Coyote Ugly (2000 Film)
The latest Jerry Bruckheimer production focuses on five twenty-something women working their way through life at a fashionable bar in New York City. Four newLeAnn Rimestracks highlight this collection. Though all from the pen of veteran songwriter Diane Warren, the tracks vary in style from diva pop ("Fight the Moonlight") to sentimental musings ("Please Remember"). It's only a matter of time before Rimes leaves country music completely behind for the sleek modern world of mainstream pop. The remaining songs are a hodgepodge of different eras.EMF's "Unbelievable" andSnap's "The Power" hark back to the early 1990s, whileDon HenleyandINXSdeliver the dancebeat kick of the '80s. The firing fiddle of theCharlie Daniels Band's 1979 hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" seems out of context here. But then, this bar must have one odd jukebox to begin with.--Rob O'Connor
