GET OVER IT!

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2000)

I read with amusement the comments from writers disappointed, outraged, disgusted by this movie. Really, with a name like Coyote Ugly and all the previews you've seen what the heck did you expect? It certainly is not an epic, nor did it pretend to be.
I actually enjoyed the movie. I am not a 20-something like one writer, happy to have a movie for his/her age group, but a 40-something that just likes to be entertained.
I didn't expect wonderful writing or acting, but I would have liked more dancing. It was funny to see "dance double" on the credits after the movie - obviously the actresses didn't do all their own dancing as evidenced by the repeated shots of only the boots or their legs on the bar during one dance.
It was a fun movie, it entertained, it was nice to see a relationship where the guy wasn't a complete jerk and a girl that didn't play games. It was also delightful to see Melanie Lynskey in this move - she was great as Jacqueline in Ever After, it took a minute to remember who she was and she looked great.
So, I don't think it's a waste of time or money, depending on what you're looking for - if you want an epic stay home, if you want to be entertained go see it, just don't expect to be intellectually stimulated.
