Product: Coyote Ugly [VHS]
Rating: 1.0
one of the poorest films I have ever seen....
I wanted to see this film because I heard it was a fun and fluffy "pro-feminist" story. It was supposed to be engaging and sexy. Instead, I thought it was demeaning, unengaging and poorly acted. I know some might think I read into it a little too much because it is supposed to be one of those "fluff" films aimed at young teenage boys and women who need a little boost for their self esteem as sexy, independent beings.Violet (Piper Perabo) is a shy and ambitious songwriter, who leaves the shelter of the home she shares with her father in New Jersey to the edgy environment of New York City. She doesn't know a soul and happens to wander into a bar filled with "coyotes" (women who dance on the bar table provocatively and also bartend for the many--predominantly male--customers). This obviously male fantasy of a young, sheltered artist breaking out of her shell and becoming more in touch with her sensuality was just silly. At the end, I found myself caring less and less what the resolution was and asked myself why I even wasted the $2.50 at the video rental to begin with!!!!
