do not understand all of the hate....


so I started my own posting. This girl CAN act and was a real bright spot in Magic Mike. I loved the fact that she was the lone responsible one that was seemingly not interested in anything Mike or any of the other male strippers were doing, and I believed her character. The scene where she finds her brother unconscious from drugs and she loses it was heartbreaking and I felt it, thanks to Cody Horn's acting. Not only is she a great actress she is jaw droppingly sexy. In fact, the final shot of her and Mike "wondering what to do for 7 hours" until her favorite breakfast place opens was a weak part of the otherwise interesting film. I did not think her character would EVER be interested in anyone like Mike. Thank God it was the last scene of the film. I liked Magic Mike BECAUSE of Cody Horn, among the other acting from McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Channing Tatum, and Olivia Munn. It's not a movie I would seek out but it was on HBO and I came into the film about 20 minutes into it and became interested in the characters. But the hate that has been shown here on IMDB for Cody Horn I simply do not understand. There are actors and actresses out there I think are not very good at acting but I have never said some of the things that have been said, here about Cody Horn. Jai Courtney of Jack Reacher and A Good Day To Die Hard is a perfect example. He might be a great actor but so far I am not impressed. Maybe it is the scripts or the parts are thankless. Whatever the reason, I will say he needs major improvement. Cody, on the other hand is gorgeous, sexy, talented and seemingly smart (granted I don't know her personally, obviously). My understanding is that there is a sequel planned. I hope Cody returns and has an even bigger part. I'll accept the premise she will be with Mike. Damn it!
