Product: Coyote Ugly [VHS]
Rating: 3.0
Brainless, but not without brawn
If you're looking for a film that's smart AND sexy, this isn't it. However, if you just want to relax and fill your mind with a couple of hours of loud music, a gooey romance, and a "dreams finally fulfilled" kind of story, this is the right movie. The women dance hard, the boy is cute (and one of the founders of the group Tap Dogs), and the songs Violet writes are a little too sappy to be pop. Playing the 'new girl' Piper Perabo turns in a believable performance as the wide-eyed hopeful in the big bad city. However, it was always a little too convenient that everytime she or those around her get in hot water, she always saves the day. The supporting cast of women are indeed bad girls punching guys and mouthing off whenever possible. The features on the DVD are actaully pretty inventive. So by all means buy the movie if you're gonna need something thoughtless to get through an all nighter or a slow Friday night. In short, it's just brainless fun.
