way through life at a fashionable bar in New York City. Four new LeAnn Rimes tracks highlight this collection. Though all from the pen of veteran songwriter Diane Warren, the tracks vary in style from diva pop ("Can't Fight the Moonlight") to sentimental musings ("Please Remember"). It is only a matter of time before Rimes leaves country music completely behind for the sleek modern world of mainstream pop. The remaining songs are a hotchpotch of different eras. EMF's "Unbelievable" and Snap's "The Power" hark back to the early 1990s, while Don Henley and INXS deliver the dancebeat kick of the 1980s. The firing fiddle of the Charlie Daniels Band's 1979 hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" seems out of context here. But then, this bar must have one odd jukebox to begin with. --Rob O'Connor

undemanding tosh that remixes 80s "classics" like Fame, Cocktail, Flashdance and Dirty Dancing for the turn of the century. The main attraction is Coyote Ugly itself, a raucous New York bar run by tough-on-the-outside softie Lil (Maria Bello) where the drinks and the customers are straight and the girls who serve have to be skilled at lightning-fast mental maths when adding up complex rounds as well as a sort of clothed stripping as they line-dance, karaoke-wail or pole-hug on top of the often-flaming bar itself. The plot is a trifle about a shrinking violet actually called Violet (Piper Parabo) who comes to the big city to do one-better than her showbiz near-miss deceased mother and make it as a songwriter but is paralysed by a stage-fright she only overcomes after a couple of energetic nights working the crowds at Coyote Ugly. There's the usual on-off romance, with a sensitive Australian bloke (Adam Garcia) and some soap with an estranged Dad (always-good-value John Goodman) who is hospitalised at just the right moment to prompt a family revelation and a reunion that pays off with a not-unexpected happy ending. It all boils down to a 12-certificate teenage magazine romance set in what amounts to a nudie bar where there's no actual nudity. Both the men in the heroine's life seriously question whether writhing suggestively for drunken lechers is an empowering activity for an independent girl but since that's more or less the film's strongest visual effect the script has to come down on the side of the girls--if not the customers. The supporting babes--Russian blonde Cammie (Izabella Miko), ferocious brunette Rachel (Bridget Moynahan) and upwardly-mobile Zoe (Tyra Banks)--gyrate and model Spice Girls cast-off gear, but make less of an impression than Melanie Lynskey (the "other one" from Heavenly Creatures) as the devoted, slightly dumpy best friend back home. Like most Jerry Bruckheimer products, it's slickly put-together, at once exciting and predictable, cut like a commercial or a pop promo, directed by a non-entity (David McNally), fantastical yet blue-collar "real" and self-destructs in the mind after viewing. --Kim NewmanOn the DVD: The disc is jammed with special features and bonus material: "Search for the Stars" outlines the quest to find the young cast members; "Inside the Song" offers an analysis of the tunes, a voiceover by LeAnn Rimes and the thoughts of songwriter Diana Warren; "Coyote 101"describes the ins and outs of the bar itself, from the drink mixes to the dancers; while "Action Overload" simply shows full-force action sequences from the film. The disc also contains four deleted scenes, the LeAnn Rimes music video, "Can't fight the Moonlight", the theatrical trailer and an energetic commentary by the Coyotes themselves, Tara Banks, Maria Bello, Izabella Miko, Bridget Moynahan and Piper Perbo. Although the disc certainly doesn't scrimp on the special features front, each one tends to be fairly short and uninformative, lacking detail. The DVD itself gives the visual and audio excellence you would expect from a recent Hollywood blockbuster with a 5.1 audio ratio and crisp widescreen format of 2.35:1. --Nikki Disney
Advantages: Great Acting and A Good Plot. Disadvantages: Adam Garcia.
...of my favourite movies - Coyote Ugly. This is another one of those films that I wanted to watch again as soon as the credits rolled.
I had great expectations of this because of the producer, well-known Jerry Bruckheimer who is responsible for Flashdance, Armageddon, Pearl Harbour, Black Hawk Down, Bad Company and Pirates Of The Caribbean, among others. --- Technical Stuff. --- Year: 2000.
Time Running: 97 Minutes.
Cert: 12. Director: David McNally. ... ...- Commentary by all the Coyote girls. - Featurette - Search For The Stars. A set of three small documentarys explaining how they chose the cast for Violet, Kevin, and The Coyotes. - Featurette - Inside The Songs.

