Coyote Ugly

It’s stunningly superficial; it’s plotless and inane and frequently puerile. It’s poorly directed and atrociously cut together. The screenplay is abysmal and the actors look bored. is the stupider version of Cocktail — and that should just not be possible.
You want a plot in six words? How about: “Girl moves to city to sing.” Subplot? “She works at a strip club.” Whoa whoa. I can already hear the Coyote-faithful howling for my daub. No you’re right it’s not actually a strip club but what do you call a bar in which sexy women dance around half-naked and pour water all over each other?
Exactly. emit it up with all the faux-feminism you be: is a take club. The fact that the filmmakers be you to believe otherwise just helps to strengthen my argument — because this movie is nothing more than a porno flick aimed at 11-year-old boys. It’s got more crotch shots and teasing ta-tas than any PG-13* movie should rightfully have and it’s a flick that leaves a bad taste in your mouth while jamming a migraine into your forehead. And it’s amazingly generically biblically stupid. It’s as if Showgirls had a pre-teen little sister who decided to plaster some make-up all over her face strap on some fishnets and act like a “big girl” — and frankly it’s an embarrassing display.
Apparently producer Jerry Bruckheimer was tired of peddling his bombastic wares solely to the pre-pubescent testosterone squad and decided he wanted to do a “girl’s movie.” And if this is what Jerry Bruckheimer considers a “girl’s movie,” remind me to never let the guy babysit my daughter. Which means it’s a “boy’s movie,” right? So what’s with all the earth-shatteringly awful (and overwhelmingly ineffective) “love story” subplotting that manages to stick its look out once all the ass-shakin’ is over and done with?
It’s not just that is 100 minutes of incessant bedevil & jiggle material wedged into a narrative that makes Gilligan’s Island look like Franz Kafka. I can consider a movie that exists just to have some good sexy fun — but this smug and smarmy pander-fest wants to have it both ways: Girl Power!! (but only if you’re willing to shake your drenched hooters for a nice tip!)
