...shines as a movie musical.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 5, 2023

The film is light, often hilarious, sexy, and ridiculous in a charming way, assuaging any heaviness for an effortlessly fun experience I would happily revisit.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 31, 2023

It's eye candy for the soul.

The only magic here is in the dance numbers.

| Original Score: C | Aug 10, 2021

Shallow stuff, but often raucously entertaining...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2021

What thrilled me most about watching XXL was not necessarily what happened onscreen-it's what happened in the audience.

| Feb 3, 2021

The story is so inconsequential that the film essentially resembles heavily edited porn.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 4, 2020

If you're really expecting more from Magic Mike XXL than gyrating and pulsating, then you're really going to be disappointed.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 15, 2020

XXL is not a movie to watch with someone you are not comfortable with. This is why it makes the perfect movie for a girls' night out.

'Magic Mike XXL' is one of those sequels that make the mistake of wanting to be bigger than the first installment only in the most superficial aspects behind their success. [Full Review in Spanish]

Plot-free, significance-free, character development-free and crotch-in-face heavy, Magic Mike XXL is a cheerful, inconsequential bit of jiggle and thrust, buoyed by a few strong performers.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 30, 2019

In a summer dominated by reboots and superhero movies, MMXXL is at once a thoughtful throwback and a gleeful example of how to cater to audiences without pandering to them.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 16, 2019

Bulging biceps and famous abs can only do so much; sometimes less is just less.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2019

Pure fun, plain and simple. A buddy road film for the ages, there's enough sexual innuendo to tide you over until next year, enough nervous giggles elicited to keep your mind wandering and plenty of good feelings that leave you wanting more.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2019

It's an honest-to-goodness good time, and on a cinematic level, it's far from trashy.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 13, 2019

The biggest problem with Magic Mike XXL is that from the very start, the film doesn't find its footing and never manages to. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Feb 15, 2019

The dances are hotter, the laughs funnier and thankfully, there's no lame love story.

| Feb 5, 2019

When "Magic Mike XXL" doesn't take itself seriously, it's actually kind of funny... Unfortunately, most of the time the film tries to take itself way too seriously.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 23, 2019

...Magic Mike XXL delivers on the first film's promise...judging by the audience of near-rabid women I saw the movie with, it was a borderline religious experience.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Dec 25, 2018

MAGIC MIKE XXL is a sex-positive comedy that invites the audience to talk about sex in a productive and provocative fashion.

| Original Score: B | Dec 14, 2018
