Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLeAnn Rimes did all of the singing for Piper Perabo. When the two are singing on the bar, Rimes is essentially performing a duet with herself.
- GoofsPiedmont is in South Dakota not North Dakota.
- Quotes
Lil: I'm married to that bar. Hell, I'd, uh, I'd sleep there, if I had the guts to walk around barefoot. But that's me, you know. I'm the original coyote. Just a small town gal trying to make it in the big bad city.
Violet: Small town gal?
Lil: Piedmont, North Dakota. You ever tell anyone that, I'll kill ya.
- Alternate versionsUnrated extended cut restores scenes (ca. 6 minutes) that were deemed "unsuitable" for the American market and threatened the desired PG-13 rating. Added back was additional/extended footage in virtually every dance scene, a shopping scene with Cammie and Violet and a sex scene with Violet and Kevin.

Featured review
This movie is as formulaic as baby formula....very predictable which to me is a sign of lazy writing, producing and directing.
Its also a 15 year old boys wet dream!
Where the movie works is generally a good soundtrack and any scene that has John Goodman in it.
Where it fails is any time they focus on her song writing.
Released in 2000 the film drips 90's clichés.
Still overall the movie has enough highpoints (and John Goodman) to be entertaining and earn itself a little more than a pass mark.
