How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:73

Fresh:25

Rotten:48

Average Rating:2.8/10

Consensus: Well, the women in this film are incredibly attractive and flaunt that fact quite a lot. Unfortunatly, that's all there is to the film. The script is almost as big a joke as the charactors, and everything else follows the same path. If you're looking for a tease then see this flick, otherwise stay as far away as possible.

Runtime: 1 hr 47 mins

Genre: Dramas

Synopsis: In COYOTE UGLY, an aspiring songwriter, Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo), leaves her small-town home and her supportive father (John Goodman) for New York City in hopes of starting a music career. But... In COYOTE UGLY, an aspiring songwriter, Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo), leaves her small-town home and her supportive father (John Goodman) for New York City in hopes of starting a music career. But life in the big city is harder than she imagined. Feeling defeated, and unemployed, she hears about a job opening at a bar called Coyote Ugly, and persuades the bar owner, Lil (Mario Bello), to give her a chance among the bar's beautiful brigade of bartenders. When Violet arrives for work the bouncer tells her it's a quiet night, but when she goes inside the bar she is hit by a wall of throbbing music and howling men. Two women are atop the bar, pulling a customer back over it, pulling up his shirt, and pouring beer on his chest. Welcome to COYOTE UGLY. How will Violet deal with the bar? How will it deal with her? What of her songwriting plans? Inside this raucous, raunchy movie, coproduced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer (FLASHDANCE), is a sweet romance between Violet and Kevin (Adam Garcia), a refreshing escape from the chaos of the bar.

When you add up all the cliches and the sweet, no-worries-to-speak-of plot, it comes out to be a hefty price to pay for an evening of cinema.

The strangely appealing silliness of Coyote Ugly ain't over till the fat guy dirty dances.

You can likely glean the same sort of entertainment value from a dozen seconds of intent staring at the poster or video box cover.

Since the movie is all noise and lights, it's hard to tell where more noise and lights have been added.... (Unrated Extended Cut)
