Summary: very touching story
Review: This movie is a pretty touching story that focuses on one persons struggle to reach her dream. A small town girl wants to be a songwritter so she sets her sights on the big city of NY to try and make it big. problem is in NY its who you know and she knows no one. After her low rent apartment is robbed she stays determined and gets the only job she thinks she can get which is the hot bar called Coyote Ugly. The bar is the complete opposite of her as instead of her being shy, she has to act spontanious and wild. won't get all in the details but pretty much leads to her finding the perfect guy, accepted by her father to live her dreams, and well, find her dreams. A movie to definately check out since it has the tenderness for the women and the girls dancing naughty for the guys.

Summary: one of the poorest films I have ever seen....
Review: I wanted to see this film because I heard it was a fun and fluffy "pro-feminist" story. It was supposed to be engaging and sexy. Instead, I thought it was demeaning, unengaging and poorly acted. I know some might think I read into it a little too much because it is supposed to be one of those "fluff" films aimed at young teenage boys and women who need a little boost for their self esteem as sexy, independent beings.

Violet (Piper Perabo) is a shy and ambitious songwriter, who leaves the shelter of the home she shares with her father in New Jersey to the edgy environment of New York City. She doesn't know a soul and happens to wander into a bar filled with "coyotes" (women who dance on the bar table provocatively and also bartend for the many--predominantly male--customers). This obviously male fantasy of a young, sheltered artist breaking out of her shell and becoming more in touch with her sensuality was just silly. At the end, I found myself caring less and less what the resolution was and asked myself why I even wasted the $2.50 at the video rental to begin with!!!!

Summary: ?
Review: Good movie but there is to much crying and suffering.(altough I did love the Bar parts:).

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: too much gyrating and not enought interest for me
Review: Now, this is my mind on this movie. Too much focusing on women dancing on bars and not on story and characters, hence this is a boring movie, but the women are good, but this movie is boring. Now see you wouldnt get me on a table and dance and take it off, nope, not my thing. John Goodman as Piper Perabo's father is a treat though. This is Tyra Bank's first big movie breakout and see does it nice. As far as i'm concerned the thought of Coyote Ugly 2 would be more of the same, except that Piper Perabo, not Maria Bello trains the new recruit and it would be more of the same but new moves, but more of the same. Also starring Adam Garcia.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This Movie is Not Only Ugly, but also BAD (As in Awful)
Review: This movie is lurching in the gutter. The acting is sub-par, the story is tired and has been done before. The entire thing is a waste of your time and money. There isn't too much to redeem this movie. A bunch of people hanging out at a bar, yipping and yelling like a bunch of baffoons. "Lets get wild" kind of attitude. Not much of a premise for a movie. Pretty slim on story content and acting ability of the actors. After you have seen the movie, you feel like you have seen nothing. I found many of the scenes too dark and much of the movie is in a bar. Pretty depressing stuff. 1 Star folks. Watching your neighbors vacation films might be more inspiring.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: An Barely OK Rendering On A Tired Motif
Review: When Coyote Ugly was released four years ago, most reviewers said the movie was "more than chicks dancing on a bar". After seeing it, I agree. This movie is so predictible. Get a young, motivated, talented [but slightly immature] young girl out of Small Town, USA to Big City, USA to pursue her dream. Have her then hone her craft for various companies and getting rejected time and time again. Have her end up in a lonely diner with only a few dollars to her name. To remendy her cash problem, she gets a job at a sleazy bar. Over time, the bar overtakes her life, and she loses her boyfriend and dad in the process. In a realignment of priorties, she walks out of the bar, and refocuses on her dream. In the end she makes it.

That my friends, is the plot of this movie. For most people (myself included) this movie is a totally futile effort, topped by a totally annoying performance by Piper Perabo. The only people who might like this film are teens and twenty-somethings and those needing a little something to watch in the middle of the night (again, like myself).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Coyote Ugly - An interesting movie for teens!
Review: "Coyote Ugly" is an interesting movie that falls more into the lines of a teenager type love story than what I had originally thought it would be. Billed as an "intoxicating sexy comedy" from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, this movie more or less falls short of that billing in that it relies more heavily on the "girl with a long shot makes it big" theme that has been highly prevalent in previous movies, leaving one with the overwhelming impression of been there, seen that.

Performance wise; stars such as Piper Parabo, John Goodman and Maria Bello all do a great job with the script they had. I'm more or less surprised that Maria Bello hasn't become a bigger star as she definitely has it in her and she's an incredibly beautiful woman.

This is the only movie from director David McNally II that I've seen so far and it would be hard to make a definitive judgment on his movie making talents based on this one movie that I didn't find particularly wonderful. Hopefully down the road he'll find a better script to work with.

The Premise:

As stated above, this is a teenager type movie about Violet (Piper Parabo) who moves from rural New York to the Big Apple to make it big as a song writer. Along the way she encounters the standard fare of difficulties of trying to get into that business and finds that she must take on a job at a bar known as the "Coyote Ugly" to try to make ends meet until she can get that "one big break."

Overall, I'd say this is an interesting rental more than anything else. {ssintrepid}
