Theatrical report

Grrls.

You want women with balls? You want women who'll throw you down onto the bed and use you for the puny male sex object that you are? You want women who'll taunt you, tease you, love you, please you, please herself then kick you out to make breakfast? Your wait is over, boys and girls, coz they are here.

Rowwrrr!

Coyote ugly is about women taking control of their lives, their careers, their sexuality and the way men are allowed to perceive them. If you're a Cleo girl, it's a dream come true, especially when Adam starts taking his clothes off: What a body! What a boy! Cute as a kitten, sexy as a tom cat, sweet as a purring pussy.

Rowwrrr! Rowwrrr!

The story - small town girl goes to big city to make it big, meets boy, falls in love, etc. - is pretty standard and the acting is no great shakes but you can switch your bullshit meter off and get right into it, no worries. Sure, it's a chick flick, but the babe factor for boys/lippy lezzos is way high, too. The dancing is hot, the heart-throb is throbby, the heroine is a winner. What more could a girl ask for? You go girl!

FYI: "Coyote ugly" is the USA equivalent of "Dingo ugly".

PS: Did you hear about the blonde coyote? It got stuck in a trap, chewed three legs off and was still stuck.

BTW: For those who are keeping score, Adam does a bikini-line shot. That's now three for Hollywood after Tom Cruise's début in Eyes wide shut and Brad Pitt's follow-up in Fight Club.
