Every now and then a movie that looks awful turns out to be good. In the case of the current summer blockbuster season so far, the films that seemed dismal proved to be just that, and several promising films fell flat (we're looking at you, Ridley Scott). But now along comes Magic Mike, a film about male strippers at a club called Xquisite. In the initial trailer and promotional clip, we saw the men hold umbrellas suggestively and grind to It's Raining Men. Those clips suggested the film would be nothing more than a gimmicky spectacle.
