Not just bar dancing.

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2000)

This movie was excellent. I was waiting to see this movie for a while, and I was not disappointed. While the trailer does the movie some justice, the plot was actually good even though it started to get a little predictable at the end.
I did not expect a whole bunch of girls dancing on the bar for two hours, but that wouldn't have been bad. I had a feeling that it was going to be a girl that was trying to make it in the big city, and it was. Though, I was impressed at the way Violet/Josie (Piper Perabo) started to get the hang of the big city as the movie went on. She started to lose that cute country girl look and took on an edge that seemed appropriate for her character.
As for the other girls, even though their parts were small, they played them well. 'Lil (Maria Bello) was very tough as nails, but not as much as Rachel (Bridget Moynahan), who played the violent loner coyote. Cammie (Izabella Miko) and Zoe (Tyra Banks) had minor roles.
Overall, I would say that the movie was very well done with an excellent plot, good dancing and "party tricks", i.e. spitting fire and such. Women as well as men would get a kick out of it.
