Product Description
From 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

This review is from: Coyote Ugly (DVD)
I loved the movie when I saw it years ago and I loved it just as much when I watched it again this weekend. The music and the dancing on the bar was fantastic. Good story line too. Bit of a chick flick.

One Of My Favorite Movies,
By Sandi "Shopaholic" (Clarksburg, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coyote Ugly (DVD)
At first I thought this movie was for the men, not so, this is a definite chic flick (Although the men will enjoy it too, for obvious reasons). I really enjoyed the story line. This is one of those movies that I will gladly watch over and over.

Coyote Beautiful,

This review is from: Coyote Ugly (DVD)
I'll admit that I purchased this movie solely on the basis of wanting to view some of Piper Perabo's earlier work. Is it possible not to fall in love with this very talented actress. It is surprising that Piper's performance didn't offer a springboard to more mainstream movies - although Lost & Delirious, her follow-up film was a gem, but little seen. For those wishing to view Perabo's early work (pre Covert Affairs), this is a must buy!
