you've got to be kidding me.

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2000)

My boyfriend discreetly implied he wanted to see this movie. so I gave in. What a mistake.
I'd like to know who thought this would be an even remotely interesting idea for a movie, and then took it one step further by writing it down and eventually putting it on screen so I can beat him/her senseless and take back my $7.
Seeing the movie had the predictablity of a Road Runner cartoon, about 20 minutes into the movie I started balancing my checkbook by the light of the movie projector, glancing up to see that everyone BUT the main character was somewhat 3-dimensional, and sometimes, dare I say, likable (such as her father, best friend, and boss at the bar). I also saw that the previews were a big trick. I thought Tyra Banks was supposed to have a part in this... her picture WAS on the poster... But that aside, I think the movie would be mildly entertaining if they had more interaction between the girls at the bar. Like one of them has a herion addiction and feels the need to put herself out of her misery. But then I forgot about the PG-13 rating.
So, every time the bar scene (the few that there were, seeing as most of this 120 minutes was dedicated to weak dialouge contributing to the cliche plot) became somewhat interesting, they'd ruin it by singing. Too much singing. Unnecessary singing. At times INTOLERABLE singing (the songwriting dream... aforementioned cliche plot). Then it occurred to me they wanted something to appeal to girls...
Ahhh.. how clever. Her songwriting dream. So if you're a boy who still has his nights interrupted by wet dreams and needs a visual fix by girls dancing on bars, or a girl who's all about 'GRRRL Power!' and 'I know she can do it if she just BELIEVES in herself', or even if you're just an average person who's day planner needs rearranging, go for it. The way I see it, this was my punishment for all the things I've done wrong that my parents never found out about.
