Coyote Ugly

Director David McNally
Genres Comedy, Drama
Run time 97 mins Certificate 15

13th May 2011

This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. It is formulaic and totally genre driven but it does what it does very well. At times genuinely touching and funny, the movie rises above the terrible musical talents of its main character.

Surprisingly, for a Bruckheimer film, it also raises some interesting questions regarding the hyper-sexualisation of women in current Western society. If you can be bothered to think about them....

About the reviewer: bogartmenow

I love films, TV shows and shorts. Old films, new films, blockbusters and small projects. American, British, French, German. A big named star or a an unknown lead, it doesn't matter. I love to be surprised by film, to be moved by cinema and as long as this continues to happen, as long as there are still those that love film for films sake and continue to push the boundaries, then I will be a proud cinephile!
