You'll get your man-cake, if that's what you came for, but Manganiello works hard to show the sometimes harsh realities behind the oiled pecs and tear-away pants.

"La Bare" shows its reality-TV origin in its structure, to sometimes a clichd degree, but overall it is a friendly and affectionate backstage look at the world of the mostly-straight male dancers at La Bare.

It's hardly an essay on gender politics, but read between the lines and you'll find some interesting contrasts.

While (director Joe) Manganiello takes a generally straightforward, positive approach to his subject(s), he does show a bit of the dark side. Anyone interested in the art and/or commerce of male stripping will surely enjoy it.
