Aspiring young songwriter Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) decides to leave her father (John Goodman) and her home in a small town and head to the Big Apple where she will seek fame and fortune and have her finger on the pulse of all that is going on in the world of music. But the naive Violet is unpractised in the ways of the big city, and all efforts to get her demo tape fail, and she is left broke and destitute in the city she envisaged would become her oyster. Additionally, her run down apartment gets broken into and she is left penniless and in a quandary as to what to do next.
One night Violet bumps into Mr O'Donnell and a group of his friends whilst in a bar. He poses as a clubs booker and gets Violet to hand her demo tape over to him. She soon finds out that in actual fact Mr O'Donnell turns out to be none other than Kevin (Adam Garcia), the grill chef. Though off to a bad start these two soon become friends, and she tells him of her dreams to become a songwriter. He advises her that the only way to get noticed in New York is for her to sing her songs on 'open mic' night. Violet explains that she suffers from crippling stage fright, something her mother also suffered from, and for her to get up on stage would take some doing. As chance would have it, Kevin just happens to know the manager of the club that holds open mic night, and he offers to take her there.
But money is low and just as she was thinking she would have to head home and face defeat, fate steps in, in the form of 'Coyote Ugly' a saloon bar in the centre of town. Bar owner, Lil (Mario Bello) is impressed with the young Violet. Coyote Ugly is a fun house; One of those bars where just about anything goes and the shy Violet isn't quite sure if this is for her or not, but nonetheless she decides to give it a go for the sake of her dream, and she arranges to start work there the next night.
When Violet arrives for work she is in for a bit of a shock as Coyote Ugly is a very wild bar, with a bad name and a bar where just about anything goes. There are regular bar room brawls, outrageous antics and beautiful, wild, crazy women and it has the infamous reputation as a bit of a hell hole. Basically Coyote Ugly is a bar where the barmaids call the shots. Using their feminine wiles they provoke the men and whip them up into a frenzy with their suggestive dancing and loud singing, till the guys can't wait to throw their dollar bills at them. The girls do very nicely for tips and the whole thing is done with tongue in cheek and a real nice friendly atmosphere.
As Violet walks through the door she is taken aback when she sees that there are girls gyrating on the bar with very little on, dragging the customers onto the bar and pouring beer down a mans shirt. There is a sea of men, stamping, whistling and howling for more. It's all a bit of a culture shock for the shy small town Violet and she sets to work behind the bar quietly, head down, while chaos reigns around her. Violet is determined to make a go of it as she needs the money and although being out of her depth, and despite the fact that she has the interference of the other well meaning barmaids and the awful bitch of the bar Rachel on her case, brilliantly played by Bridget Moynahan, she sets about to do just that.
One night all hell breaks loose and the whole club ends up in a massive brawl. Violet suddenly seems to change and come out of her shell. She decides she will calm the clientele down by performing and singing, and forgetting her stage fright, Violet, or 'Jersey' as she is now called by the rest of the barmaids, jumps up onto the bar and starts to perform. Could this be a turning point for the young Violet? And will she turn her dreams into reality in the Big Apple?-
What I like most about Coyote Ugly is that it is just a real fun film. Pure entertainment and not a bad plot line either. Originally based on an article on the actual club 'The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon' written by Elizabeth Gilbert. The Coyote Ugly bar opened in 1993 and quickly became a favourite haunt to the Greenwich Village hipsters. A deliberate decision was made early on to use mainly unknown actors within the film to give it a 'rough edge' and I think it is this that gives the film its quirky quality. I like Piper Perado a lot in the part of Violet and she brings a lot of energy to her role. I thought all the young actors did really well and brought a vibrant and colourful element to the film.
The premise is a fun one and made for pure visual entertainment. The film features Johnny Knoxville (Jackass) LiAnn Rimes, Tyra Banks, and a sincere performance by John Goodman as Violets father. The music is brilliant throughout and really sets the mood and atmosphere of the film and features LeAnn Rimes as the singing voice of Violet. Music featured is by Def Leppard, EMF, INXS, Rare Blend, Tamara Walker, Don Henley, Snap, LeAnn Rimes, Mary Griffin, Blondie, The Calling, Billy Idol and so many more. There is a lot of action scenes within the Coyote Ugly club, as a lot of the films story is set there. The club atmosphere is really authentic with lots of singing and dancing which gives the film its 'fun feel' and sing a long factor.
'Coyote Ugly' refers to the act of a one night stand, then waking in the morning and finding out that the person beside you in the cold light of day is a 'big' mistake, and to get away you would happily gnaw a limb off to escape, without waking the person in question. - Coyotes will gnaw off a limb if they are caught in a trap so they can escape! -
Coyote Ugly is much more than just a romantic Comedy, or chick flick. It's a bit different; it's a quirky, raucous, fast moving, fun filled 100 minutes and I recommend it quite simply as purely a fun evening's entertainment. -

