musical thrill ride

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2002)

********possible spoilers********
i first watched coyote ugly about a year after it came out, i had given into pressure from friends who all thought it was great, i however was not too sure about seeing it. what i expected was some teen trash movie like the american pies of this world, but what i got was a well written, polished movie with great acting and great songs to boot. the basically unknown cast (to me anyway) did a great job at convincing me that a club like coyote ugly actually did exist, i would like to give credit to maria bello who played lil, she gives a great performance as the head of the coyote ugly bar. also piper perabo and adam garcia give good performances as the lead characters and also lovers in the movie.
overall a great movie which should have got more recognition! 7/10
