Gloria Steinem would be proud

Rating: 1/10 (24 December 2004)

Have you ever seen a a dumb chick stop a bar brawl between sailors and construction workers by singing along with a jukebox? Me either.
In a buttshell: Dumb girl heads to big city to pursue pipe dream of pop star. Stranger in a strange land. Can't pay the bills. Crappy apartment in crappy part of city. Must resort to 'songwriting' on rooftop of crappy apartment building to avoid bothering neighbors. Gets job as new hot girl in sleazy cool joint. Dumb girl meets nice guy with accent in music industry. Oh enough. Puke.
Featuring a blockbuster performance by someone named Piper Perabo (huh?), this film is an abysmal petri dish, complete with women using T & A to sell booze to horny patrons in NYC. The cast is stereotypical in every way, and Tyra Banks even cameos as a sassy model-type that says things like "you go girl" and "oh no you di'int." The other girls include a psycho hottie, a tough boss hottie, and the other fill-in-the-blank hotties. Likewise for the men - all portrayed as beer-swilling blue collars, Jamison-swigging brokers, or tequila-shooting fratboys. How original.
The biggest problem? Why would John Goodman agree to be seen in this??
