Summary: Coyote Ugly wasn't so Ugly
Review: I really liked this movie because it was energetic and the girls were very good looking. "Jersey"[played by Piper Perabo] was a little girl about 40 miles from the big city, New York. She moved there too hit off her music career, but the only thing wrong was that she was afraid of singing in front of a crowd. In the mean time she needed a job and the bar Coyote Ugly was a big hit and the girls who worked there made a whole lot of money every night. So she went to get a job and she did. Then this is when the fun started happening. Many hilarious things happen and if you won't to know them then go see the movie. Also she does something that she had never been able to do before, sing. Go see this movie, I gave it 5 stars because it was wild and beautiful at the same time.

Summary: Coycote Ugly
Review: This is one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time. You can really get in to the movie, and you want to get up and dance with them. The music was great, I loved it so much I ordered the soundtrack. It's a movie that as soon as you walk out of the theater you want to go back, and see it again. I want to own very few movies, but this is one that I can't wait to buy. Do yourself a favor, and go see this movie, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Coyote awfull.....really awfull
Review: Less then ten minutes into this wheezer I was already compiling my 10 worst films of 2000. It's too early for that. It really is. But what a year it has been. Coyote Ugly is an example of a film that is not just bad...it's not even the fun kind of bad. It lacks the humor of "The Skulls" and has the unenviable distinction of making "showgirls" look good. Really it does. First off we have an incredibly silly plot that looks as though it were lifted from an episode of Fame, no, even Fame would not have been this bad. Our heroine is a struggling song writer who goes off to New York to write songs.. So far so good. Trouble is, our lead actress has yet to write or record anything at home so she does so in the big apple...in her apartment, too bad about the awful noise next door that she hears through the paper thin walls, what does she do? Why of course she does the logical thing...SHE GOES UP ON THE ROOF AND RECORDS! Of course the sounds of New York obligingly quite down so she can study. Gee...it's quite on the roof in NYC in the middle of the night...whodathunkit? The film goes straight downhill from there, I will spare you the details and simply list the ludicrocities by number:1. Her apartment is burglarized and everything of value is stolen, two scenes later she is carrying an expensive guitar belonging to her dead mother, the thieves found the money in the freezer but not a guitar. 2. She helps the dashing Australian out unloading frozen fish for several hours...her hair and clothes are perfect afterwards. 3. She is told at the very beginning of the film, in no uncertain terms, that no one...no one will listen to her unsolicited tape as that is ILLEGAL AND WOULD OPEN THE PUBLISHERS TO LAWSUITS! Any one who had even considered a career in songwriting would know this. She continues to shlep the tapes around oblivious to this incredibly obvious fact. 4. A foot note to the above, she actually mails out a bunch of tapes she made to the same publishers, does this girl have a hearing problem? 5. Her father, played by a very sorry John Goodman, sees her in the bar at work and is ashamed, even though she is fully clothed and not wearing anything that is not seen at any beach in America. Oh yeah, then there is the agonizing bar scenes...oh the humanity! 6. The barmaids set the bar on fire and are not burned, neither are any of the customers. 7. Anyone asking for water is sprayed with water, in fact all the "coyotes" spray liquor and water all over the customers for no apparent reason. 8. More liquor is poured on the bar then in the glasses, no on sees or cares. And on and on and on and on...this film is like running a nail down a very, very long chalkboard. Then there is the dialogue.... Worst lines in the film are as follows Sexy Russian barmaid: " I am not a lesbian....I played in the minors but never made the big league" The rest of the script is not much better. When our heroine gets her big break (she records on a CD and not on tape, I guess the copyright laws do not go digital) she is asked by the love interest "What do you do when all of your dreams come true?" "I pay back old debts" aaaaaarrrrrrhghhhhhh. There is not one minute of character development, not one. We are treated to mind numbing examples of "on the nose" dialogue, that is when characters say things just to explain things to the audience. "Thanks for letting me sublease this apartment" The beautiful women says to the love interest, wouldn't he already know he had subleased this? I can forgive much in a film, if it is entertaining, even unintentionally funny. There is not one possible thing in this film that I believe...not one. Every character from the overweight father who's daughter is trying to be a wife too...."dad, your eating lean cuisine, don't do the laundry I will do it when I visit on the weekends" Later dad is at a wedding minus his socks...I guess he was mad at has daughter and can't find his socks by himself. The stupid contrived love story, complete with scenes of the Brooklyn bridge at sunrise from a convertible and a scene where she can't get to the phone in time and sees her beloved taking another women into his apartment (of course she is subleasing...as she says later to the audience). If they had sat down and tried to make a stupider film with more predictable and silly things happening they could not have done it. Naomi Campbell is the lucky one, she is leaving at the beginning and gets to miss most of this mess, of course she makes an appearance mid-film and is doused with water. There is much water dousing and no reason for it. The actresses are all bone dry in the next scene. I don't know how long this film was but it was too long after the first ten minutes. A soft core nudity free mag called Maxim has pictures of all the girls in it. You can be sure this is the only kind of magazine you would see this film mentioned in. Save your ticket money and buy the mag. Oh yeah, Leanne Rhymes shows up on "country night" for no apparent reason and John Goodman dances the funky chicken on the bar while screaming women bid on who gets to take him home. Need I say more?

