Rating: 2.0
An Barely OK Rendering On A Tired Motif
When Coyote Ugly was released four years ago, most reviewers said the movie was "more than chicks dancing on a bar". After seeing it, I agree. This movie is so predictible. Get a young, motivated, talented [but slightly immature] young girl out of Small Town, USA to Big City, USA to pursue her dream. Have her then hone her craft for various companies and getting rejected time and time again. Have her end up in a lonely diner with only a few dollars to her name. To remendy her cash problem, she gets a job at a sleazy bar. Over time, the bar overtakes her life, and she loses her boyfriend and dad in the process. In a realignment of priorties, she walks out of the bar, and refocuses on her dream. In the end she makes it.That my friends, is the plot of this movie. For most people (myself included) this movie is a totally futile effort, topped by a totally annoying performance by Piper Perabo. The only people who might like this film are teens and twenty-somethings and those needing a little something to watch in the middle of the night (again, like myself).
