A piece of Bruckheimer crap

Rating: 5/10 (20 March 2004)

I have been compelled to comment on this movie because it managed to waste 101 minutes of my precious time. "Coyote Ugly" is much too lengthy to discuss such a basic premise: girl moves to big city to fulfill her dreams and encounters interesting experiences along the way. Mediocre, teenybop and emotionless performance by lead Piper Perabo, who happens to be in almost every scene. Plus a dumbed-down script that will make you scratch your head and go "Whaaa?" while you feel that you're being dragged on by a hole-filled story.
I haven't been to Coyote Ugly, so I couldn't say if the movie is a close depiction of what really goes on in a Coyote Ugly bar. In any case, if you like to see women gyrating on bar ledges and people being doused with ice cubes, then this movie is for you. If not, don't punish yourself by watching this crap bar movie.
The only good thing about "Coyote Ugly" is Kevin O'Donnell (Adam Garcia)'s bar dance.
