Summary: TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT
Review: Violent Sanford (the HOT Piper Perabo), is a songwriter destined to make it big in the Big Apple. Leaving behind her father (John Goodman), she sets out to NYC to try her hand at music and to follow in the footsteps of her deceased mother (also an aspiring singer/songwriter).Once in the city, Violet, will realize it is not so easy to break into the music business, no matter how talented you are. With no money, and the determination to make it, she takes a job at Coyote Ugly, a trendy New York bar, where the bar maids are wilder than the drunken patrons. "Coyote Ugly" is your typical "girl has dreams, girl finds boy, girl loses boy, girls must deal with family issues, girl must discover herself, girls gets boy back story" but it works here. This is a really entertaining movie, that will please men as well as women. See the movie, and then check out the real bar in Manhattan. Nick Gonnella

Summary: Moonlight Magic
Review: Wow. This video was incredible. I had seen the previews, and thought that it may be a good movie, but it exceeded my expectations. You all know what it is like when you anticipate viewing a video so much that when you see it it is a dissappointment, but not this one. The casting director did a marvelous job picking the actors. Piper is a fresh face that fits the part. I loved how she had this assertiveness to her, and that cute Aussie guy.... can we say stacked? The movie is not only realistic, but has some great bar dancing coreography. It was a great movie and is definately worth buying, or at least go to the video store and rent it.

Summary: The Coyote's Aren't Ugly, This Movie Is
Review: Okay, here's what's wrong with this one: Super-sexy super-model-barmaids that have the personality of paper cut-out dolls is not enough to keep this astonishingly UPSURD story interesting or fun. Sure the trailer made it look fun, and there's everything for everybody, right? You have the cute runaway country-bumpkin that wants to make it big in the big city, that appeals to all you farmer's daughters, right? Oh, and all those sexy models--like devistatingly beautiful Tyra Banks--too call to the males like syrens. And there's the romantic interest for us ladies. So why isn't this fun or interesting? Because nothing about this movie is believable. There's nothing fun about this movie or romantic. When Piper Perabo opens her mouth to sing, fulfilling her life-long dream, we're to think a star is born, instead, I found myself rolling my eyes and joining the other ladies in the theatre as they all turn to their date--who are too busy drooling over attractive Perabo--and give a look that says How Incredibly Cheesy! Unfortunately, my boyfriend bought this DVD--God help him, he's attracted to Piper Parabo-like girls (which is why he's dating me, I suppose) and is not disappointed by it's lackluster features--a little featurette here and there about the making of this dud, so forth. All I have to say about this one is Last call, boys, this bar should be closed for remodeling.

Summary: Standard formula makes for an ok movie
Review: Coyote Ugly brings absolutely nothing new to the table, but taking the movie at its own merit, it's not actually all that bad. The plotline in a nutshell, Violet moves to New York to make it as a songwriter, not knowing that it's not as easy as just going to a record company and giving them a demo tape(is anyone really that naïve), and ends up working at a bar called Coyote Ugly to make money until she can sell her songs. That's it, except for the standard romantic interest, and the fact that the women at Coyote Ugly don't only pour drinks, they dance on the bar, spray down the customers with booze and water, and are full of attitude. The problem for Violet is that the only way to get her songs heard is to sing them herself at open mic nights at clubs. Unfortunately for her, she's too afraid to sing her own songs in public. She's not too afraid to sing along with the jukebox at Coyote Ugly, or dance on top of the bar for a bunch of leering men, but I guess that's just a different story. How, I really couldn't see, but it is, or so we're told. Yeah, I'm still shaking my head over that one myself. For those of you who are interested in flesh, I have to disappoint you and let you know that this movie is PG-13 so you won't be seeing any nudity here. In fact, the only person who takes their top off dancing on the bar is Violet's love interest, who does a dance on the bar while she's auctioning him off to the highest bidder to try to make up the $250 she needs to give to Lil, the bars owner, for dousing down the fire marshall with water, causing them to get a fine. The $250 is what she needs to raise to pay the fine so she doesn't get fired. Who ever said a movie really had to make sense? Still though, the girls are all good looking, and they do have some good moves, and I felt fairly entertained, at least after the first twenty minutes which were kind of slow and boring. The plot isn't hard to follow, as you've probably seen it dozens of times before, from the inevitable misundertanding that leads to Violet's and Kevin's break up, down to the ending, where Violet still doesn't know whether or not she can sing her songs in front of other people until Kevin shows up to save the day. So no, you won't see anything new here, but the story isn't offensive on its own, and there are some funny moments, and some good looking women, so it's not a total bust either. Try it out for yourself, it's good for at least one viewing.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: I liked this movie, and also the girls in this were quite, cute. Piper Perabo was in "Rocky & Bullwinkle" she did a good job in both movies. The DVD is good, the Deleted Sences were good worth watching.

Summary: Not worth buying...a renter at best
Review: A plot and story that has been done before, better. Miserably bad acting: Tara Banks, Leanne Rymes. Only highlight: John Goodman. Better yet, rent something else.

Summary: Coyote Ugly Entertains All
Review: I can't believe the harsh reviews written about this movie. I love it.True, you don't have to use much brain to watch it, but it is a true hit in my mind. It doesn't claim to be up for an Oscar. It is a fun-loving, precious, low-key, weekend movie everyone should go see. It has something for everyone. It was so entertaining I saw it 3 more times and had to own it. The soundtrack is so good, mine is almost played out. Don't take anyone's word for it, go see it yourself. You will be glad you did.

Summary: Relax and have a little fun!
Review: O.K, It's not "Saving Private Ryan" but was anyone really expecting it to be? The great thing about movies is that sometimes it's fun just to sit back, put your mind in neutral and just enjoy. Coyoye Ugly Fits that bill perfectly. The movie moves at a pretty snappy pace, the music is great and the scenery is nice to look at. The movie trailers I'd seen for Coyote Ugly left me with a "less than enthusiastic" impression of this movie. Because of my endless search for great movies that slide under the radar, I gave it a whirl anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. If your looking for a movie that's light and a lot of fun, pick this one up, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Coyote BEAUTIFUL!
Review: Coyote Ugly is the best movie I've ever seen. I'm 15 years old and so far it is my favorite movie ever! I loved it! I can really relate to it! Adam Garcia is SO HOT! I think Piper Perabo is a really good actress. I love the storyline. It's about a dream that many teenagers today have! It's awesome!

Summary: I want my money back
Review: This movie is Flashdance with no flash, a Saturday Night fever on a Wednesday afternoon happy hour. The main character is cute, but annoying. The bar atmosphere with all the dancing is stupid, and the plot is written for some afternoon school special. Save your money and treat yourself to a Big Mac meal. It will go down easier than the characters in this movie.
