Most critics hated this film, so you may be wondering why I've chosen it today. Well, our Movie Talk strapline promises the good, the bad and the ugly on screen, doesn't it? And, the fact is I actually quite like this movie. It's certainly not the best in the world, but it's entertaining enough and wins points from me for having Blondie and LeAnn Rimes on the soundtrack.
I have to say though that a Coyote Ugly bar is my idea of hell. I had opportunities to visit the saloon in two of its locations last year when I visited the US, but I didn't take them. It was the last place I wanted to go.
There are loads of bars and clubs in the world of movies and I'm sure we all have a top five, real or fictional, that we'd love to visit. These are mine:
Odyssey 2001 - Saturday Night Fever
Studio 54 - (loosely based on ) The Last Days of Disco
On ITV2 tonight at 8pm
