Dreams in the Big City

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2001)

When I saw adds for this movie I thought it was going to be like a border line porn flick but then a friend of mine rented it and he said I would really like and to watch it. So after some debate I did. He was so right! This was a fantastic film.
Violet Sanford is a small town New Jersey girl who moves to New York City to pursue her dream of being a song writer. When she gets there she finds out it's not as easy as it seems. After approaching all the music studios with her tape she finds that no one will even listen. She goes to this club and meet Kevin this cook that she thinks is a big music director. She gives him her tape and learns, after he's already got her tape he's not who she thinks he is. She's completely upset and then comes home to find that her shabby apartment has been broken into and the money her friend gave her is gone. She goes to a diner almost broke and very depressed and that's where she sees them--The Coyotes. The guy behind the counter tell her where they work and she goes there and gets hired. At first she has trouble keeping the job because she's very shy. She almost got fired 2 times then she goes back to get the tape from Kevin and he asks to see her again. He wants to know where she works and all she will tell him is that she's a coyote. Well he finds her and with his help and their blossoming love for each other she finds her way. It an amazing film with wonderful party and dance sequences as well as a good love story. It's a story of finding yourself and finding success in the big city. It's also got that element of love that I so love to watch. It's a great movie, definitely worth the time.
