It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a fun, sexy, trashy and sweet movie. I've watched it a couple times now because the dancing on the bar scenes are all kinds of awesome -although as a former bartender I also know how hard the girls are working and this just makes me feel exhausted. I remember those endless busy nights, pasting on a flirty smile and going home with the sunrise all too well.Anyways, I enjoyed Violet (Piper Perabo) here, especially the relationship she has with her dad (John Goodman) The romance angle is kinda meh as is the whole (inherited) struggle to become a songwriter with stage fright in NY. Still it's one of those guilty pleasure movies people don't admit to watching and enjoying. 12.30.13

Coyote Ugly, released in the year 2000 is still to this day a favoured film. It's a 12 rated romantic comedy/drama based on the existing Coyote Ugly Saloon, which stands in New York just as this film is set in. The running time is 100 minutes. It's directed by David McNally, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman, written by Gina Wendkos and stars Adam Garcia, Maria Bello, Izabella Miko, Tyra Banks and John Goodman.New Jersey girl Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) leaves her hometown, her father Bill (John Goodman), and best friend Gloria (Melanie Lynskey) to live up to her ambition of becoming a songwriter in New York City. Whilst everything was going wrong, Violet results in visiting an all-night diner and notices three girls, Cammie (Izabella Miko), Rachel (Bridget Moynahan), and Zoe (Tyra Banks), flaunting the hundreds of dollars in tips they earned. She then finds out that they work at a trendy bar named Coyote Ugly. She decides to find the bar and convince the bar owner Lil (Maria Bello) to give her a shot at it. Whilst in the process of trying to please Lil, Violet ends up getting cosy with Kevin O'Donnell (Adam Garcia). Kevin commits himself to helping Violet overcome her stage fright so that she can sell her music.She then feels that she can proceed to pursue her dream, and performs at an open mic night at the Bowery Ballroom with the Coyotes, her father, her best friend, and Kevin all there for moral support. The performance goes exceptionally well and she finally lands a deal with a record label.I believe that this film can be loved by millions of people, and that it will never get old. Not only is it a brilliant film, it can show people that as long as you appreciate the support you have and believe in yourself, you can conquer anything,

Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) is an aspiring songwriter from small town New Jersey. She leaves her pizza joint waitress job, her father, and her best friend to pursue her dreams in NYC. Only the big bad city is getting the best of her. Down to her last few dollars, she tries out for a surprising job at a bar called Coyote Ugly.First, I don't know why she has to move to NYC to pursue her dreams as a songwriter. I would think New Jersey is close enough to get rejected by the music industry, and she could do a week or two. But as a songwriter, why does she have to stay there? I think it would be better if she's an actress.Then the rejections are so silly and ham fisted. It had me rolling my eyes, and hating the first act. By the time she gets to the bar, I couldn't really stand the movie. Maria Bello plays the bar owner. Izabella Miko, Tyra Banks, and Bridget Moynahan play the dancers. Other than watching some hot actresses dancing suggestively, there isn't much in this movie.

OK. I know it's definitely not the best film ever made, but it's my favourite one. I watched it when I was 11, and I couldn't resist on its magic. My sister owned the OST, and there were many times per month I used to listen to it. Anyway, I think that the whole story of a girl coming to the big city, full of dreams and no money and finally makes it, is totally motivating. I suppose many guys will think I'm stupid loving a chick-flick, but keep in mind that it's also about a bar full of bartenders singing, dancing and... showing what they've got!!! But, it was also a great film. I've watched it more than 15 times ( I stopped counting four years ago), and I gather it's gonna be the movie I'll be watching in future... If you haven't watched it, run and rent a DVD or blu-ray disc of it... A night full of joy is guaranteed.
