She is mesmerizing.

Anybody that thinks Ms. Horn cannot act is only used to over-the-top 'acting,' the more common Hollywood rubbish. The subtlety of her facial expressions, the nuances in her speech, that is what makes her acting (and her) so appealing and GENUINE. She is exactly as a normal person is in the movie, not a caricature. Some people may prefer the latter, but they should not mistake such a preference for 'better acting.' This is probably a reflection of people's lack of appreciation of, and attention to, detail.
I wish her well in her career and hope to see her more often.

Nice of you to come on IMDB Mr. Horn but her acting is pretty terrible. Especially when she attempted to cry in Magic Mike. Beautiful girl though, congrats!

I tend to agree. I had only seen her in The Office before Magic Mike, and she gave off similar vibes in both.

In The Office she came off as a teenager who didn't care about the bullsh** that is the paper industry, which worked well with TO's theme of a sinking ship and played well for comedy, and although she had sort of the same "I'm over this" face in both of these properties, I do also see the subtleties and nuances you're speaking of.

In Magic Mike, similarly to how she was over the paper industry in the office, she was sort of the one with her head on straight. She wasn't as crazy or over the top as anyone else in the movie. I'm not sure about her range, but for a stylized movie like MM I thought she fit very well.

I've only seen her in Magic Mike and she gave a natural performance. Very convincing as a regular girl.
