In GIFs: Why you should see Magic Mike XXL this weekend

By Will Stroude

The weekend we’ve been waiting for is finally here: Magic Mike XXL has hit screens.

The seminal male stripping series is back for a second installment, and a second helping of stars like Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello and Adam Rodriguez as they offer us another brain-teasing slice of cinema.

The sequel is set three years after the first film and finds the male stripping troupe preparing to bow out of the erotic dancing game with one last “blow-out performance”.

But enough with trivial details like the plot. Here’s every GIF-based reason why you should be stampeding down your local branch of Odean come 5.30pm.
