Show Bar

I strongly disagree with most of the critics on this one.

This is a very solidly made romantic comedy. It is fun, entertaining and sports an excellent musical score. The story is clichéd yes, but remains believable and above all, with a completely original premise. The scenes at the bar are really well made, the atmosphere that transpires is electrifying. Everything is above par, the sound, the cinematography and the acting. Oh, and I almost forgot; the girls are fabulous...

What else does one need for an entertaining afternoon at the movies? Well done.

This movie is not bad today really bad movies are made and people don't say something at least it has a good message and the characters are nice the movies right now are only about how many empty references you put in a movie.

Based on the true story about the crazy female run bar in New York City, Coyote Ugly becomes surprisingly believable despite the usual Hollywood bits. The story follows Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) as she moves from small town New Jersey to the city to become a songwriter. Through her misfortunes she meets boyfriend Kevin O'Donnell (Adam Garcia) and the Coyotes and learns from each of them to overcome the stage fright that threatens to ruin her dreams.

Many moments are sappy or overly dramatic but the majority is enthralling as all the characters are solidly built. The girls all have their own character but aren't so strictly chained to it that they become merely symbols instead of people. While the females may be on the screen the most, the two supporting males Kevin and William Sanford (John Goodman) provide the most heartwarming scenes. Goodman's performance provides subtle humor while his character struggles through the conflict of his daughter leaving and his desire to see her succeed. For an actor who has put in so many great performances, this one still manages to be one of his best.

Coyote Ugly offers something enjoyable to everyone. Guys obviously will enjoy the attractive girls and the provocative dancing while girls can enjoy the strong female characters, each of which won't take crap from any of the men that surround them. Parents can enjoy the side story of the conflict between Violet and her father. Another feature to enjoy is the fabulous music with four songs performed by LeAnn Rimes with some smaller groups as well.

Coyote Ugly crosses the unusual boundary of being both an exciting, fast-paced movie that gets the adrenaline flowing and a sensitive story with strong characters and brilliant acting to get the mind working. The result is a thoroughly rewarding movie experience.

Coyote Ugly is a 2000 comedy-drama that follows a shy aspiring songwriter who starts to come out of her shell after getting a job at a woman-run New York bar.

This is one of those movies that is actually a lot better than it sounds on paper. It tells a decent story about how you should at least try, rather than just believe that you can't do something.

Piper Perabo stars as Violet Sanford, a girl from New Jersey who dreams of becoming a professional songwriter, but lets her stage fright get in the way of trying to get her name out there. Violet moves to New York where she stumbles upon a job at a bar where the women call the shots which helps Violet earn a living, but also helps her step out of her comfort zone.

It's not the best movie, but I've always enjoyed it. The cast is good, the characters are likable and if you're into popish country music then you'll probably like the soundtrack. If you've never seen this before, it's worth a watch.

Not much to say about this one. The film is mostly about watching sexy girls dance on a table. Not much of a storyline, just enough to say the movie has a plot. The singing in the film is nice to listen to, but the movie is basically eye candy, the acting is shallow and sometimes cringe worthy. The plot and lines are predictable and cliché. If you're looking to watch a B movie with hot girls basically pole dancing on a table then this is the film for you.
