If you’ve seen the original Magic Mike, you know it’s not just “that male stripper movie.” Yeah there’s hilarious dance sequences and Matthew McConaughey in chaps and crazed, screaming women and penis pumps and bad acting from actresses who shall remain nameless. But the film, directed in all seriousness by Steven Soderbergh, takes a long, dark look at the world of male entertainers, complete with drugs, backstabbing, violence, and avarice.
