January 19, 2012|date=January 18, 2012}} Soderbergh was hired to direct after getting fired from Moneyball.{{Cite web |last=Lloyd |first=Kate |date=June 29, 2022 |title="How Would You Like a Lap Dance?": The Oral History of 'Magic Mike' |url=https://www.theringer.com/movies/2022/6/29/23186559/magic-mike-oral-history |access-date=March 11, 2023 |website=theringer.com}} In 2010, Tatum told an Australian newspaper that he would like to make a movie about his experiences as a male stripper, saying: "I've already got the director picked out.

The dance numbers were choreographed by Alison Faulk, while Christopher Peterson was in charge of the costume design and Frankie Pine supervised the music. Over the film, several dance numbers were performed. Music producer Jack Rayner created a special dubstep version of the song "It's Raining Men" sung by Countré Black for the dance sequence that features the ensemble for the first time together without The Kid.{{cite magazine|last=Bierly|first=Mandi|title='Magic Mike': Stripper Tales Exposed! — It's Raining Men|url=https://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20483133_20608044_21179388,00.html#21179377|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=September 2, 2012|date=June 30, 2012|archive-date=July 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120707022634/http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20483133_20608044_21179388,00.html#21179377|url-status=dead}} For that sequence, Peterson chose to use spray glitter on the umbrellas and raincoats to give them a wet effect.

The promotional campaign, which originally centered on straight women, also targeted gay men, after it had been made clear that there was a strong interest among them.{{cite news|last=Piepenburg|first=Erik|title='Magic Mike' Is Big Draw for Gay Men|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/05/movies/magic-mike-with-channing-tatum-draws-gay-men.html|work=The New York Times|access-date=September 2, 2012|date=July 4, 2012}} Warner Bros. enlisted entertainment marketing agency the Kartel Group to market the film to gay men. Website AfterElton.com noted that gay men could not connect with the first trailer, as the film "was marketed as a romantic comedy" through Tatum and Horn's relationship, but that it changed when the campaign also focused on "the male form part of it [the film]" through a red-band trailer (the fourth one). In June 2012, a Magic Mike float was included in the West Hollywood gay pride parade and in other gay pride events such as in New York and in San Francisco.{{cite web|last=McClintock|first=Pamela|title=Moms and Gays Boost 'Magic Mike's' Box Office Chances in a Big Way|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/magic-mike-stripper-channing-tatum-box-office-341507|work= The Hollywood Reporter |access-date=September 2, 2012|date=June 26, 2012}}

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three out of four stars, and wrote: "Selling anyone the right to touch your genital area for a couple of bucks is not a good way to build self-esteem. Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike makes this argument with a crafty mixture of comedy, romance, melodrama and some remarkably well-staged strip routines involving hunky, good-looking guys." Kofi Outlaw of Screen Rant called the film, "a subtle social commentary on blue-collar struggle and the pitfalls of the American Dream."{{cite web |last1=Outlaw |first1=Kofi |title='Magic Mike' Review |url=https://screenrant.com/magic-mike-reviews/ |website=Screen Rant |date=June 29, 2012 |access-date=2020-09-07}}
