I really love this movie! Xtina did a great job as an actress and her on stage shows/song were amazing!

But only regarding the story....it was so copied from coyote ugly.
A young girl coming to a new city without having a job and being desperate.
And then ending in a place were she seemes to be shy compared to the other hot girls but then suddenly comes out of her shell.

Hell, even the stealing scene was copied 1:1!!!
Both girls have money hidden in their one apartment flat and it gets stolen!
You could have changed it a bit more!

Well, I don`t want to sound condescending, but "Coyote Ugly" was far from the first movie to have such a premise. Of having a young small town girl coming to a big city. There have been various movies who`ve had a similar premise. It`s a well known story trope.

Including one of my favourites, 42 Street (1933).
