Rating: Summary: Blondie meets Rimes in a bar with attitude Review: This is not a great movie in the aspects of technique or storytelling. It is movie that does one thing great, entertain. The sole purpose of a movie is to entertain the viewer. "Footloose" and "Dirty Dancing" were not great movies but they will never be forgotten because they entertained the viewer. "Coyote Ugly" is a feel-good about yourself movie. The music energizes the audience. The bar dancing keeps the movie-watchers interested. I went the movie with two friends who were both girls. I am 18 and they are 17. We all really liked the movie. The rest of the night we were dancing around and singing the music that we heard. This is great movie because it leaves a lasting impression on the viewer.
Rating: Summary: good times with less brain fry Review: i was just reading some of the outlandish reviews about this movie and am absolutely shocked. if you wanted oscar-caliber go see a foreign and impossible to find in a local theater flick. i am an avid movie watcher and am heavily involved in cinema/film making. so i knew going into this movie that it was not going to be difficult to watch. i went into it thinking it would be a cute romantic comedy with sexy chicks dancing on a bar and virtually no plot. and it was. but that is why i wanted to see it. it was a very light-hearted, FUN, fanciful movie. some of these reviewers are treating it as if it should have been nc-17 b/c it involved a bar in new york and sexy women that dance in it. i commend the movie for being able to be sexy with out having to be rated R!! bravo. or they had this misconception that it would be a brain teasing flick with major story boards and 5 oscar noms. sorry to disappoint you people, but i can't believe you would waste 1,000 words just to gripe about it. look, for the newcomers, the movie is FUN not to mention easy on the eyes and the brains. so for a good time, rent or buy this movie, if your expectations aren't too high, it won't disappoint you.
Rating: Summary: Much more than just a teen flick. Review: I went into this film with not one clue as to what it was about. I had heard Jessica Simpson was up for a role at one stage and assumed it was to be your typical teen-flick for young, annoying girls - I was dead-wrong. As a huge movie fan, and one who enjoys strong stories like Seven and American History X, I can assure you that it takes a lot to impress me. I'm not saying this is an original story, or that it packs a punch like those two films, but it certainly is an enjoyable film with strong characters that you really come to like very quickly. Maria Bello is fantastic as the straight-talking owner of Coyote Ugly, and Adam Garcia plays a sweet and noble comic collector to perfection. Don't trust the reviews that say this is crap - the story is solid, the cast is flawless and the music will have you out to buy the soundtrack in no time.
Rating: Summary: Hot bodies are not enough Review: SPOILER WARNING I really expected to have a good time with this movie, but I couldn't find anything positive in it. The bar is not even important for the main character in her search for love and success. She met her boyfriend before she even went to the bar, and she got strength to perform from her dad, not from those karaoke nights at the Coyote Ugly. We don't see her in a close friendship with the rest of the coyotes. The bar doesn't fulfill any function here. It's useless as a comedy, as a drama, it's not enough when it comes to sex and those amazing girls. You might think that having those bodies and those faces, it would help the weak storyline. But if you're only looking for sexy women... well, these are HOT, but they never get naked, they really don't show much. If that was the high poing of the movie, it didn't work out. But I want to make myself clear: I don't think a movie is good just because there's explicit sex or nudity. But this movie is so bad that sex could have made it a little more bearable. If you want a romantic comedy, get Notting Hill. If you want a girly drama, get something else. If you want sexy women, get porn instead.
Rating: Summary: Pretty Girls with a thin plot Review: The movie stars Piper Perabo who is a very likeable actress. The only problem is that she is stuck with boring dialog and a weak plot. If you are going to make a movie about a crazy bar and the lifestyle of a young bartender in New York City why would you make it PG-13. How wild and crazy can you get. Its kind of ironic that the cover of this movie reminds me of a Spice Girls poster. Stay away from this one if you have any interest in a plot and charachters.
Rating: Summary: This movie is a must see! Review: I dont really want to tell too much about the movie. Lets just say that its for all type of audiences. Guys love it cuz of the girls (who dont get naked but totally flaunt what they have), and women love it cuz it has a great storyline. Its awesome, cuz the women in it, are portrayed as sex objects, except their personalities shine. In conclusion I totally loved this movie, the soundtrack was great also!
Rating: Summary: COYOTY UGLY Review: PIPER PERABO WAS AN EXCELLENT ACTRESSSO WAS LEANN RIMES AND THE OTHER LADIES AT THE BAR.
Rating: Summary: A modern Cinderella story... with rhythm! Review: Let's begin with what this movie is NOT: It isn't Academy material nor is it a cure for cancer. It IS a fun, romantic (and yes, sometimes cliched) fairy tale about attractive young people pursuing dreams. The performances are credible and the music propels the story along at a pace that keeps you from concentrating too much on the paper-thin plot line. For those gray days when you need entertainment that lifts the spirit even if it doesn't tax the mind, this movie fills the bill. Remember "Dirty Dancing", "Footloose" and "Flashdance"? If you like these movies (and I do), sit back, dispend disbelief and just enjoy the exuberant show!
Rating: Summary: Coyote Alert! Review: I thought this film was great, especially as there is a real bar in NY like the one in the film. Coyote Ugly is an excellent film for pretty much everyone to see, and the CD is also good. If you dislike this film, then why are you looking at buying it anyway???
Rating: Summary: excruciating... Review: I had to add my two cents because reading the good reviews about this movie blew my mind. They had to have all been written by 13 year old teeny boppers. I only sat through this movie because the people I went to the theater with needed a ride home. I was really looking forward to this movie too. The commercials made it look like it was going to be hot chicks doing wild and crazy stuff at the bar through the whole thing but I'd have to say that only about 15 minutes of this movie took place at the bar. Piper Perabo annoyed the crap out of me. She was always making these puppy dog faces like she is saying, "Look how cute and adorable I am." The story was trite and cliche'... I actually felt insulted that the director thought I might be stupid enough to buy into this ridiculous crap. If you aren't a 13 year old girl don't go see this.
