A guilty pleasure favourite

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2014)

This is a fun, sexy, trashy and sweet movie. I've watched it a couple times now because the dancing on the bar scenes are all kinds of awesome -although as a former bartender I also know how hard the girls are working and this just makes me feel exhausted. I remember those endless busy nights, pasting on a flirty smile and going home with the sunrise all too well.
Anyways, I enjoyed Violet (Piper Perabo) here, especially the relationship she has with her dad (John Goodman) The romance angle is kinda meh as is the whole (inherited) struggle to become a songwriter with stage fright in NY. Still it's one of those guilty pleasure movies people don't admit to watching and enjoying. 12.30.13
