Coyote Ugly - An interesting movie for teens!
"Coyote Ugly" is an interesting movie that falls more into the lines of a teenager type love story than what I had originally thought it would be. Billed as an "intoxicating sexy comedy" from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, this movie more or less falls short of that billing in that it relies more heavily on the "girl with a long shot makes it big" theme that has been highly prevalent in previous movies, leaving one with the overwhelming impression of been there, seen that.Performance wise; stars such as Piper Parabo, John Goodman and Maria Bello all do a great job with the script they had. I'm more or less surprised that Maria Bello hasn't become a bigger star as she definitely has it in her and she's an incredibly beautiful woman.This is the only movie from director David McNally II that I've seen so far and it would be hard to make a definitive judgment on his movie making talents based on this one movie that I didn't find particularly wonderful. Hopefully down the road he'll find a better script to work with.The Premise:As stated above, this is a teenager type movie about Violet (Piper Parabo) who moves from rural New York to the Big Apple to make it big as a song writer. Along the way she encounters the standard fare of difficulties of trying to get into that business and finds that she must take on a job at a bar known as the "Coyote Ugly" to try to make ends meet until she can get that "one big break."Overall, I'd say this is an interesting rental more than anything else. {ssintrepid}Special Features:-Additional Scenes Not Seen In Theaters-Behind The Scenes Featurettes*Coyote 101*How To Be A Coyote*Inside The Songs*Search For The Stars-LeAnn Rimes Music Video-Audio Commentary With Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Director David McNally And The Coyotes-"Action Overload" Reel Featuring the Hottest Moments From The Movie - Music Video-Style
