This movie would have been nothing without Channing...

Completely agree about the actress. I f'ing HATED every minute she was onscreen. Her acting was god awful and her constant bitch face got old after two minutes. I can't imagine why she was cast, but then again this movie was utter garbage with terrible performances all around, so I guess she fit in perfectly.

"Nobody puts Baby in a corner."

Bc she was suppose to have been a very uptight person. A serious girl who watches over her younger brother.

I'm not a fan of tatum at all and i dont find him attractive in the least, but i thought he did a good job and obvi his dancing and athleticism MADE the movie. he seems like a normal guy, it was a good role for him.

i completely agree also about cody horn, who played brooke.... she really made it hard for me to get into the movie... she is weird looking, horrible acting, sick posture.... everything was just terrible. sad. Could've been margarita levieva or jessica biel and the movie would've been a fully-formed cohesive piece :/

This movie was nothing even with Channing Tatum as the main star. There was practically no plot whatsoever and there wasn't even enough stripping scenes with the guys to drool over to make up for the non-existent plot. It also didn't help that Channing Tatum and Cody Horn had zero chemistry which translated into a failed attempt at a romance story. This movie failed at everything it tried to accomplish. It's not even worth watching again just for the hot guys.

I know I'm a vampire, Snookie.

When he moves, all eyes are on him. And Matthew McC stole every scene that he was in.

I thought Channing Tatum and Cody Horn were adorable together. She tried to be understanding but simply couldn't, despite their mutual attraction, because she was a very different person than he was. I thought her performance came across as very natural; b1tchy when it needed to be and awkward when it needed to be. I love the scene where Olivia Munn is hitting on her and she gets really awkward but tries to remain polite at the same time.

I thought she and Tatum had a lot of chemistry together. Their banter was priceless.

Forgive me for saying this, but I was a little confused by the title and subsequent post for this topic. If you didn't like the movie, that's fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion; however, you seem to be a genuine Channing fan yet totally rip a movie based on his idea and life! This movie would have been nothing without Channing quite literally because he and Steven Soderbergh came up with the whole thing; it was an vehicle for CT because SS liked working with the guy (in "Haywire" iirc) and thought it would make a good film (and personally, I thought it was). It just comes across as a little shallow to drool all over the guy yet rip apart something so personal to him into which he put so much time, thought and energy. It is not like ripping "G.I. Joe 2" or something.

I agree with you though that the female lead, Cody Horn, was not a very smart casting decision. She is not a very good actress, especially in regards to facial expressions and control, and I agree with another poster that their chemistry was luke-warm, at best. Soderbergh has a tendency (like his light filter choices mentioned in another thread) to take leaps on female leads in his independent/low-budget/personal-project flicks. For example, "The Girlfriend Experience" with Sasha Grey was a rather poor film in my opinion and she was pretty bad in that film (and I actually support adult film stars who try to make the transition to mainstream film/television). Another topic though.

Amen to all you said.

Channing Tatum made it worth watching. Other than that it was horrible.
I actually think the mini-pig was a better actress than the sister.
