Coyote Ugly

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
As a producer, Jerry Bruckheimer makes movies for guys, mostly action films like Top Gun and Gone in 60 Seconds. The ones he makes that feature women, such as Flashdance and now Coyote Ugly, broaden their appeal with a fondness for "strong women." For Bruckheimer, that means self-determined, attractive women who don't need men to get what they want. Is there anything sexier than that? In Coyote Ugly, the charming young waif Piper Perabo stars as Violet, a New Jersey waitress who moves to New York to make it big as a songwriter. She has absolutely no idea how the music business works, relying instead on her faith in her own abilities. In order to make ends meet, she gets a job in a bar called Coyote Ugly, where the bartenders are scantily clad women who dance on the bar and order around their mostly male clientele. Really, they are strippers who don't have to take off their clothes. In fact, the owner (Maria Bello) orders them to enact the first rule of strip clubs: "Appear available but never be available." Bruckheimer is smart enough to focus on the naive girl instead of the seamier side of the story, following her as she realizes her dream and picks up a disposable but nice man along the way. Further "empowering" the female figures in the film, Zoe (Tyra Banks), the bartender whom Violet is replacing, leaves in order to go to law school. See? They're as smart as they are sexy! Then there's John Goodman, who turns in an absolutely charming performance as Violet's concerned father. This is a sweet and inoffensive film as long as you don't think too much about it. --Andy Spletzer

The top bar in New York.......2007-06-22

Five girls work it, Vi sings there every night. Almost everything happens.
Guys are autioned off. Funny movie!

love it or hate it.......2007-02-06

This film is a must-see. With gorgeous women for the lads, and an upbeat girl-power can-do message for the girls, you cannot fail to enjoy this movie.

A pumping soundtrack and brilliant choreography make you want to start dancing on the Coyote Ugly bar with the stars. Unknown Piper Perabo is obviously destined for great things (think younger Sarah Jessica Parker) and Adam Garcia is well sexy as the prime australian rib she auctions off. Tyra Banks makes an appearance and Maria Bello gets her arguably most important role to date.

The message behind this movie goes something like: "life may suck at times, but it can be fun if it sucks with the right people". This is the film for all the underpaid, under-appreciated gophers of society. We do what we have to to get by and Coyote Ugly shows that all of us can make it.

Coyote Ugly (Unrated Special Edition).......2007-01-21

Just a warning that the unrated version includes nudity and a sex scene not shown on the rated release. So don't buy it for a kid who loves the music and dancing. The adults, on the other hand, will be happy.

Fluffy, contrived crud........2006-11-20

I'm not sure which is worse- the concept of the bar "Coyote Ugly." or the movie about it. I suppose both. A lot is made about Piper Parabo's performance, as it were. But I just don't see it. I mean, you'd have to be able to act to receive such an accolade. And in this movie, Parabo is a strident, sell a little T and A as far as one can w/o becoming a stripper, with as much a grasp on the real world as 3rd grader. The movie is a toy for high school/college age mopes who find places where the worst kept secret in the bar business- hiring hotties to sucker young, naiive men into spending money they can't afford- interesting places to hang out at. This is "Cocktail" in reverse, to an extent. This is one of those movies that creates a non-existing, pure utopia of a bar. The place where everyone basically laughs, cheers and sings in unison at a contrived, silly atmosphere that only exists in the minds of Hollywood execs, and college campuses to a much lesser extent. The dialogue to is equal to that of "Coctail"- pointless, been there before, dense dialogue. If you're young and have yet to be in touch with real life, see this. It's a fantasy flick for escapism. If you're a quality film lover, run the other way!

Something for the girls, something for the guys.......2006-07-25

You don't often get movies with typical "chick flick" plots that also pander to guys with hot girls strutting around showing off their body. Coyote Ugly does it, and does a decent job of pulling it off. It's not a great film, but it's worth a viewing with your boy/girlfriend, whatever the case may be. The unrated version unfortunately spoils the balance a bit by throwing in bits of nudity. Do you really want that in a sugary date flick? Probably not. Stick to the theatrical cut, and you might find yourself humming "Can't Fight the Moonlight" as well.

