As a producer, Jerry Bruckheimer makes movies for guys, mostly action films like Top Gun and Gone in 60 Seconds. The ones he makes that feature women, such as Flashdance and now Coyote Ugly, broaden their appeal with a fondness for "strong women." For Bruckheimer, that means self-determined, attractive women who don't need men to get what they want. Is there anything sexier than that? In Coyote Ugly, the charming young waif Piper Perabo stars as Violet, a New Jersey waitress who moves to New York to make it big as a songwriter. She has absolutely no idea how the music business works, relying instead on her faith in her own abilities. In order to make ends meet, she gets a job in a bar called Coyote Ugly, where the bartenders are scantily clad women who dance on the bar and order around their mostly male clientele. Really, they are strippers who don't have to take off their clothes. In fact, the owner (Maria Bello) orders them to enact the first rule of strip clubs: "Appear available but never be available." Bruckheimer is smart enough to focus on the naive girl instead of the seamier side of the story, following her as she realizes her dream and picks up a disposable but nice man along the way. Further "empowering" the female figures in the film, Zoe (Tyra Banks), the bartender whom Violet is replacing, leaves in order to go to law school. See? They're as smart as they are sexy! Then there's John Goodman, who turns in an absolutely charming performance as Violet's concerned father. This is a sweet and inoffensive film as long as you don't think too much about it. --Andy Spletzer

4.0 out of 5 stars >>>Info About UNRATED SCENES, June 2, 2005

By	KiWiSouP "kiwisoup" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Coyote Ugly (Unrated Special Edition) (DVD)

I got my hands on a copy the week before it came out and here are the extra parts that weren't in the initial release...even as bonus deleted scenes. I may have missed some...it has been some time since I have seen the movie.

- Extra solo dance scene with Tyra Banks to the song "Up In Here" (If Tyra could dance a little better they probably would have kept this scene)

- More outfits and dialogue can be seen in the changing room scene with Violet and Cammy.

- Phone conversation with Violet's dad includes her telling him to hold on while she dresses.

- Sex scene has been upgraded to softcore porn. (Obvious body double)

- Bra scene on the bar seems to be extended, correct me if I'm wrong

- New baseball scene with Cammy taking her clothes off to distract the opposing team. (Cheesy)

- Various inserted close up shots of the women's curves.

My advice is to stick with the original version. I have bought unrated DVDs before and this is the ONLY one where I regret doing so. Unless you are a straight man...which if you were, why are you buying this chick flick? That's about the only person who would enjoy the new additions. I literally cringe every time the new scenes come on. The theatrical version was sexy...but not in your face, trying way too hard to be sexy like this version.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Movie to Howl For!-"COYOTE UGLY"!, November 11, 2000

By	C-Girl 25 (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

"Coyote Ugly" has to be the best romantic dramedy this year, even though this year has had it's share of bad romances-Autumn in New York, Down to You and The Next Best Thing just to name a few. The bar dancing scenes are incredible accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack including one of my favorites, "Pour Some Sugar on Me". Plus there are two new great songs from LeAnn Rimes,who is also in the movie, but I'm not reviewing the soundtrack so I'll skip this. And that's just the stuff you see in the previews. What you don't see on the surface through the previews are the great performances from newcomer Piper Perabo, Adam Garcia and the always great John Goodman. the story is mainly about Piper Perabo's character, nicknamed Jersey, who goes into the big city trying to get someone to perform her well written songs. She runs into several problems with a new boyfriend, some disagreements with her father, and many crazy encounters at the bar "Coyote Ugly". The title is explained in the movie to mean when you go home with a one night stand after a night of big drinking and you wake up with someone so ugly that you would rather chew your arm off than wake them up to know you're leaving. Believe me, you're not going to feel that way leaving this one! BUY THIS MOVIE!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lived Up Expectations, February 20, 2001

By	Wendy (Hacienda Heights, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Coyote Ugly is a fantastic movie that not only incorporates that typical... guy finds girl, loses girl, gets girl back... chick flick storyline, but also a whole lot of fun and excitement. It was in my opinion, one of the cutest and funnest movies of 2000. Piper (Violet-leading actress) played the right role for the part. She has an innocent face that's hard not to fall in love with. As for the leading actor, he too shines in his part, with his down to earth personality that depicts the hard-working population of society. I highly recommend this movie, not only for the so called, "hot babes," (as many males would describe it) but for the countless breathtaking moments of desire for sweet love. If you're a romantic, you'll surely LOVE this movie, because I know I did. Leann Rimes really fit in great in the picture also. Her songs worked magic upon the atmosphere of the movie. I even have the soundtrack! Anyhow, I hope all of you watch this movie because I'm sure both guys and girls will enjoy it, and maybe you'll appreciate your significant other afterwards... or strive to reach your career.
