Christina, 13, of California, one of our "Hollywood Preview Crew", got to go to a screening of a fun new film! Here are Christina's thoughts on COYOTE UGLY

In the new film COYOTE UGLY, a small-time girl (Piper Perabo) has dreams of becoming a songwriter. She decides to leave her home, friends and father to move to New York where she can concentrate on her dream. Her best friend is very supportive of this important decision. Her father, on the other hand, is not quite as supportive. He doesn't want his little girl to move to New York, known as such a dangerous place, and be all alone. She finally convinces him that she will be alright and she goes off to the big city. While in New York, she lives in a small rundown apartment in a bad part of town. She practices her music every night on the rooftop of her building, makes a demo tape and goes around town trying to be discovered. But her music career doesn't exactly go according to plan. She gets turned down everywhere she goes.

While in the process of distributing her tapes, she meets a cute guy posing as a music manager. Even though he's not really who he is pretending to be, he ends up helping her deal with a lot of things (one of them being stagefright) and he becomes very important to this story. Meanwhile, she is looking for a job to bring her cash to live on and ends up at the door of the Coyote Club, a wild place where the bartenders (known as Coyotes) dance on the bar and get everybody in the place riled up. Does she end up as a Coyote or a famous songwriter? To find out go see the movie.

I think COYOTE UGLY was one of the best movies of the summer. It was funny, cute and exciting all at the same time. Any trailers you might have seen are very misleading. This movie was more than just girls dancing in a bar, it actually had an interesting story about following your dreams and finding love along the way. Worth seeing when it comes to your area! (Editor's note: The website really rocks too!).
