Tatum and others to Shake Their Money Makers

Steven Soderbergh's film to be released next year is getting a good list of men to take off their clothes for next year Magic Mike. The film is based on the true life story of lead actor's Channing Tatum's life as a male stripper in Tampa before he made it big in Hollywood. In the film Tatum's character, Magic Mike, mentors a new guy that is trying to make his way up the ladder. Tatum's mentee is portrayed by Alex Pettyfer of I Am Number Four. Others that will be sharing the screen with the duo are Matthew McConaughey and Variety recently reported that Matt Bomer of White Collar fame has also joined the cast.

 Also it has been recently been reported that Joe Manganiello of True Blood is in talks to join these beefcake fest.  Not to mention that there is a rumor spreading that Soderbergh is not against having the cast go full frontal. If this isn't a film for the ladies I don't know what is.

I walked into this film with low expectations due to the fact that it didn't look that good but I was surprised. The writing on this film was great because there are a lot of gag and small moments that take you by surprise and leave you laughing. The acting talent on the show is also hilarious. By far I really enjoyed Aziz Ansari's performance in the film.  he has a combination of level headedness and freak out moments that make you just crack up.

This would be a great movie to see after a stressfull week to relax and laugh your head off.
