Coyote Lousy
From the hit-making producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Armageddon) comes Coyote Ugly. Moving to New York to pursue her dream of becoming a famous songwriter, Violet Sanford (Perabo) finds herself desperate and broke. Through a twist of fate, the shy, innocent Violet lands a job as one of the barmaids at the hottest nightclub in town - Coyote Ugly. The "Coyotes" spend more time on top of the bar than behind it, tantalizing the standing-room-only crowd with their antics!When this film came out it promised to be an intoxicating, sexy comedy starring an unbeatable cast of hot, new stars including Piper Perabo (Rocky And Bullwinkle) and Maria Bello (Payback), not to mention Tyra Banks.I have to admit, I wanted to see this picture. While it seemed to be superficial at best, it seemed to offer somewhat of a guilty pleasure, the same kind that Cruel Intentions offered. Nevertheless, the promises fell short, real short. The moviegoing audience wound up with a movie comprised of very few, if any, memorable images, cliche upon cliche, and no redeeming entertaining value whatsoever.The script was doctored many many times, and not one iota of depth or meaning was present in any snippet of dialogue. The characters were hollow, the story was absurd, and the climax was ridiculous. They tried to make the DVD worthwhile by packing it, but nothing could save this picture.
