Rating: Summary: Different Than What I Expected... Review: When I began to see commercials for this film, I couldn't help but question the integrity of its creators. My immediate thoughts were that it was just about a few women dancing on top of a bar in front of guys, which is both insulting to my intelligence and overall just a waste of my time. I laughed at the thought of seeing it until one day when I noticed it was on Digital Cable. I figured I would amuse myself by taking a peak at acting at it's worst...I was wrong. I found myself to actually be enjoying it. I immediately watched it the next time it was on so that I could catch the movie in its entirety and I really enjoyed all aspects of the movie, so when I purchased a DVD Player recently, I knew that this was a "must buy" for me. The DVD is awesome and I recommend it to everyone who is looking to sit back and enjoy a fun and loveable movie.I would without a doubt give the movie 5 Stars
Rating: Summary: Solid teen movie with spice Review: Watching any teen movie these days is kind of like having to sit through a gruesome torture. This meaning that the one's that are any good really do make you sit up and pay attention. That doesn't mean to say that this film isn't full of the usual clichés - cute virginal girl lost in the big city finds her own sexuality and individuality among others. Still, it's fun. For one, it's quite blatant without being in the least bit taboo. Our heroine finds work in a bar, finding that travelling to New York to sell songs isn't all it's cracked up to be. Initial clumsiness turns to refined solidarity with the other girls that work there and she finds a nice boy who understands her plight. With the cringe-making story you may think that there's nothing good here. You'd be wrong. There are some great performances from John Goodman and Melanie Lynskey (of 'Heavenly Creatures' fame - give her more roles!) and great characters like the sassy owner of the bar. There's some nice throwaway comedy lines and the songs that the girl writes are good but believably unrefined - most are sung solo by her on her keyboard. The nice thing about it is that it's sweet without ever ramming it down your throat and you can sit back and relax knowing that everything's going to work out right in the end. Plus there's the piece de resistance where LeAnn Rimes struts her stuff across the bar singing the fantastic 'Can't Fight The Moonlight'.
Rating: Summary: Good message... Review: This was a good film with a good message about following your dreams no matter what the cost. It was kinda like "Flashdance" mixed with a little bit of "Cocktail". I really enjoyed it. All of those beautiful girls gave beautiful performances. John Goodman is hilarious in his role as an over-protective father. All in all, this was a great movie. It had a few flaws, but nothing too extreme. Recommended! *For those parents who may be concerned about this films content, the bar scenes get a little risque. I thought it pushed the PG-13 rating a bit, so you may want to do the whole parental guidence thing if you are thinking about showing your youngsters this one.
Rating: Summary: Surprisingly pretty good Review: Jersey (Piper Perabo) has a dream of being a successful songwriter. She wants big-name artists to one day, sing the songs that she writes, but she finds out from the start that the music business is not easy, to say the least. She begins working in a bar, which is a little out of her normal personality range, and she even thinks about giving up on her dreams once or twice, but with the support of her boyfriend and her dad, maybe she'll still have a shot. Before watching "Coyote Ugly," I didn't really know what to expect. I had heard a few people say that it wasn't that good, so I guess I sort of expected not to like it much, but I went ahead and watched it anyway. Contrary to what I had heard, it turned out to be pretty good, in my opinion. Granted, the story seems overly formulaic, and it might be, but the movie itself is very entertaining. I didn't get bored any and I wanted to see how it turned out, so it couldn't have been that bad of a movie. Everybody in the film does a decent enough job of acting, and "Coyote Ugly" also has a good soundtrack. You'll get to hear a lot of good music throughout the film, so that's definitely a plus that it has going for it. If you like entertaining movies about struggle and/or triumph and if you like movies with good soundtracks, then I recommend at least watching "Coyote Ugly," if not buying it.
Rating: Summary: Coyote Ugly ROCKS!!!! Review: I thought that Coyote Ugly was an awesome movie. Piper Perabo has great talent and should be given or sought out for more roles. This movie is a definite must see, as well as, a must have. The music for the movie was right on, although I would have loved to hear Piper's voice on more of the songs. She is definite STAR material... :-)
Rating: Summary: GREAT DANCING Review: The story line for this movie was different - something new - which I believe we all need in this day! The dancing & music was great - I have the sound track and I have the movie in DVD and watch it alot. It's just great and Piper is wonderful. I'd love to see a sequel...........
Rating: Summary: The bar was cool Review: The best part of the movie was the bar. The music and the dancers made the movie a lot of fun. I just could not take my eyes off of Cammie (Izabella Miko) -- probably physically the least attractive of the dancers but has a great smile, tons of energy and confidence, and is a very seductive dancer. I was less enamored with the lead character, Violet (Piper Perabo), a small town girl with big dreams but is afraid to take chances (stage fright??). I personally found it difficult to root for her character but she is very pretty and innocent and fits into the role very well. I dug the look on her face after her suitor "Mr. O'Donnell" (Adam Garcia) deadpans, "It's 3 in the morning ... I want what every other man wants now." Speaking of Garcia, I thought he did a great job, at least until they neutered his character about 2/3s in. "I'll fire you Walt!" Overall, when the focus isn't on the bar though, the movie really struggles. It isn't so much the cliches involved, it's just the writing. It would have been nice to see Violet gradually gather the confidence needed to succeed from her time at Coyote Ugly and with her friends, to see her gradually develop into a city girl, and naturally reconcile with her father rather than have it all occur spontaneously when the plot demands. To be honest the plot gave me a headache. But overall, it's a fun movie if you don't expect much, worth a rental at least.
Rating: Summary: Ugly is about right Review: This is one of the worst movies I have EVER seen (and I have seen thousands). This movie was originally designed to be marketed towards teenage girls, as a triumphant story of a girl making it in life on her own. After being tested to that market they found that the movie, with a horrible plot, bad acting, and miserable premise could only be lucrative if it was marketed to males age 16-35, nice save Bruckheimer, why don't you stick to making movies like Con Air and The Rock. This movie fails at everything except introducing me to a cute actress, not the lead, but, Izabella Miko who plays Cammie, the cute & sweet bartender who looks fabulous. Other problems include John Goodman's acting talent being wasted on a miserable character-in a miserable movie(look at him in The Big Labowski). The only difference between Showgirls and Coyote Ugly is that Showgirls doesn't lie about what it is and hide under a PG-13 rating by removing the nudity and vulgarness that would be present at a bar of this type (I mean who are we kidding-has anyone ever been to a bar that has the moral standards of Sesame Street?).
Rating: Summary: Fun, Wild, Sexy Review: Coyote Ugly is a fun look at a girl trying to make it to the top. While looking for a part-time job she encounters the 'Coyotes' that run a bar called 'Coyote Ugly'. And the fun begins. This film makes me wish that there is a place called Coyote Ugly. All the Actresses acted beautifuly and sensual to everything they do in the film! The Soundtrack of the film is also very interesting with a mix of pop, rock and country. This is one of the many movies that I would definetly want to get on DVD!!!
Rating: Summary: Cute movie. Review: Coyote Ugly is about a girl from jersey who want sto be a song writer, so she moves to the big city to try and make her dreams come true. Of course things happen and she has to get a job and ends up working at the bar "Coyote Ugly". Where she meets friends, a guy, and well maybe a nice happy ending.
