I realize this is a twist on "Men in Black" but I don't know how to get that across in English.

Men Up-Close and Personal


Explanation:
I see the points have already been awarded but wanted to offer a suggestion anyway. Looking at the link from Paulo, this looks more like a "Vagina Monologues" than a "Men in Black" show, so something more than "up close" could work.
