Are They Seeing the Same Thing?

Channing Tatum, the up-and-coming star of Step Up, has his looks described very differently by two critics. Armond White, reviewing She's the Man, says:

as the estrus-provoking Duke, Channing Tatum’s casting proves radical. His
resemblance to feral Stephane Rideau, the ambivalent, sexually alluring star of
Andre Techine’s seminal Wild Reeds, helps connect She’s the Man to the finest
film ever made about adolescent maturity.

while Phillip Stephens of Pajiba says:

Step Up begins with Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum), a violently unappealing
mongoloid who might be the bastard progeniture of Josh Hartnett and a Marine
drill instructor.
