spoiler do not read this and if you think about watch that movie and although it would be a waste of time . ( by the way represent the plot be so predictable that it do not make any difference if you read this or not anyway ) if you be wonder whether to see coyote ugly or not represent do not . it not worth either the money for the ticket or the vhs or dvd . a typical chick feel good flick and one could say . the plot itself be as shallow a it can be and a ridiculous and uncritical version of the american dream . the young good look girl from a small town become a big success in new york . the few desperate attempt of give the movie any depth fail and such a the tragic accident of the father and the difficulty of violet relationship with her boyfriend and and so on . mcnally ( director ) try to arouse the audience pity and sadness put do not have any chance to succeed in this attempt due to the bad script and the shallow acting . especially piper perabo completely fail in convince one of jersey fear of sing in front of an audience . the only good ( and quite funny thing ) about coyote ugly be john goodman and who represent the small ray of hope of this movie . i be very astonished and that jerry bruckheimer produce this movie . first go in 60 second and now this . what happen to great movie like the rock and con air . that be true bruckheimer stuff . if you be look for a superficial movie with good look woman just to have a relaxed evening and you should better go and see charlie angel ( it much more funny and entertaining and self ironic ) instead of this flick . two thumb down ( negative ) .
