The Merry Gentlemen is streaming on Netflix, but where was this hunky holiday affair filmed?

The latest Christmas-themed romance stars Chad Michael Murray (of One Tree Hill fame) and Britt Robertson (The Longest Ride) in a steamy quest to save a fledgling small-town performing venue. 

The movie combines Magic Mike with Santa's milk and cookies, with Robertson's Ashley planning a male dance revue to keep her parents' business afloat.

Magic Mike was marketed as a naughty but fun girls night out, but the movies tone was far more melodramatic than advertised. Despite the franchise carrying a collective cultural memory of being a guilty-pleasure series targeting women in the vein of Fifty Shades of Grey, only the second of the three movies, Magic Mike Xxl, truly lives up to its titillating reputation. Channing Tatums real life background as an exotic dancer actually inspired the character of Magic Mike.

Steven Soderbergh directed the first and third movies in the franchise, Magic Mike and Magic Mike's Last Dance. Soderbergh is known for his heist and crime films, most notably the Oceans trilogy. Soderbergh is not known for tapping into female desire. The posters for Magic Mike featured a shirtless Tatum with his cast mates, including Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer, all bare-chested over a black background. This sexy visual...

Don’t say it’s Magic Mike’s last dance just yet.

Channing Tatum, star of upcoming trilogy concluder “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” challenged “Hustlers” actress Jennifer Lopez to a strip-off.

“Am I a better stripper than her? I would say yeah,” Tatum said in a Vanity Fair lie detector test video. “I would go harder. If I was stripping against her, I’m just saying. I would take it to J.Lo’s front door. You’ve got to go hard if you’re going to go against the J.Lo.”

He added, “Man, I don’t know if I’m going to win, but I like my chances, depending on who the audience is.”

Lopez gave a Golden Globe-nominated performance as a lead exotic dancer in 2019 true-crime film “Hustlers.” Tatum has played the titular male stripper Magic Mike in the Steven Soderbergh-helmed franchise since 2012; the trilogy is...

Shocking family revelations are part and parcel of Finding Your Roots, the PBS genealogy show hosted by Harvard academic Henry Louis Gates. Using a mixture of historical research and DNA analysis, the docuseries has taught us that comedian Larry David not only descended from a slave-owning ancestor who fought for the Confederacy, but is also related to the politician he’s so gamely portrayed on SNL: Bernie Sanders. Questlove’s ancestors came to the U.S. as slaves on the Clotilda, the last known American slave ship which operated a...