Description

From hit-making producer Jerry Bruckheimer (GONE IN 60 SECONDS, ARMEGEDDON) comes COYOTE UGLY, the intoxicating sexy comedy starring an unbeatable cast of hot new stars inlcuding Piper Perabo (ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE) and Maria Bello (PAYBACK). Moving to New York to pursue her dream of becoming a famous songwriter, Violet Sanford (Perabo) finds herself desperate and broke. Through a twist of fate, the shy, innocent Violet lands a job as one of the barmaids at the hottest nightclub in town -- the down and dirty, wild and fun Coyote Ugly. Pouring drinks and overflowing with attitude, the "Coyotes" spend more time on top of the bar than behind it, tantalizing the standing-room-only crowd with their outrageous antics! It's one wild adventure for a small-town girl chasing her dream in the big city.

As a producer, Jerry Bruckheimer makes movies for guys, mostly action films like Top Gun and Gone in 60 Seconds. The ones he makes that feature women, such as Flashdance and now Coyote Ugly, broaden their appeal with a fondness for "strong women." For Bruckheimer, that means self-determined, attractive women who don't need men to get what they want. Is there anything sexier than that? In Coyote Ugly, the charming young waif Piper Perabo stars as Violet, a New Jersey waitress who moves to New York to make it big as a songwriter. She has absolutely no idea how the music business works, relying instead on her faith in her own abilities. In order to make ends meet, she gets a job in a bar called Coyote Ugly, where the bartenders are scantily clad women who dance on the bar and order around their mostly male clientele. Really, they are strippers who don't have to take off their clothes. In fact, the owner (Maria Bello) orders them to enact the first rule of strip clubs: "Appear available but never be available." Bruckheimer is smart enough to focus on the naive girl instead of the seamier side of the story, following her as she realizes her dream and picks up a disposable but nice man along the way. Further "empowering" the female figures in the film, Zoe (Tyra Banks), the bartender whom Violet is replacing, leaves in order to go to law school. See? They're as smart as they are sexy! Then there's John Goodman, who turns in an absolutely charming performance as Violet's concerned father. This is a sweet and inoffensive film as long as you don't think too much about it. --Andy Spletzer

The top bar in New York.......2007-06-22

Five girls work it, Vi sings there every night. Almost everything happens.
Guys are autioned off. Funny movie!

love it or hate it.......2007-02-06

This film is a must-see. With gorgeous women for the lads, and an upbeat girl-power can-do message for the girls, you cannot fail to enjoy this movie.

A pumping soundtrack and brilliant choreography make you want to start dancing on the Coyote Ugly bar with the stars. Unknown Piper Perabo is obviously destined for great things (think younger Sarah Jessica Parker) and Adam Garcia is well sexy as the prime australian rib she auctions off. Tyra Banks makes an appearance and Maria Bello gets her arguably most important role to date.

The message behind this movie goes something like: "life may suck at times, but it can be fun if it sucks with the right people". This is the film for all the underpaid, under-appreciated gophers of society. We do what we have to to get by and Coyote Ugly shows that all of us can make it.

Coyote Ugly (Unrated Special Edition).......2007-01-21

Just a warning that the unrated version includes nudity and a sex scene not shown on the rated release. So don't buy it for a kid who loves the music and dancing. The adults, on the other hand, will be happy.

Fluffy, contrived crud........2006-11-20

I'm not sure which is worse- the concept of the bar "Coyote Ugly." or the movie about it. I suppose both. A lot is made about Piper Parabo's performance, as it were. But I just don't see it. I mean, you'd have to be able to act to receive such an accolade. And in this movie, Parabo is a strident, sell a little T and A as far as one can w/o becoming a stripper, with as much a grasp on the real world as 3rd grader. The movie is a toy for high school/college age mopes who find places where the worst kept secret in the bar business- hiring hotties to sucker young, naiive men into spending money they can't afford- interesting places to hang out at. This is "Cocktail" in reverse, to an extent. This is one of those movies that creates a non-existing, pure utopia of a bar. The place where everyone basically laughs, cheers and sings in unison at a contrived, silly atmosphere that only exists in the minds of Hollywood execs, and college campuses to a much lesser extent. The dialogue to is equal to that of "Coctail"- pointless, been there before, dense dialogue. If you're young and have yet to be in touch with real life, see this. It's a fantasy flick for escapism. If you're a quality film lover, run the other way!

Something for the girls, something for the guys.......2006-07-25

You don't often get movies with typical "chick flick" plots that also pander to guys with hot girls strutting around showing off their body. Coyote Ugly does it, and does a decent job of pulling it off. It's not a great film, but it's worth a viewing with your boy/girlfriend, whatever the case may be. The unrated version unfortunately spoils the balance a bit by throwing in bits of nudity. Do you really want that in a sugary date flick? Probably not. Stick to the theatrical cut, and you might find yourself humming "Can't Fight the Moonlight" as well.
