Michael Ledo Michael McCoy (Robert Ri'chard) goes to college, works a less than minimum wage job, and helps support his mom (Vivica A. Fox). At the urging of his unemployed older brother (DeRay Davis) Mike gets on stage and quickly becomes a sensation.Mike adds this to his full schedule which causes school and relationship problems.Okay. I'm a guy and I was bored. The dialogue was bad which made the actors look bad. Much of the film was guys dry humping the audience as dollars are unrealistically thrown into the air at random.The movie was filmed in California, but they managed to secure Atlanta plates (Fulton Co) for their vehicles to confuse us. I had a number of African-American males tell me this was a good film. I would respectfully disagree.Guide: No real sex outside of humping and groping. Partial butt nudity.

subxerogravity Let's get the obvious out of the way...It's not Magic Mike.I assumed that this movie would be the difference between Vanilla or chocolate. What is your preference ladies?Chocolate City is like every other movie I've seen on Bounce TV or BET late night when I'm flipping though the channel. The only difference is it's about Male stripping, but that is not much of a difference. It tries to go over the what it's like to be a professional exotic dancer but the film was too by-the-numbers to be anything but dull, and I'm not interested enough in the ups and downs of male pole riders to do nothing but sleep through it.Barely worth making fun of.

lm_crawford I was upset this was not in a theater near me so thanks BET! I've only been to two strip clubs in my life...one in Miami...and this movie right here captured the authenticity 💯%! If you missed it...don't listen to others reviews...watch it for yourself! I truly enjoyed this movie much more than the Mike move. The acting was on point. Michael Jai White...very convincing...Dee Jay...funny as always...loved seeing Imani back on the screen...Darin dang you still got it....alright now Tyson...Vivica...yep you played that mama...Ri'Chard wow hard to say this since we watched you grow up on television/ movies...YOU DID THAT CUTIE PIE! THEN they threw in the pros....good gawd Bolo!!!!! The others were great too...just don't know who was who but for a good night out....all will do! There were also some surprise cameos...ya'll did good!My bottom line: Hands down...better script, better acting and DEFINITELY BETTER DANCERS AND DANCING ROUTINES! Will watch again and again!

haywiresbayb Well, my mother said "Chocolate City" is better than "Magic Mike". She has already watched it like 10 times. I haven't seen "Magic Mike" yet but i think women will really enjoy "Chocolate City". Robert Richard from the television show "One on One" definitely gave a hot, engaging performance. Tyson Beckford's performance was hot as well but i hate his character in this movie. He made me want to punch him in the face..LOL :) This is not for men unless you are into men Ha! Ladies, i don't think your man would want you to watch this movie so try to watch it when he is not around..LOL. Anywho, I think the movie is great! Go check it out!
