Michael, a college student, is struggling to help his mother (Vivica A. Fox) make ends meet. When his part time job doesn’t pay the bills, he begins to find success at the nightclub dancing as “Sexy Chocolate”.
As the money starts rolling in, Michael must deal with the unexpected pressure of being the new favorite flavor while hiding his “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.
‘Chocolate City’ received few criticism over its similarity to the ‘Magic Mike XXL’ movie, but Tyson Beckford the contrary of the comparison .
” I hate when people use that reference, because it’s totally about a different kind of experience, Black strip clubs and White strip clubs are totally different. – Beckford”
