It's amazing how far a movie can go on nothing but speed and directness.
Doesn't display a single deep thought, or even a middlingly profound one.

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 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.

Welcome to the brave new world of slut-chic cosmetic feminism.
Such an utter piece of fluff so conceptually barren it might as well be a music video.
There's no limit to Coyote Ugly's crass shamelessness.
Miss Piper single-handedly destroys what could have been a competent little movie about chicks being naughty and getting ahead.
Cinematic flat-lining.
"Coyote Ugly" é interessante... e cliché. Mas, ainda assim, algumas lições podem ser retiradas deste filme.
5/10

It's an odd **** try to be 2 movie in one, so it fails at both. When It tries to be a romantic comedy for "**** does It using every outdated stereotype of that genre and bad writings (Young singer that try to live in a big city but end up working a modest job, some crazy but honest besties and an handsome-and-a-little-mischief-but-honest-guy). When It tries to be a movie for boys it also use oversimplified image and **** it fill the screen with beautiful girl that dance, act "wild" and drinks lots of booze.
It is not sexy, it is not funny, it is not romantic, it is not **** just tries to capitalize on an old article from a fashion magazine.. Avoid It like plague.
Boring, plain and ****'s like a bad copy of **** (80's Tom cruise movie)

Coyote Ugly is one of those movies that hides behind its feel good ending. The fact that everyone ends up happy at the end doesn't mean that the film isn't a sexist, overly long, overly shmaltzy piece of terrible cinema. Sure there may be some who consider the film a piece of female empowerment cinema (Zack Snyder probably) but in the real world its just a story about a girl who gets pushed into a corner and uses her 'feminine' ways to get herself out. The romance between Perabo and Garcia is empty as the two have no chemistry and the scripting is terrible. Its beginning to end a terrible film that I advise you to avoid. Unlike **** Punch this piece of female empowerment doesn't have some visually stunning fight scenes to fall back on, just a tepid love story and some uninspired music choices.
