Looks like the summer will be started off with some chocolate. If you liked Magic Mike, then you’ll probably want to check out Chocolate City, seeing as how Magic Mike was lily white. Delve into the world of stripping as our protagonist stumbles onto it as a way to make ends meet. It’s a realistic premise. The Magic Mike sequel will be released later this summer, so maybe Chocolate City will have an advantage by coming out first. Check out the synopsis and trailer below. Leave your kids at home.

Synopsis:

Welcome to Chocolate City, where the music is hot, the mood is magical, and the exotic male dancers are simply delicious. Women go wild as these toned, talented men make fantasies come true… and the arrival of a young, new exotic dancer (Robert Ri’chard) has the spot sizzling like never before. At home, he is Michael, an inner city college student struggling to help his mother (Vivica A. Fox) make ends meet. However, when his part-time job doesn’t pay the bills, Michael begins to find success at a nightclub dancing as “Sexy Chocolate.” As the money starts rolling in, Michael must deal with the unexpected pressure of being the female clubgoers’ favorite flavor while hiding his new “job” from his mother and girlfriend. Co-starring Tyson Beckford and Michael Jai White, Chocolate City is a steamy, fun ride that has all the right moves.
