Coyote Ugly

After 50 minutes of this I had to leave the room -I just couldn't sit through it anymore. Everything about this movie is mediocre: the plot, the script, the acting, everything! Not one scene managed to look authentic or believable. The story is just the usual teen movie drek about someone reaching their dreams, blah, blah, blah. Sometimes everyone wants to watch something a bit trashy that doesn't require you to use your brain, but this is just too moronic. I suggest you only watch this if you are very unintelligent or very young and easily impressed. 1/10

I can't begin to tell just how awful this movie is, so I won't even try. Also, the lead in this movie is the worst actor to come along since Lassie. One more thing I'd like to say is that the soundtrack to this movie is enough to send one packing to the Insane Asylum. If you value your money, don't rent this turd of a movie.

Just think, it cost a total of $250,000 to make "Clerks". How the hell did they spend $45 Million to make this glorified music video? A practically unknown cast, two or three sets, no special effects that I could see... I know, it must have been spent on that expertly crafted, economical, tension filled screenplay. Shoot, that bar set must have cost a bundle. Anyway, I guess Jerry Bruckheimer wouldn't be caught dead producing anything for less. I'm just surprised he didn't blow up anything. Anyway, it wasn't an awful film I guess. The female leads seemed to have some good chemistry and the soundtrack was OK. IMO It just seems a pity that this rather mediocre project could have been made for $5 Million without any loss to the production, and 6 more $5 million dollar indy films of merit could have been made as well.

The best way to sum up this film is Flashdance 2000. That's not surprising, as Jerry Bruckheimer produced both. Althoughed the story is cliched as hell and the script doesn't flesh out characters, there's still something about it that makes it enjoyable. Although Violet should read on the page as a wet,whiney girl Piper Perabo gives a bravo performance that makes you root for her. Don't think the moral behind the film ''NEVER GIVE UP AND YOU WILL MAKE IT'' always works. Watch 8MM and see what I mean.

Just don't watch this unless you absolutely must. There is nothing redeeming here. ...Unless you happen to be trapped in the early 2000's and have no soul.

If this movie were more about Piper Perabo's character and less about the bar, this might have been halfway decent. Piper's Violet Stanford and Karen Friendly (Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle) both have a virgin kindegarden teacher quality to them that's endearing. Here's hoping she'll find a better movie to be in.

What a shocker! Coyote Ugly was a great movie! Looking at the commercials I was expecting a PG-13 version of "Showgirls". Instead, I saw a young dreamer fight to meet her goals and learn how tough the world can be. I was surprised at how much of a "coming of age" movie this was. A fresh, young, hot, new group of actors and an amazing soundtrack add to this movie's greatness.
