Summary: Insubstantial but highly entertaining
Review: Producer Jerry Bruckheimer seems to have an innate sense of what makes money in cinema. He seldom makes a film that isn't profitable and has numerous blockbusters on his resume over the past 30 years (American Gigolo, Flashdance, Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, The Rock, Con Air, Armageddon). Bruckheimer is a populist producer. He is more concerned with giving audiences what they want than he is about producing films of any artistic value or substance. In that regard, "Coyote Ugly" fits right in.This film is energetic, entertaining, scintillating and fun to watch. The story is "Flashdance" lite, and is reminiscent of the popular but vacuous "Cocktail" with Tom Cruise, only with a decent plot woven in. Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) is a young aspiring songwriter who leaves South Amboy, New Jersey traveling to New York City to be discovered. When things don't go as planned, she takes a job as a bartender in a raucous singles bar where the sexy female bartenders dance provocatively on the bar to the shrieks of the rowdy patrons below. Of course, there is a love story to go along with the quest for fame, completing the populist formula. Bruckheimer defies the conventional Hollywood big budget approach by using an ensemble cast of veritable unknowns and a first time director. Other than John Goodman in a minor role, and supermodel Tyra Banks who hasn't done much acting, most of the actors have extremely short resumes. This gives the film a freshness and energy that comes from the cast's exhilaration at just being on the set. Piper Perabo is an incredible find. She is not simply acting in this film, but living the role. Just like her character Violet, this film is her big break so her ability to understand the character and the role is implicit (another stroke of Bruckheimer genius). Perabo is an excellent actor with tremendous ability and potential. It is likely that this film will be the launch pad for a bright career. Maria Bello also gives a fabulous performance as Lil, the tough and successful owner of the nightclub. Australian actor Adam Garcia has great chemistry with Perabo as Violet's love interest. His pleasant demeanor and good looks have many people comparing him with Mel Gibson, although it remains to be seen whether he can handle roles that are more substantial. John Goodman provides one of the film's best moments when he gets up on the bar and dances as Violet auctions him off to the screaming women in the crowd. The DVD is packed with interesting special features about the making of the film. It also includes a DTS audio option, which I like better than Dolby Digital 5.1. The soundtrack is pulsating and explosive and pumps the film up with excitement. This is not great filmmaking, but it is great entertainment. It is an amiable film that sparkles with energy and is easy to watch. I rated it a 7/10. Many people were surprised by how much they enjoyed it, but I'm never surprised when I like a Jerry Bruckheimer film. He knows how to push our buttons.

Summary: I hate romance movies
Review: Well, not all romance movies. Every once in a while, you have a romance movie with a decent plot and dialogue that's not SO cliche. When I saw this movie, I was expecting a cool guy movie. I wanted half-naked girls dancing on the top of a bar!!!! Who the hell needs a plot, that would've made money! No. Instead, they make the story of a struggling girl from New Jersey expecting to make it big in the music industry. She lands a job in the very sexy bar Coyote Ugly and, of course, meets the perfect guy! They advertise Tyra Banks being in the movie. She's in a total of 2 scenes my friend! 2! I don't know what Bruckheimer was thinking, just don't do it again. When people go to your movies, they expect COOLNESS which this was very much lacking in. Skip this one, folks.

Summary: Lived Up Expectations
Review: Coyote Ugly is a fantastic movie that not only incorporates that typical... guy finds girl, loses girl, gets girl back... chick flick storyline, but also a whole lot of fun and excitement. It was in my opinion, one of the cutest and funnest movies of 2000. Piper (Violet-leading actress) played the right role for the part. She has an innocent face that's hard not to fall in love with. As for the leading actor, he too shines in his part, with his down to earth personality that depicts the hard-working population of society. I highly recommend this movie, not only for the so called, "hot babes," (as many males would describe it) but for the countless breathtaking moments of desire for sweet love. If you're a romantic, you'll surely LOVE this movie, because I know I did. Leann Rimes really fit in great in the picture also. Her songs worked magic upon the atmosphere of the movie. I even have the soundtrack! Anyhow, I hope all of you watch this movie because I'm sure both guys and girls will enjoy it, and maybe you'll appreciate your significant other afterwards... or strive to reach your career.

Summary: EXTRA SHARP CHEESE!
Review: I'm all for a light entertaining movie but this thing was painful to watch. Mix Piper Perabo as the lead role, a bubble headed blond who couldn't act to save her life, add an old hashed to death storyline embedded with every cliche in the book and you have Coyote Ugly. This thing was horrible, just horrible. After the first five minutes I got sick of watching Perabo's only acting skill making those sad puppy dog faces. But guess what it goes on the rest of the movie, must be a record for that annoying facial expression. It's a good thing this is a rental so I can send it back tomorrow, if I was suckered into buying this disc I would have to drench it with gasoline and set it on fire.

Summary: Don't be fooled by the previews! This moive has a plot!
Review: WHen I first saw the Priviews for this movie I admit it I rolled my eyes a bit. It looked just like a bunch of women table dacing in a bar. And that didn't intrest me at all so I never saw it at the theaters. But when it came out on video all my friends where telling me what a great moive it was and I was shocked. It WAS good. It was a about a girl named Violet who traveled to the city to start a song writign carrer. But the problem is she was onyl getting snubbed. So in an attempt to make some quick cash she becomes a bar tender at a bar called cyote ugly. A place where women call all the shots and looking hot and being gwilling to do pretty much anything is a must. It takes her a while to get used to it but soon she learns that her voice is a powerful tool that could keep her this job, and maybe get her futher. If she could just get rid of her stage fright. THis movie was a great drama and romatic comedy (even though I didn't mention a guy in my summary). I reccomend it to anyone. Don't be fooled by the previews. There is a plot to this movie. ANd it's a good one.

Summary: The Best Movie I Have Ever Seen!!
Review: Violet is a small town girl who just wants somebody big to sing her songs. She moves to New York, finds a job as a bar tender but there's more to it then just serving drinks, there's bar dancing, singing, fighting, auctions of hot guys. There is no explicit sex, or cursing. This is the ONE movie for the whole family.... enjoy the show.
