"FUN"
Although panned by critics, "Coyote Ugly" was geared toward the young female audience who could identify with a young woman trying to make it in New York City. Violet (Piper Perabo) heads to New York City to make it as a singer, but finds the road to success is tougher than anticipated. Violet gets a job as a waitress in the real life bar the Coyote Ugly and it is there that she makes new friends, while showing the world how great a singer she is. LeAnn Rimes did the actual singing of the Violet character as Perabo's vocals were dubbed. Rimes also makes a special guest appearance in the movie.The film was a modest success at the boxoffice, but more importantly, the soundtrack became huge, going 4X Platinum in 2008. Rimes breakout pop hit "Can't Fight The Moonlight" would go all the way to #11 on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart.The DVD is filled with bonuses including a LeAnn Rimes music video, commentaries, extra scenes, trailer, and more. The film was also directed by big-time Hollywood director Jerry Bruckheimer.In all a fun film, with great music, and characters the audience can enjoy.