...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: Adam Garcia Disadvantages: None that i can think off
...by Gina Wendkos. What is Coyote Ugly I hear you ask well… it is… "Did you ever wake up sober after a one night stand, and the person you're next to is lying on your arm, and they're so ugly, you'd rather chew off your arm then risk waking 'em? That's coyote ugly." It is a brilliant film for anyone male or female, it is a good film that has to be seen even if it is just once!! The film actually won 4 awards and was nominated for another 4 awards. ... ...evening and rips her top, Coyote ugly is quite the hot spot bar and is always packed out, the barmaids give quite an impression on the men especially when they get up on the bar and start dancing…Thing is with the bar you can NEVER ORDER WATER other wise you will get hosed down!! Violet makes friends with Kevin, a love interest I must add who attempts to help her but does his efforts pay off?? Violets father sees his daughters picture in the paper ...

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 sound track, believeable characters, feel good film Disadvantages: some sad parts
I was bought CoyoteUgly by my best friend for Christmas about 3 years ago and I absolutely love the film! I would probably classify this film as a 'chick flick' but my boyfriend and male friend's have watched this film and enjoyed it so don't let that put you off.
The Story
Violet Sanford (played by Piper Perabo) is a singer/songwriter and decides to move from small downtown Jersey to New York to try and get her work recognised. Not having much money, she has to rent a small run down apartment. She send out demon tapes of her music to hundreds of companies and they are all returned to her without even being opened.
One night, Violet is out having a few drinks when she runs into Kevin O'Donnell (played by Adam Garcia). She is told by one of Kevin's friends that Kevin is the owner of the club there are in. You can see there ...
Advantages: A very screen friendly film Disadvantages: Too perfect?
To be honest I always thought this was a 90's film, but 2000's CoyoteUgly actually broke on to our screens as the new millennium was just beginning and it could be fair to say it brought a whole new era of womens attitude with it. Perhaps classed as a chick flick for its powerful women characters and good looking cast, I have no problem sitting down to watch this movie that probably has one of the most well known soundtracks of recently memory - 'Can't Fight The Moonlight' by LeAnn Rimes.
What inspired me to write this review today of all days? Well last night I was up til past 1AM watching it on ITV2, it's probably the tenth time I've seen it in the listing in the space of a week but with nothing else to do I decided to watch it. For the most part I was impressed with their character and scene development, because everything seems ...
Advantages: Great soundtrack, fantastic storyline Disadvantages: There aren't any!
CoyoteUgly is a chick flick with a great soundtrack, a great cast & a great storyline.
It's based on Violet Sanford (Piper Pirabo) & her love for music & quest to make it bit, but she ends up in the last place she expects.
Violet lives with her dad in a New Jersey but has always wanted to get out & go to New York with the dream of making it big as a song writer.
When she arrives in NY she goes in search or record labels & someone to sing her songs. She's instantly turned down by the first company but she doesn't give up on her dream. She eventually ends up going into a bar looking for work & maybe someone to sing her songs there & the manager gives her a trial as a barmaid. What Violet doesn't know is that this is no ordinary bar & the barmaids are no ordinary barmaids. Coyoteugly is the hottest spot in town where guys go ...

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
