A good movie if you want to have a great time!

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2000)

Finally, after months and months of endless waiting, a movie is produced that not only Men and Women can thoroughly enjoy together, but also manages to make the audience feel good about paying $8.00 per ticket. Oh, by the way, I said produced didn't I, but I forgot to mention the masters name...Producer extraordinaire Jerry Bruckheimer adds yet another great movie to his resume (including Armageddon, Flashdance, Beverly Hills Cop, American Gigolo, and Top Gun among many others). Bruckheimer also maintains his reputation for producing movies that first and foremost deal with entertaining his audience...such as Coyote Ugly. This movie offers something for everyone, whether it be attractive women controlling men completely, a great sound track, an aussie hunk, a decent love story, comic relief, a great new talent in Piper Perabo, or the time tested lovable antics of John Goodman... Coyote Ugly delivers. What the critics seemed to have forgotten the occasional attraction we simple moviegoers have to a movie that is just fun to watch. When it comes down to it, that is all Coyote Ugly really is, a fun movie that provides a solid two hours of entertainment for an audience weary of pumped up thrillers and human dramas that leave you in a far worse mood that if you had never even heard of the movie. If you want an earth-shattering tale of tragedy I would suggest that you stay away from that rollicking good time that is Coyote Ugly.
