COYOTE UGLY - (VHS) Romantic comedy drama about a young woman who moves to New York and gets herself a job as a barmaid in a decidedly unconventional nightclub. Spending more time on top of the bar than behind it she becomes part of one of New York's hottest nightspots... A sort of cross between Flashdance and Cocktail the Jerry Bruckheimer produced Coyote Ugly is a curiously named tale of booze and music in nocturnal New York. Centreing around a bunch of not-particularly-ugly barmaids who bond dance on the bar exchange gossip and go "whatever" and "like" a lot the film has a sort of brusque energy which makes it easier to ignore the fact that there's not really a lot going on here. There's a romantic subplot in which once-shy-now-loud out of town girl meets guy (over the bar obviously) and the fact that she dreams of becoming a songwriter one day.

The young cast including Piper Perabo Adam Garcia and Maria Bello are all as attractive as you would expect and the early presence of good ol' John Goodman lends some respectability to the proceedings. ...

The locals hire a band of professional warriors as protectors. ...
