Sure, former-male-stripper-turned-Hollywood-leading-man Channing Tatum has got some hot, hot moves in the new Magic Mike XXL film. But how does he and the other sexy male strippers in the movie stack up against the real thing? To find out, real life exotic dancers watched and critiqued all the hip gyrating and grinding to discuss what the movie gets right about male stripping. Here’s what they said (watch the video below):
Overall, the male strippers were very impressed by the hot moves and the hot bods in the film. Awesome Antonio was especially feeling, “The beat. That sexual beat. That hot sexual beat where you can be like grinding with the music, kinda uh uh uh, ya know.” Uh, yeah. We know, Awesome Antonio. Another guy praised Channing Tatum’s “excellent” moves and said, “We need more guys like this in the business.” One stripper critiqued Tatum’s body, saying he could “be a bit more symmetrical,” while another praised his physique: “If you’re too in shape, you’re very intimidating to the women. Women tend to gravitate toward a man who’s realistic, ya know. Not their husbands, though.” And the strippers were especially impressed by Tatum’s hip-hop, popping-and-locking style, which they thought was fresh and representative of how strippers get down on stage today. To put it another way: go see the movie.
