As shallow as a shot glass. Read full review

Film.com Tom Keogh

An authentically spirited popcorn movie. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Welcome to the brave new world of slut-chic cosmetic feminism. Read full review

Jay Carr

Such an utter piece of fluff so conceptually barren it might as well be a music video.

Kenneth Turan

A bad movie for connoisseurs of the genre. Read full review

TNT RoughCut Susannah Breslin

Miss Piper single-handedly destroys what could have been a competent little movie about chicks being naughty and getting ahead.

Dallas Observer Robert Wilonsky

Cinematic flat-lining. Read full review

Mostly everyone casts this movie aside until I force them to watch it and than they love it. Jerry Bruckheimer tried to recapture flashdance success and besides making a much better film it also was a hit at the box office. The story is familiar as a small town girl from Sayreville, NJ headsMostly everyone casts this movie aside until I force them to watch it and than they love it. Jerry Bruckheimer tried to recapture flashdance success and besides making a much better film it also was a hit at the box office. The story is familiar as a small town girl from Sayreville, NJ heads to the big apple in hopes of selling her music. Unsuccessful she picks up at a wild bar called Coyote Ugly where the girls are rough, dance on bars and are master bartenders. She also meets a hunky Australian beau. The movie isn't complex but it is emotionally resonant and overly entertaining. So if you're feeling down it's definitely a pick me up. A young Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs), Bridget Moynahan (The Recruit), Maria Bello (Assault on precinct 13), Adam Garcia (Riding in Cars with boys), John Goodman (10 Cloverfield Lane), Izabella Miko (Step up all in), Melanie Lynskey (Heavenly Creatures) and Tyra Banks (Higher Learning) star.

Yes, the film is cheesy, yes, the film is predictable and finally, yes, the movie is cliché.But, it was still an honest entertainment and the acting was surprisingly good.It was not a good movie ,but it was not a bad one either.

The film's interesting. The story behind the bar with musicians who manage to make a living one way or another. Half of the movie is probably covered in booze and bras, but that's how most people see it. There are some lessons to be learned, I take that back... a few lessons here. The film's interesting.

O filme é interessante... e cliché, mas, ainda assim, algumas lições podem ser retiradas. Vale a pena perder uma horinha e um pouco mais a ver este filme, mas não comprem o filme, porque "Coyote Ugly" não é o melhor filme de 2000.

This movie's only redeemable quality was a theme song by Leann Rimes that has since become a guilty pleasure of mine. Otherwise, this movie is a steaming pile of dog **** and a terrible romantic comedy.

I had the misfortune of believing the movie would improve as it neared the end. I was wrong.
