Funny but for the wrong reasons!

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2002)

Coyote Ugly is essentially an after school special about a young
girl named Violet who leaves home to pursue her music career in
New York City. Violet, played by Piper Perabo, soon gets hired at
Coyote Ugly, an infamous New York bar know for it's sexy dancing
bartendars. Plot cliches are served up fatser than the on screen
cocktails. The performances (especially those of Perabo, Tyra
Banks, Maria Bello, and an embarrassing John Goodman) are
laughabley over dramatic. Coyote Ugly is so tawdry, sappy, and
brain dead that it becomes hysterically funny. Watch out for a
scene where Perabo stops a bar fight by performing a Blondie
song!! I dare you not to snicker at a scene where John Goodman's
"inspirational" speech to Perabo from his hospital bed. If you can
enjoy a campy cheese fest, then rent this film. If you're looking for
something more intellectual, avoid this film and go to a real bar!
