Rating: Summary: Pretty Good Review: This was pretty good. I only watched it because someone else recommended it. When I saw the trailers when it first came out, I thought it would be sleazy -- kinda like a cross between "Cocktail" and "Showgirls". Turns out, it is not like that. Yes, it does take place in a bar where girls dance, but you do not see any flesh (at least not more than you see on the nightly news, but nothing bared). It is a good story about a girl fighting for her dreams against the odds, the ups and downs and it ends formulaicly happy, but that is what most of us want anyhow. A good date movie, a good family movie (teens), kinda mellow, good music.
Rating: Summary: Howlingly Horrible Review: This was one of the most embarassingly bad films I've seen in recent memory. I watched this because there is a 14 year old in the house who is understandably amused by girls in their early twenties dancing on top of a bar....and is willing to watch a non-plot for a half-hour between those scenes. Short of a pubescent male, I have to think that anyone who enjoyed this movie is either miguided (hopefully) or an idiot. If this is really what a person looks for in a film, let me recommend saving your money and watching nearly any television sit-com....they're just as bad and it won't cost you four bucks a pop. Take that extra four bucks and donate it to the library. That way, people who are dragging the human race intellectually down to such a depth can at least offset the damage they do by hopefully lifting someone else up.
Rating: Summary: Fun Guilty Pleasure Review: Nothing brain taxing- just light humor to float your way through a boring night in. Great music- pretty girls, cute guys- not much of a conflict but the lead does grow and get the guy and the career so all is well:)
Rating: Summary: A Great Movie to Watch Over and Over Review: This movie is about a shy girl, Violet, who moves away from home in New Jersey and goes to live in New York. She makes the move to help further her music writing career. In the process she takes a job at a bar, Coyote Ugly, and sheds her shyness as she sings and dances at the bar. She meets a boy, Kevin, who helps her to get over her fear of singing in front of others. The music by Lee Ann Rhimes adds great taste to the movie. I think it is a great movie because of the characters and excellent plot. It is definately a movie to watch over and over.
Rating: Summary: They should call it Coyote Awful Review: This movie has no redeeming qualities...
Rating: Summary: Definitely not as its portrayed Review: It's an extremely slow film, and not much of it is featured in the bar, as you'd expect after watching the trailer. I went into this blind, expecting a great feel good movie. And what did I get? A girl (Piper Perabo) who obviously can't sing "Can't Fight The Moonlight" (Leann Rimes does it better, and only has a small cameo towards the end), and is the spitting image of ex All Saints singer, Melanie Blatt. This film is very disappointing. Don't watch it with your hopes high. It's predictable, and you were laying out the plot before it was happening. Of course she's going to lose the job because of stupid Adam Garcia; of course something's going to happen to her Dad AFTER they have fallen out and she decides to come back and live in her hometown; there will be a big situation in the bar, which she defuses (by singing?!); and of course, she & Adam Garcia will live happily ever after. I think if the film had been based more in the bar, then it would have been slightly better, but then it ran the chance of being boring, and too repetitive. But then the only scenes I enjoyed in this film were the madcap 'Coyotes' dancing on the bar. This movie had great potential. Shame they didn't attempt anything never already done about the movie.
Rating: Summary: These chicks think they're so cool and tough Review: Yeah, let one of 'em spend a day with Ted Bundy... let's see how damn tough they act after such an experience. Stupid women.
Rating: Summary: Coyote Ugly Review: A decent but disappointing flick. It disappoints because it is definitely not as advertised. From the commercials, you'd think you're going to see a movie about a bar with outrageous female bartenders. The movie is actually about Violet who moves from Jersey to New York to become a song writer. After a burglary, she's broke and gets a job at the bar Coyote Ugly. You get occasional glimpses at the girls dancing on the bar and flinging water, drinks, and ice on their customers. Other than Violet, the other women at the bar aren't featured. You learn nothing about them. And if you're a Tyra Banks fan, don't bother watching this movie. She's on screen about ten minutes. That's a generous estimate. Mostly the movie is about Violet's attempts to get her music heard. It's sweet but not unique. The DVD has deleted scenes. Probably only one of them should have been saved. I would have given it four stars if I hadn't been so disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Another tax-loss movie? Review: You know you're watching a bad movie when your partner leans over to you and, without ever having seen the movie before, outlines the plot in detail, including accurate descriptions of most of the scenes to follow minutes after the opening credits have run. What on earth was Bruckheimer thinkning when he made this? I can only assume he had a contract with the studio to produce a certain number of movies and this was one of his 'fillers'. An unlikely plot to say the least, the acting was substandard and John Goodman, usually a decent actor, looked embarassed to be associated with this, seemingly hanging about in scenes waiting for his check to clear before he could leave. I've no doubt this movie earns at least 4 stars from many people who use this site; the teenage girl and mid 20's male I'm sure think this is an 'awesome' movie. Utter dross; Hollywood really needs a fresh injection of writing talent.