...The club is called Coyote Ugly Jersey realises as it is named after the experience of having a one night stand and waiting up to the most ugly species lying next to you. You would rather gnaw off your arm than sleep with him!Thats COYOTE UGLY!And the coyote girls have atitude.Violet is met with disgust by her father when he finds out about her new work and also her boyfriend believes that she is seling herself short but it is at the Coyote Ugly bar ... ...performances from all of the coyote girls and the dance routines are great. Especially the western dance routine! Adam Garcia plays the perfect boyfriend to a T ,I wouldn't have minded being the actress who plays Violet and being able to give him a snog! I think the guy who plays Violets dad was just great aswell as we saw him really turn around towwards the end of the film and it brought a tear to my eye to see how proud he was about his daughters ...

Advantages: great story, great film, great soundtrack Disadvantages: none
Drinking, women dancing on a bar, and a lot of good rock music? Sounds like a recipe for a successful film in my book!
Having finally succumbed to the theory that not all hyped movies are as bad as they sound, I am finally getting around to writing a review on this movie that I ordered on Sky Box office a few months ago. Serves me right for hiding it in a Word document and forgetting the blood title!
I ordered this on a cold and lonely night in ... ...gotten around to going to the cinema. Too much hype I thought. So eventually the occasion arose, and, grabbing the opportunity, a pizza and some beers were in order for a quiet night in.
QUIET NIGHT IN!!! This film doesn’t allow it!

...popcorn!! Thank goodness Coyote Ugly has the delicious Adam Garcia with an Austalian accent to die for....wonder if it is his real voice or not??? He plays Mr. O'Donnell, no Christian name for now, see the film to see why.The small town girl, all so innocent is Violet Sandford, played by Piper Perabo, and she kept the hubby happy with her dancing and looks. Its a run of the mill story with not alot of big surprises, and you feel all gooey and happy ... ...to drink in so called Coyote Ugly..as "cheers was taken".The bar is owned by Lil, played by Maria Bellow, the boss who is strict but likeable and good on her for giving our gal a try. It's a place for dancing, drinking having fun....just don't order water. Here Violet becomes Jersey, the kindergarden nun, who against all obsticles makes it to be a coyote. Don't want to ruin the film but when she has to make 250.00 in two hours, well this is a briliant ...

Advantages: Great film, Good dancing and singing, funny, oringal!!! Disadvantages: errr none that i no of!
When coyote ugly was realised at the cinema I was torn between going to see that and ‘What Women want’. Finally i have seen it, after renting it out last night. It’s a good film for all. In the lads case there's the women dancing on the bar and in us lasses case it’s a good romantic story to follow.
The main actress in the film is Piper Perabo, who plays Violet Sandford, a young determined women. Violet moves away from her ... ...coolest bar in New York, Coyote Ugly. She discovers that one of the girls is leaving for college. Violet goes to the bar, runs into the boss known as coyote Lil (Maria Bello) and gets herself the job on a trail basis. When she gets there she is amazed to see women dancing on bar and well basically throwing the drink at the customers. I don't wanna give no more away but basically she gets the job and becomes known as the coyote Jersey and of course ...

DVD Description
Aspiring songwriter Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) leaves her home and father (John Goodman) for New York. But all she finds there is rejection. She hears one of a group of beautiful women is leaving her job in a bar called COYOTE UGLY. Violet persuades the bar owner, Lil (Mario Bello), to give her a chance. When Violet arrives, the bouncer tells her it's a quiet night. She goes in. A wall of noise hits her--throbbing music, howling men. Two women are atop the bar, pulling a customer back over it, pulling up his shirt, pouring beer on his chest. Welcome to COYOTE UGLY. It's a Bruckheimer moment. Since Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson produced FLASHDANCE in 1983, there's been a parade of flashy, hyped-up movies showing a world of gleaming polished surfaces--sometimes metal (GONE IN 60 SECONDS), sometimes female flesh dripping with water or sweat (COYOTE UGLY). How will Violet deal with the bar
