Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Magic Mike XXL (out Jul 9) sees Channing Tatum (aka Mike) team up with his buddies after a 3 year absence and head to the annual stripper convention (yes, such things exist). Director Greg Jacobs has a good eye and the film's female presence has been given a boost with Amber Heard, Jada Pinkett Smith and Andie MacDowell who are all terrific. Only weak point seems to be stripping scenes themselves (not that I'm an expert). Grade: B+.
