Coyotes who aren't ugly

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2008)

I've never understood why reviewers and many people has rated this movie so low. It's actually a quite decent and enjoyable film, although of course it's not a masterpiece. The story is quite conventional and simplistic and that's might the reason that this film didn't reached so many people. Some of the gags are funny, but at times they also feels constrained. Piper Perabo is stunningly beautiful and delivers a okay enough act. It's a shame she didn't got a bigger breakthrough in Hollywood.
Though, she doesn't have enough chemistry with Adam Garcia on screen and the lines between them which the screenwriters came up with are awful. Adam himself doesn't show a big range in his act in this film. John Goodman does a decent enough act as Violet's father, although this is of course not his greatest part. The other girl actors (Tyra Banks, Maria Bello) delivers okay act, without leaving so much impression.
The target audience for this film are youths/people in the twenties/older teenagers and "Coyote Ugly" have all the ingredients to satisfy them, both males and females. Why does it then fall on the category "bad"? It's not the best movie in this category, but, like I said before, it's decent entertainment. The only bad thing I can come up with is that the story is predictable. Still, it's entertaining enough to don't make me my eyes leave the screen throughout the film.
I liked the song "But I Do Love You", while "Can't Fight The Moonlight" I learned to like throughout the years.
