This movie surprised me

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2000)

Ok, like most other females, I was not looking forward to seeing Coyote Ugly. From what the previews showed, I was expecting a bunch of girls in tight snake skin pants prancing around on top of a bar with liquor being poured all over them while guys in the bar (and in the audience) oggled. Well, I was completely wrong! The movie actually turned out to have a story...even if it was sometimes cheesy and predictable. The plot is about a young girl who aspires to become a song writer but has a terrible case of stage fright. She eventually seeks out a job and joins a group of girls working at a bar in NYC called Coyote Ugly. Although the story line is rather predictable and even though I wouldn't call the movie oscar worthy (god forbid), it was nevertheless very entertaining and a good choice for a Friday night out with friends.
