Take Tom Cruise's worst film ("Cocktail"), get rid of Cruise and Bryan Brown, add some supermodels, and viola! Instant college-age male-targeted hit! Those studio geniuses are going to get so DAMNED RICH! Now why didn't I think of this?Okay, let's take Nick Nolte's worst film ("I'll Do Anything"--he sang in that film), replace Nolte and Albert Brooks with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, add Cindy Crawford and Heidi Klum, place it in the year 2060 on Mars, and KA-CHING! The money will be rolling in for next summer's blockbuster: "We'll Do Anything On Mars"!
Who I ask is going to go see this? I'm a member of that college-age-male demographic and none of my friends (yes I do have them) are excited about this movie. First off, think of your recent college-age-male movies that actually made money. Gladiator, MI:2, The Waterboy, etc. All these movies have something in common. The college-age-males could actually take their girlfriends/prospective girlfriends/mixed-gender cliques to see these movies. Now think of the bombs targeted at this audience: From Dusk 'til Dawn, Basic Instinct, etc. Notice the lack of ability to take women to see these flicks? Yeah, we college-age-males like movies with attractive women, blood and loud noises in them. But somebody is in for a rude awakening in that we are not going to go see 90mins of hot women performing stupid bar tricks. Lastly, a country bar in NY. From the trailer it appears the audience is actually made up of "Southerners" and not New Yorkers [perhaps this is a sly commentary on NY's senate campaign, but I doubt it]. Apparently, somebody thought that movie goers would buy a 9 million person Memphis set where NY, NJ, and the Atlantic converge.
The two reasons for this movie to exist are 1) bad market research or 2) somebody needed an excuse to can a director.
the film is based on a bar in NY called coyote ugly run by some hot women who do dances on the bar at certain hours. a guy i spoke with said that he can't go there anymore, as it is now full of tourists. still, the movie looks like it will suck.
I am still kind of puzzled by the trailer. Are they strippers who tend bar or are they bartenders who strip? Do they serve drinks nekkid?

I think careful research is required to answer this question. I think I owe it to my fellow inmates to see this film and check it for redeeming er, "qualities."

Let me know if there is any nudity. I refuse to go if there isn't.
Now come on now Steve, did you seriously believe that "Cocktail" is the worst Tom Cruise film ever? That was a film that the producers had to know was a stinkburger from the get go.I would have to say the MI-2 is in the end a much worse film. Here is a film which a huge budget, a well known director [even if he hasn't made a decent film since leaving H.K.], a cast of numberous skilled actors and they all come together for the amazing feat of having Tom Cruise fly through the air on a motorcycle without once messing up his hair.
And to absolutely accurate, "Coyote Ugly" is a unholy marriage of "Cocktail" and "Flashdance". Instead of one Jennifer Beals degrading herself to a room of inebriated Neanderthals, we now have six and according to the ad, new women looking to join this sisterhood of objectification everyday. You go girl!
See you in the theatres :(