Summary: FAB MOVIE
Review: What can I say about this movie? I've seen it 6 times in less than 2 weeks! It's absolutely fabulous! Piper Perabo is great new talent and I look forward to seeing her in many more films in the future. There were also great performances by John Goodman and Melanie Lynskey. But, in my opinion, it was the ever wonderful Maria Bello who stole the show. Her infectious personality and acting ability literally floor you with their ferocity. She is definitely not only one of the most beautiful actresses out there, but the most talented as well! Don't miss this movie! It may be a little corny, I mean, it's no Cider House Rules, but it's my favourite movie as of now and I'm utterly obsessed! Best of the summer for sure!

Summary: So Much More Than The Preview
Review: A talented young woman from New Jersey, filled with hope and desire, moves to New York to chase her dreams of becoming a songwriter in "Coyote Ugly," directed by David McNally and starring Piper Perabo. Against the wishes of her father, Bill (John Goodman), but with his acquiescent approval, Violet (Perabo) begins her quest and soon learns what every aspiring newcomer to show business discovers: It's tough out there. Soon, in order to pay the rent and keep the dream alive, on a tip she seeks employment in a bar called Coyote Ugly; the owner, Lil (Maria Bello) lets her "audition (work one night)" to see if she can handle their kind of action. It's a tough gig, but Violet knows she's going to have to make certain sacrifices if she's to succeed. And that is really what this movie is all about: Personal character, having the tenacity to maintain ideals and dignity, and deciding what and how much one must be willing to sacrifice to achieve one's goals; and most importantly, having enough heart to see it all through. Perabo gives a winning performance as Violet; she's fresh, somewhat naive (but not entirely), and the way she presents her character makes it easy to connect with her right away. She becomes someone you care about quickly, and there are moments early on, especially when she first arrives in New York, that allow you to emphasize with her immediately. There's a fragility about her, but at the same time she exhibits a strength of character and sense of morality that is becoming; and being able to convey this level of complexity convincingly is a tribute to her ability as an actress. John Goodman also does a good job as her father, a caring bear of a man who obviously has nothing but the best intentions for his daughter at heart. His performance, and the way the situation of his having to let Violet go is handled makes it believable, and helps create an emotional bond between them and the audience. It's something with which many will be able to identify, and it becomes one of the underlying strengths of the film. One of the weaknesses of this project comes, not from the movie itself, but from the "promotion" of the movie; in this case the theatrical trailer, which is a gross misrepresentation of what "Coyote Ugly" really is. Certainly the "coyotes" and the bar are a significant part of the film, and it's all exceptionally well and tastefully done, and is a fun part of the movie and definitely gives it some life; but I think the presentation in the trailer will do more to alienate a cross-section of audience that ultimately would appreciate this movie, but initially at least will not even see it, and only because of a misconception caused by the preview. It must be noted that this is a PG-13; there is nary a profane word, and no sex or nudity in it. It is an upbeat, entertaining film that should be readily embraced by a much wider audience than one would expect simply from seeing the trailer. The excellent supporting cast includes Adam Garcia (Kevin), Izabella Miko (Cammie), Melanie Lynskey (Gloria), Bridget Moynahan (Rachel), Tyra Banks (Zoe) and LeAnn Rimes (In a cameo as herself). Hopefully, if only by word-of-mouth, this movie will gain the audience it deserves. Reminiscent of "Flashdance," there is a universal theme here of having a dream and going for it. In the final analysis, "Coyote Ugly" is a decent film that will appeal to anyone who's ever had or pursued a dream. Do yourself a favor, put any preconceived notions aside and check this one out; I think you'll be glad you did.

Summary: Coyote Prevail!
Review: In the tradition of such movies as "Flashdance" and "Footloose", "Coyote Ugly" is surprisingly enlightening. At a glance "Coyote" is simply a down and dirty bar in New York where bartenders are scantly clad and perform as showgirls dancing on tabletops for a muster of drunken lovesick idiots. At least, that is what the trailer would have us believe. With an opening night slogan tainted as "The hottest night of the year!", I would expect nothing less. But unexpectedly I enjoyed the story overall. Newcomer Piper Perabo dazzles us with her sweet charm, good looks and convincing performance. She plays Violet, an aspiring songwriter, who moves from New Jersey to New York to pursue a dream in the music business. Not as a performer, but simply to write songs for other performers to sing. When times are hard, she lands a job as bartender at the hottest club in the fish-packing district. Only in the first half of the film must we endure the essential strippers with their clothes on scenario, and try to accept that Violet can tame the savage beast of a bar that is in total disarray, by simply grabbing a microphone, singing to a song, and have us believe that a star is being born. But as the story moves on, we do enjoy some rather good written music, as well as an endearing story taking place between a daughter and her father. (Played wonderfully by John Goodman) She also has a compassionate relationship with an Aussie played by another newcomer Adam Garcia. Adam is well suited for the roll, and though I felt like I was being a little rushed through there up and down relationship, I think he pulled it off quite nicely. Overall, I left the theatre feeling rather refreshed. Considering all the lame scripts we've had to stomach over the last few years, along with all the special effect mega crap flicks that Hollywood has been spoon-feeding us as of late, this movie has the ability to satisfy a wide audience. From drooling jocks, to trashy girl cosmetic feminists, to dear old dad. And even though we don't get to see nearly enough of my baby Tyra Banks, with a wonderful soundtrack, and a cast with good chemistry, "Coyote Ugly" delivers.
