Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Coyote Ugly
This movie was awesome! The 20 something girl Violet (Perabo) is a song writer who wants to be famous. She goes to N.Y City and starts work in a small, wild bar, Coyote Ugly. There she dances on the counter more then making drinks, with 3 other girls. It's a great flick!
--Tanya Schulz, Resident Scholar

Coyote Ugly is about a young girl, Violet Sanchez (Perabo), who travels to New York City from New Jersey. She has stage fright, but wants to be a song writer. She gets a job at a bar and falls in love with Kevin O' Donnel. Of course, at one point all these things collide.
--Susanne , Resident Scholar

Violet moves away from home to a big city to become a songwriter. She gets a job at a hot little bar called Coyote Ugly, bartends, and dances. She finds a guy that she falls in love with (Kevin a.k.a. Mr. O'Donnell) who shows her she doesn't have to be afraid and encourages her to finally sing-something she has been afraid of for many years.
--Deah Michelle Beardslee, Resident Scholar

This movie features beautiful girls, soaked in sweat and booze sometimes of their own wet T shirt Contests, strutting their goods in front of ogling, horny men at a New York hot spot. Beautiful Piper Perabo (Main character) leaves her Central Jersey home, and lovable dad, John Goodman, for a chance to be a songwriter in Manhattan. She follows a path to becoming a Coyote girl, serving Hard Liquor & Beer Chasers and getting wrapped up with Aussie Adam Garcia. They make an unlikely pair he with motivation and no tools and she with the tools and fear of performing..She slowly loosens up and the shyness unravels as the movie moves along, and works toard the goal of performing her wonderfully written songs. She writes these great songs but has no way to get them heard unless she can overcome her fear of performing.
--Ron Bogdan, Resident Scholar
