Summary: Lil Looks Like Your New Girl Can't Hack It
Review: Movie Summary: Violet Sanford leaves her small New Jersey home as well as her father and moves to the Big Apple. She wants to be a song writer you see and New York is the place to be. She soon finds out that the music game is ever so much more difficult than she dreamed. In order to make ends meet, she wins a job as a performing waitress at the very hip club Coyote Ugly. There the nights are hot and the bar maids even hotter. Violet meets a nice guy who tries to help he overcome the stage fright that is preventing her from showcasing her songs on stage. As she falls into a grove at Coyote Ugly is starts to look like she will never make it as a song writer.

My Opinion: I loved the bar scenes. That's where the 4 stars come from. I like the scenes with the Coyotes in them. They were the most interesting and the most fun. The rest of the story was cute, but what I really wanted was more of the Coyote Ugly. That was what was fun. I didn't really need another "little girl makes it in the big city" story. I did enjoy Kevin O'Donnell and his character. It was nice to see a good guy getting the girl for a change. I'm sick of the jerks that are mean to the girls and the girls who want them more because of it. John Goodman was great as the father struggling to be on his own. Maria Bello has been one of my favorites for a long time and she doesn't let us down here. I only wish she could have been the main character and we could have also seen into the lives of each of the Coyotes. Even though I wished for more of the bar, I was thoroughly entertained and enjoyed every minute of the movie. I ate up the deleted scenes that rounded out the story and filled in the holes. I will definitely be looking for a good deal on a used copy of this DVD to add to my collection.

DVD Quality: Video: Widescreen Anamorphic 1.85:1 the best! Video quality is great! Sound: DD5.1 with great music Extras: There are plenty of extras. The deleted scenes show why we shouldn't have been surprised when Gloria got married. They also show people taunting Violet with predictions that she will fail. They help fill out the plot. Also included are the trailers, documentaries, and music video. Menus: The menus are ok. Nothing to write home about.

What You Should Do: Rent it unless you can get a good deal on a previously viewed copy. It's a guilty pleasure type movie, but the price for a new copy is too high.

Summary: Lots of Fun
Review: Is Coyote Ugly a movie masterpiece...no...of course not...but it is a film that will make you laugh and maybe even get you up on the table dancing. Well that last one is a long shot but you will have fun watching this film. Filled with a kick butt soundtrack and likeable performances from the relatively unknown cast. It's the classic Cinderella story that offers few surprises but it shouldn't matter. It's very well done and Piper Perabo is very impressive and has the makings of a star!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Welcome to Hogs and Hefiers
Review: This movie is somewhat based on a girl at the NYC country music small but packed bar Hogs and Hefiers in the Meat District of the West Village where sexy semi nude women dance on the bar and men pack the place to get a look. Piper Perabo is a very attractive songwriter looking to make it in the big city. My only problem is that is she's from North Jersey. There goes that cliche again where anyone living up to 25 miles outside of Manhattan is moving to the big city. That's like moving from Independence Missouri to Kansas City. It's not that big of a deal especially when you grew up 25 miles away in South Amboy. People commute eveyday on NJ Transit. I'll get past that. (Bruckheimer) repeats a great Flashdance concepct however with too much sappy drama and impauseable messages. Piper needs a job so she makes it on the bar to dance at colt club Coyote Ugly (Hogs and Hefiers) to make ends meet where cute but silly drama take place. Her love interest starts off as a baffoon and continues to be one, taking Pipers sexual advances as she says a sultry "Goodbye" which really means "Let's do it". as Goodbye to impress her and be a her perfect guy. Sorry ladies not in this world! This is a fun movie especially for female teenagers as it's story book romance and star oriented goals are felt thouroughly. It's dramatic intensity is as deep as a puddle, while Flashdance had most viewers believing! This movie is sexy without offensive nudity and sex. Piper (Jersey) is really good in her part. John Goodman as Pipers dad plays a sensitive but easy role. You may finish this movie feeling good, or you may take it seriously enough to hate it's pie in the sky predictability. Not everybodys movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The ladies WILL like this one!!!!!
Review: It seems like every time I mention how wonderful this movie is to a woman, I get the same reaction "Typical Guy Movie!!!". Although there are several scenes which fall into that category, the movie is an overall love story. There are definitely some heartfelt moments and strong female charaters that will make any female fall in love with this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More true than most people realize
Review: As an aspiring singer, I found this film to be closely related to the struggles that musicians go through. Unlike Violet, I don't have stage fright, as a matter of fact, I love being on stage. However, taking 'odd' jobs is something that I'm very relatible to. Even tho I've never taken a job at a bar quite like Coyote Ugly, it shows that when you are trying to achieve a dream, you do whatever possible. So far when it comes to dancing on a bar, I've only ever done it for fun, but it just goes to prove that we don't have an easy time of it trying to make it in the music business, and this type of scenerio is incredibly possible because when you're desperate, you do whatever it takes, even if it means sacrificing a little bit of dignity...even tho you can still have a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Over all this film is easily a 4 because it's not just about girls shaking it on a bar, it's about getting what you want.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Coyote Ugly

