Wet and Wild

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2000)

Super producer Jerry Bruckheimer adds fuel and fire to an overdone love story. Girl (Piper Perabo) leaves small town and bitter single parent (John Goodman) to make it big in the city. She gets turned down one after another by everyone and moves into a run down apartment. She then gets robbed but finds a great job where she can makes some cash. She meets a boy (Adam Garcia) and has a fight with her parent. The parent gets injured, she has a fight with her boyfriend and loses her job. Then everything somehow comes together in the end. What Bruckheimer does to this story is turned the level of energy up quite a few notches. He adds in gorgeous women (Maria Bello,Izabella Miko,Melanie Lynskey,Bridget Moynahan,Tyra Banks)for some seriously good eye candy, loud thunderous music, Bruckheimer colors, camera shots and flair and a wild bar named Coyote Ugly. This is one love story other than Chasing Amy that guys can enjoy. The eye candy is popin all over and the music makes for big time fun. This is a summer popcorn flick. It just replaces the explosions and FX with beautiful women going buck wild on top of a bar. This is a good date film but if you're a guy make sure you keep your hormones in check or you could be leaving alone. For a high energy, full of eye candy, fun loving Bruckheimer film without explosions, Coyote Ugly is a not that bad of a choice.
