Not Just for Women

Though it's marketed as a movie full of eye candy for women, you know that Steven Soderbergh is going to make more than a pure fluff film. The story, one of survival in the world of male stripping, is interesting and the characters likable and deep. Channing Tatum's acting chops have really grown and it's probably that his real-life past with stripping allows him to portray his most nuanced and believable character to date. Soderbergh injects the film with a fair amount of humor, but knows how to produce weighty emotional scenes when needed.
