Coyote Ugly

Pros: acting was ok, plot was decent
Cons: Previews were misleading, slow paced movie

My best friend and I were stoked to go and see this movie. It looked like it was going to be a fun and upbeat movie... But that is when you see the previews. This movie makes you think (or at least I thought) total guy movie but so was American Pie and...

Pros: The title
Cons: The title

It was September 2000, and it was getting colder. Leaves were falling from the trees and it the sunset was a lot earlier than it was it the summer. It's at these times of the year you can feel a little bit depressed. I mean, the summer here...

Pros: A little toned-down T&A for dad and brother
Cons: Uber-lame chick drama for mom and sis

When you see Jerry Bruckheimer’s name attached to a film, it’s kind of like seeing a can with the Chef Boyardee logo. You know there’s no chance in hell it will be quality, but sometimes you’re in the mood for it anyway. And, you never know, when heated...

Pros: The scenes that took place in the bar...
Cons: All the other scenes.

I'm going to start with a pre-emptive strike. Before you say "Bittermiss, with your increasingly bizarre taste in movies and literature, what made you go see this movie anyway?" Let me justify. I work in advertising, and sometimes I get free...

Pros: Some funny moments; sexy cast; not nearly as bad as it could've been.
Cons: Very predictable, cliche, unoriginal, unbelievable story.

There's been so many movies about dreamers who have to face reality and can't deal with it. "Coyote Ugly" is kind of the opposite - the heroine shoots for the stars and makes it without trying very hard. Original idea, but the story's execution is not. ...

Pros: Cute chicks strutting their stuff. Gotta love chicks with attitudes
Cons: Predictable. Not as advertised by previews.

My wife (RCarte2000) and I just watched the movie "Coyote Ugly" last night. Just telling you this so you could prepare for her review of it as well. I am sure you'll find that we agree on some things and we disagree on some things concerning this...

Pros: Great moves, groves, and songs!
Cons: Formula story!

Coyote Ugly is not exactly a good movie, but it's not exactly bad either. Expecting to be no more than it is expected to be, it's not too bad at all. Coyote Ugly is a strange mixture of MTV gone Flashdance. It's a sort of twist on...

Pros: Attractive people.
Cons: Horrible and simplistic filmmaking in every regard.

Mass-market moviemaking, by its very nature, wants to have its cake and eat it, too. It desires to appease our deepest lusts while also tapping into our better angels. As a result, many films romanticize reality, very often to excess. That’s not a bad...

Pros: Soundtrack, Characters, Plot
Cons: None

The title of my review pretty much says it. From the commercials for Coyote Ugly, one would pretty much have thought that it was just an excuse to show off some very attractive women doing some pretty outrageous things to guys, while wearing some...

Pros: Great Bar Scenes---I need a shot of JD!
Cons: Tired plot, lack of energy outside the bar

I expected "Coyote Ugly" to be fluff on the level of "Cocktail". After seeing the trailers and hearing that the movie was based on a GQ article on the real bar, Coyote Ugly, I thought that it might have merit, but I definitely had my...

Pros: scantily clad girls dancing on the bar
Cons: cliche-ridden plot, by-the-books directing, silly dialogue, inept acting

Adding a new finale, a flashy musical number at the hip, rowdy bar where the exhibitionistic young women work, caused this Jerry Bruckheimer film to almost miss its August 4th opening date. And - who knows? - perhaps it was the only fitting...

Pros: Music Isn't Bad Really, and there are some funny scenes. John Goodman Dancing
Cons: Success story proving that hard work, talent and education are no match for sex appeal

You must be in just the right mood to watch this movie, and I will never be in that mood. The plot is impossible, and unlikely on a good day, the acting is mediocre, but I reluctantly admit that it WAS entertaining at times. The best part of this flick...

Pros: Pretty girls, especially Perabo; great soundtrack
Cons: Substandard, bland, formulaic plot similar to typical teenage, romantic films.

In true Jerry Bruckheimer style, Coyote Ugly does enough to get you to part with your money - luring audiences with print ads and billboards of gorgeous, pouting sirens - but doesn't reward you for showing up. You would be forgiven for thinking there...

Pros: Carefree, somewhat amusing, energetic, requires little brain activity.
Cons: Boring, cheesy, mildly insulting, largely unintelligent.

I am not really sure what possessed me to watch this movie. It was obvious even before I made this rather pronounced error that I was not going to enjoy it much; I suppose you could say it was slightly better than I expected, but then - I was...

Pros: Lots of laughs.
Cons: Not all are intentional--inept writing, directing, acting, etc.

To give credit where credit is due, the team over at Disney sure knew how to market Coyote Ugly. Five women wearing the best "do me" expressions they could get away with on a PG-13 ad pout seductively on the poster, huddled up very...
