![]() Alongside Piper Perabo is Adam Garcia who plays mysterious love interest and all round good guy Kevin but whilst obviously handsome his only really memorable contribution is a dance scene which allows him to strut his funky stuff on the bar as women go wild bidding for him. Yes she is meant to be this timid New Jersey girl trying to make it in the big city but it lacks any oomph. Piper Perabo who plays Violet Sanford looks lovely and has a smile to rival Julia Roberts but fails to breathe any life in to her character making it wetter than a wet weekend. In a way all the bar scenes have a feel of " Cocktail" about them but the dials turned up to 11 when it comes to the over the top theatrics.Īll these entertaining scenes doesn't hide the fact that there is some less than amazing acting going on. It certainly doesn't strive for realism either when it's going for entertainment with that fantasy side which makes you wish that you could find a bar just like Coyote Ugly where the liquor runs free and the entertainment includes setting fire to the bar whilst dancing on it. ![]() But in a strange way it doesn't matter because all the in your face, obvious scenes are pure entertainment especially those featuring the women dancing on the bar to such songs as "Devil Went Down to Georgia", "Cowboy" and "One Way or Another". It's this heavy handedness and in you face nature makes it feel like a movie made for women by red blooded men, why else would you have a storyline about a woman reaching for her dreams yet filled with semi clad women dancing on bars in a raunchy and outrageous nature. As such it's a predictable movie with little which will make you stop to think and is so in your face that the storyline becomes less important as all the drinking and dancing at Coyote Ugly takes centre stage. It is of course padded out and we get the obligatory romantic storyline which is as slim as the main storyline, relationship issues between father and daughter as well as of course the need to work leading Violet to work as a Coyote in the bar Coyote Ugly. To say that the storyline to "Coyote Ugly" is slim is an understatement because it's basically about a young, nervous singer trying to make it in New York, following in the footsteps of her mother. Forced to find work to pay her way Violet comes across Coyote Ugly a popular night spot where the cocktails are not the only thing shaken, as the sexy bar staff shake their booty on the bar each night to the wild applause of the bars patrons. Having decided to head to the city in search of fame, aspiring song writer Violet Sandford ( Piper Perabo - The Prestige) discovers making it as a singer-songwriter is not that easy, especially when you suffer from stage fright. All of which is a good thing because there is certainly very little subtlety to "Coyote Ugly" and is at times bordering on the cheesiness of " Showgirls". In a way it's confusing with this mixed image yet it is also surprisingly entertaining with many memorable scenes featuring young ladies dancing on bars and a roaring soundtrack which is prominent throughout. One way to describe "Coyote Ugly" is to call it a chick flick about empowering women, but one which is made by red blooded men which means we have a lot of in your face raunchiness and often scantily dressed women.
