Coyote Ugly (2000)
This movie surprised me
Ok, like most other females, I was not looking forward to seeing Coyote Ugly. From what the previews showed, I was expecting a bunch of girls in tight snake skin pants prancing around on top of a bar with liquor being poured all over them while guys in the bar (and in the audience) oggled. Well, I was completely wrong! The movie actually turned out to have a story...even if it was sometimes cheesy and predictable. The plot is about a young girl who aspires to become a song writer but has a terrible case of stage fright. She eventually seeks out a job and joins a group of girls working at a bar in NYC called Coyote Ugly. Although the story line is rather predictable and even though I wouldn't call the movie oscar worthy (god forbid), it was nevertheless very entertaining and a good choice for a Friday night out with friends.
The Audrey Hepburn Story (2000)
I knew that it wouldn't be worth anything and I was right
As a die hard Audrey Hepburn fan I was looking forward to the story of Hepburn's life...until I heard that JLH was going to star as Hepburn. That right there did it for me...JLH is not a talented actress and was not deserving of the role of Hepburn. Not only was the acting and script corny, but JLH's accent was way off and the several sports bras that she claimed to use did nothing to flatten out her figure. I know that something as petty as breast size shouldn't be used to judge an actor's performance, but appearance does affect the presentation of the movie and JLH just did not have the body type. Of course it will never be possible to perfectly cast Hepburn's part but why didn't they look further past JLH? What about Natalie Portman? Of course, Natalie Portman probably wouldn't stoop so low as to appear in a "made for TV" movie. That's just my two cents...
