A great movie to see if you are looking for some good, fun, light entertainment.

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2000)

This is your basic struggling artist makes it big (or at least is a success) story, but quite well done.
The trailers are not particularly reflective of the movie, so don't expect to see 90 minutes of babes dancing on bar tops, though happily that aspect isn't stinted upon either. Everyone in this movie is easy on the eyes and likeable, especially our heroine Violet (Piper Perabo). John Goodman adds some nice light comedic touches. It would have been nice to include the bar owner, Lil, a bit more.
The soundtrack is mostly solid rock music, and Violet's singing is sweet and catchy, I was humming tunes all the way on the cycle home. The soundtrack CD might be worth checking out.