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Coyote lovely!
Review: We always hope that our dreams will come true. Some are simply born lucky...they excel in everything they get involved in. But most of us are trapped in a struggle to find that perfect place, time & job.

This story is about a songwriter's dream who tried her luck in the big city. Just like her, we find ourselves wondering when will we ever succeed. But the main thing we have to remember is that no matter what, we should never lose hope & should keep on going.

Life is not a bed of roses nor success served on a silver platter. We should do something to realize those dreams starting right now!

(Actually, I would rate this film 4 1/2 stars)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Makes me want to be a Coyote too
Review: Hey I don't know how is your night life over there but what I saw in this movie is something I would be very willing to experience. I decided to include this movie in my list of films which, in a way or another, changed me or changed my way of seeing life. To be honest, till now it just added up another beautiful dream in my head. And now I am sharing this dream with my best friend. Hey Barb, we'll do it one day. And you out there are all invited when we open up our bar. Guess how we'll call it?

Apart from that, I highly recommend this movie to whoever needs a little more of hope in order to keep believing in good times, in friendship, and why not, also in love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: In a word, "Perfect."
Review: Everyone has one of those movies. One of those movies they can watch twice a day every day and never get bored of. For me, this and "The Breakfast Club" are those movies. What makes Coyote Ugly so special? To be honest, everything. When I went to see in in theatres, I was expecting it to turn out a fun party movie for the guys to enjoy, and for us girls to laugh at. Instead, I found the most likable romance-comedy I've ever seen. It was marketed all wrong. Everything about this movie is perfect. Piper Perabo is my favorite actress to date, despite having done little film work before Coyote Ugly, and with a few projects in the works. There's something in her voice that makes every word out of her mouth believable. Adam Garcia is the sexist man I've ever seen in movies or music, hands down. To top it all off, he has an Aussie accent. (Is there ANYTHING sexier?) He's a dancer before an actor, but I don't care how well he dances, he was born to act and I hopt to see more of him as soon as I can. Ignoring the fact that both my favorite actress and favorite actor are in this movie, the plot and script could practically not have been imporved on. This is a feel-good movie, and the ending is a typical one for a romance, but the characters are so easy to attach to that no other ending would have been satisfying. Even though you might not love the movie to point I do, If you want romance, comedy, or even just to see girls in skimpy clothing do a table dance, you'll see it all here. Don't bother to rent it, put that 3 bucks towards buying it. See that botton that says "Add to cart?" Click it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: If your into the 'chick flick' type movies, then you have to see this movie. Its awesome. It shows real girl power. Girls can have a great time running a bar, too! Its a great movie if your having a girls night in or whatever. Its about a girl whos trying to get a career in writing songs for singers. She moves to New York to try and pursway her career. While shes there, she looks for a job and becomes a Coyote. If you wanna know how the movie ends, you'll have to but it yourself. :) I highly recommend it.
