"Chick-Flick" - that's about it

Rating: 3/10 (6 October 2000)

I couldn't say "Coyote Ugly" was the worst movie I've ever seen and all the girls I've met so far who saw that movie really liked it. To be honest - I didn't. First of all most of the plot is not that realistic (are they sure there are filthy bars like the one in the movie with girls like Tyra Banks in them?). Nevertheless my basic problem with this movie is that our hero (yes - she might be talented and some of her songs sound good in the beginning) needs almost the whole one and a half hours to fight the fear of getting on stage. Finally she makes it BUT it is her last time on stage - because she prefers to be a song writer. OK... Whatever... Then what the heck is this movie all about? If you don't want to be a star just forget about it? I don't know. Like I said - girls like it - but they also like the way the nice songs were destroyed by LeeAnn Rimes - who seems to be the actual hero. I don't.
