Magic Mike’s Last Dance Review
“Magic” Mike Lane bumps and grinds all the time. He’s the male stripper equivalent of a bank robber or cowboy who says he’s done with crime but then gets called back for one last job. “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” Channing Tatum’s third movie about a big-hearted, tough-talking Florida stripper, knows that we know Mike doesn’t feel truly happy unless he’s dancing.
Steven Soderbergh’s new movie does the “I’m done, don’t ask me to dance” thing in less than ten minutes, which is a good thing. A short prologue shows that Mike lost his furniture business because of the pandemic and now works as a bartender at events that are catered in Miami. That’s where he meets Max (Salma Hayek Pinault), the wife of a wealthy man in London who has grown apart from her and wants a divorce.
Max offers Mike a huge amount of money to dance with him one last time. After a short act of refusal, he agrees. It’s such a mind-blowing experience for Max (and the sex afterward is great, too) that she invites him to go with her to London to create and choreograph a stage show that will bring the Magic Mike experience to the West End. You know, the sort of thing that always happens.
The rest of the movie is a backstage drama about Mike and Max learning how to be a couple as they work together on the show and try to stop Max’s husband from shutting it down for breaking rules about building in historic districts, etc. All of this is just a series of routine obstacles put in the way of Max and Mike’s inevitable and well-deserved happy endings as lovers and creative partners.
“Magic Mike’s Last Dance” is a patchwork that takes its entertainment goals very seriously but its other goals less seriously. There are dance numbers, romantic melodrama plot devices, and strange but interesting 19th-century styles (Max’s teenage daughter Zadie, played by Jemilia George, tells the story of Mike’s rise through London’s upper classes as if she were reading an Edith Wharton novel from the 19th century). In many scenes, the working-class hero finds himself in situations where he doesn’t know what to do. Mike says, “Uh, we’re doing it!” when asked what he has planned for Act 3.
As is often the case with Soderbergh, who has been at the top of the directing heap for over 20 years but still has the point of view of a hard-working gig worker, “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” pays more attention to class differences than most Hollywood movies that take place in this setting would probably do.
When Max and Mike are talking about art, love, and happiness, the movie will sometimes cut to Max’s butler Victor, who is played by Ayub Khan Din. This is meant to remind us that most people don’t have the time to talk about such things without being distracted by boring everyday tasks.
Notice how well Tatum shows Mike’s feelings when he is suddenly thrown into a new world where he doesn’t have to fight to stay alive. He looks both happy and wary as if he thinks it will all go away like his furniture business. Tatum grew up in a normal family in the south of the United States. He made it in Hollywood without having rich or famous parents or connections in the business.

He still has a little bit of “I can’t believe this is happening to me” energy, which he uses whenever he plays Mike, but maybe even more so in this one. We can see why Mike would be thrown off by all the changes that have come his way. But we also know that he’s the kind of guy who can adapt quickly because he’s spent most of his life serving people like this and knows how to give them the fantasies they want without giving up too much of himself.
Final Words
Magic Mike’s Last Dance is an American drama movie directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault. It takes 112 minutes to watch and is in English. Magic Mike’s Last Dance is a patchwork of entertainment, melodrama, and 19th-century styles, paying attention to class differences. Mike is thrown into a new world, but he adapts quickly due to his experience serving people like Victor.
