Review of Coyote Ugly (2000) by Gareth M — 10 Jun 2013

Grade: D+.

This film is another yawnsome and predictable chick-flick about a small town girl trying to make it in the big city. Violet (Piper Perabo) is a small town girl trying to make it as a singer/songwriter in New York. She gets a night job working in a raunchy bar to get by and falls in love with an Aussie boy, Kevin (Adam Garcia) who is a big fan of her music. I found the film to be really cheesy and cliche with a bad script. I found it really uninspiring and boring and considered switching it off at one point. It's pretty much a teen flick pretending to be more grown up; it follows the same formula, poor pretty girl with a sob story whose dreams come true and she meets a hot guy who turns out to be the man of her dreams. Yawn, give us something else. Whilst it had some sweet moments, it wasn't really for me.
