Wow - as I was watching the movie, I had the feeling of a miracle unfolding in front of my eyes.
A movie about male sex workers that depicts the profession, the performers, the audience and relationships in a serious, respectful, realistic and non-judgmental way?
Well written dialogues, quite original issues, an all-to realistic plot, good acting, a teenager that is actually as awkward and stupid as most teenagers are (despite being smoking hot)?
A movie that actually avoids objectification, clichés, plot twists and lazy written endings?
And a movie that includes incredible dancing, top notch stage performances, a bunch of incredibly hot guys, and doesn't leave me drooling (much) but rather in awe for the whole stripping business?
Every single character, be they male or female, multi-dimensional, complex and well-written?
Yes, such a gem does exist out there in the world. And it's Magik Mike. I'm so happy it exists, and it leaves me hoping for more movies of that intensity, depth and compassion. Kind of film that makes the world a bit brighter. Go see it!
