It all boils down to a 12-certificate teenage magazine romance set in what amounts to a nudie bar where there's no actual nudity. Both the men in the heroine's life seriously question whether writhing suggestively for drunken lechers is an empowering activity for an independent girl but since that's more or less the film's strongest visual effect the script has to come down on the side of the girls--if not the customers. The supporting babes--Russian blonde Cammie (Izabella Miko), ferocious brunette Rachel (Bridget Moynahan) and upwardly-mobile Zoe (Tyra Banks)--gyrate and model Spice Girls cast-off gear, but make less of an impression than Melanie Lynskey (the "other one" from Heavenly Creatures) as the devoted, slightly dumpy best friend back home. Like most Jerry Bruckheimer products, it's slickly put-together, at once exciting and predictable, cut like a commercial or a pop promo, directed by a non-entity (David McNally), fantastical yet blue-collar "real" and self-destructs in the mind after viewing. --Kim Newman
On the DVD: The disc is jammed with special features and bonus material: "Search for the Stars" outlines the quest to find the young cast members; "Inside the Song" offers an analysis of the tunes, a voiceover by LeAnn Rimes and the thoughts of songwriter Diana Warren; "Coyote 101"describes the ins and outs of the bar itself, from the drink mixes to the dancers; while "Action Overload" simply shows full-force action sequences from the film. The disc also contains four deleted scenes, the LeAnn Rimes music video, "Can't fight the Moonlight", the theatrical trailer and an energetic commentary by the Coyotes themselves, Tara Banks, Maria Bello, Izabella Miko, Bridget Moynahan and Piper Perbo. Although the disc certainly doesn't scrimp on the special features front, each one tends to be fairly short and uninformative, lacking detail. The DVD itself gives the visual and audio excellence you would expect from a recent Hollywood blockbuster with a 5.1 audio ratio and crisp widescreen format of 2.35:1. --Nikki Disney

I wish I worked in this bar...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coyote Ugly [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
This film is a must-see. With gorgeous women for the lads, and an upbeat girl-power can-do message for the girls, you cannot fail to enjoy this movie.A pumping soundtrack and brilliant choreography make you want to start dancing on the Coyote Ugly bar with the stars. Unknown Piper Perabo is obviously destined for great things (think younger Sarah Jessica Parker) and Adam Garcia is well sexy as the prime australian rib she auctions off. Tyra Banks makes an appearance and Maria Bello gets her arguably most important role to date. The message behind this movie goes something like: "life may suck at times, but it can be fun if it sucks with the right people". This is the film for all the underpaid, under-appreciated gophers of society. We do what we have to to get by and Coyote Ugly shows that all of us can make it. Anyhow, with all the extras on the dvd (outtakes, documentaries, character/actor profiles) this has got to be in your collection, for girlie or guy nights in: either way you won't forget it.

Probably the best groove you will have this year,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coyote Ugly [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
I hired this film recently thinking it would be ideal for a night in on my own. However, even my husband enjoyed it!!! I'm now ordering it to watch again (frequently). This movie really gets you in the mood for a wild night out.Basically this is a love story, about a small town girl trying to make it in the music industry. Set in a New York Bar (the bar is amazing and all men will enjoy the bar maids), the small town girl meets boy, falls out with boy, falls out with family and friends, does some soul searching and when she finally sees sense she makes good. A feel good movie with a brilliant soudtrack, (also available). Buy it, watch it and groove on down to your local for a bit of bootie shaking on the bar. And what ever you do don't ask for water!!?

Fantastic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coyote Ugly [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
I thought that this film was brilliant because it has excellent soundtracks on it and I also thought that it kept you going throughout the film that you could never be too sure on what was happening next.I thought that it was so good that I ended up going to see it in the cinema three times and renting it out on video a number of times.
