CHANNING TATUM'S ICONIC "SPICY" DANCE MOVIE LANDS NEW UK STREAMING HOME
Channing Tatum's Magic Mike has landed a new streaming home in the UK.
Released in 2012, the iconic dance movie stars Alex Pettyfer as Adam, a young college dropout who is introduced to the world of male stripping by seasoned professional Mike (Tatum).
As Mike takes Adam under his wing, he soon gets weary of the lifestyle and hopes to pursue his own business dreams. Meanwhile, Adam becomes reckless as he falls deeper into the world of drugs and parties, causing chaos for himself and those around him.
Magic Mike achieved a huge box office debut, opening with an impressive $18m in the US. It went on to receive two sequels, 2015's Magic Mike XXL and 2023's Magic Mike's Last Dance.
UK fans can now relive all of the saucy action as the complete trilogy is available to watch on Amazon's streaming service Prime Video.

Described as "spicy yet lucid", the original movie currently holds a 78% score from 215 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praised director Steven Soderbergh's creative vision, while noting Tatum's "heat and charm".
"It's not a major Soderbergh project, on paper, but it transcends every possible expectation, and his wrangling of the cast is so impressive that just about everyone comes out smelling of roses. Well, roses and baby oil," wrote The Daily Telegraph's Tim Robey.

"A smoothly distilled collaboration that balances Mr. Tatum's heat and charm - and ambitions that are as transparent as Mike's - with Mr. Soderbergh's cool, cinematic intelligence and ongoing preoccupations," said Manohla Dargis of New York Times.
"This is terrific entertainment with a sideline in wry melancholia and testosterone-fuelled philosophy," wrote Empire Magazine's Kim Newman, while The New Yorker's Richard Brody added: "Soderbergh has created a spicy yet lucid, surgingly high-energy yet smartly modernistic musical."
All three Magic Mike movies are available to stream on Prime Video.
