When I asked a few years ago, to some friends, what their favourite movie was, they always answered: Coyote Ugly. I watched it, and I hated it. What a shitload of fuck

You've gone and committed some major crime. You get locked up. Dark cell. Lights on. In front of you a pool of sewage. Way above you a springboard. On it you see John Goodman. He gets undressed. Totally undressed. He goes on the springboard. He jumps. He lands in the pool. The first wave hits you, and you KNOW that you should have closed your mouth, but you just couldn't pick your jaw up from the floor. Yes, really. That bad.

Hilarious. A movie that sits on the fence so hard it gets splinters right up its ass. I could tell what they were going for: a romantic comedy for the women, and "T&A" for the men. Instead, it's a bland, derivative love story with a PG-13 rating (meaning no boobs, of course). They tried to be everything and ended up making nothing. Well fuck you, movie. You deserved it.

This movie should have been wall-to-wall tits. Take the exact same screenplay, remove all the tops from the dancing scenes, boom! You got yourself a 70 rating, at least.

Literally a film with no redeeming features except that it ends. A steaming turd of mammoth proportions.

Piper Perabo is moderately cute, but it isn't enough to get me to ever watch this film again, unless they include x-rated extras on the dvd or something.

Watching this movie with mute on and your own sound track makes it dramatically better, if the visuals on the cover appeal to you anyway.

Some people like bad movies if they have dancing in them. I don't.

Beyond horrible. I cannot understand why any sane adult would watch this, let alone think it's good. Paul Verhoeven's modern gem, Showgirls, is much more entertaining and it gives more than Coyote Ugly's one and half hours of cocktease.

An icon of bad American movies. Watch if you do not have a brain.

wtf, John Goodman's character? Why are you so scared about your daughter going to the city? You live in New Jersey, not Alabama. I grew up in the next town over... We don't fear NYC. Loathe? sometimes. Fear? Never!

The pieces seem to be in place for a bit of gleefully tacky fun, but unfortunately this ungainly mix of sleaze and sincerity either needed to be a lot better or a lot "worse" to be successful - this is an admittedly watchable (and likable) enough effort which keeps threatening to spark into something fun with the silly bar scenes, before we are dragged back to simpering Perabo's mooning over Garcia. Props to overweight Goodman serving as a Chekov's Gun, though not quite in the way you expect.

Much like Coyote Ugly the bar franchise, COYOTE UGLY the film is largely an excuse for men of all ages (acting upon any combination of loneliness, horniness, and drunkenness) to ogle young, fetching women. The thin veneer of plot about an aspiring singer's attempt to overcome stage fright--stage fright!!--cannot conceal the film's bone-deep creepiness.
