Coyote Ugly Reviews
Some sort of achievement in the ongoing oeuvre of Jerry Bruckheimer, Coyote Ugly is distastefully irresistible, a product that delivers more or less what it promises.

Sexist, shallow and silly. Teens+.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010
It could be argued that the constant stream of self-mocking touches makes for a less manipulative experience... though it's doubtful whether anyone familiar with producer Bruckheimer's record would consider him a misunderstood satirist.

I suggest a few stiff drinks and a suspension of disbelief, and this frothy little number will go down just fine.

The kind of excrescence that makes you wonder if the Taliban, the French and all the other foreigners who whine about the awfulness of Hollywood "product" might actually have a point.

More stuff and nonsense about making it in the Big Apple (seem slightly familiar?), Coyote Ugly rings to the sound of a desperate writer sweating to find a new spin on a clapped-out clich.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Coyote Ugly is so filled with movie cliches and focus-group-tested ideas that it's hard to believe it happened any other way.

A talented young cast in service of a project that's every bit as shrewd as it is shrill and silly.

A shameless but very watchable piece of youthful romantic fantasy.

It looks like a big-budget version of a Miller's Genuine Draft commercial.

Does Jerry Bruckheimer have the same nagging feeling of deja vu as he compares each new screenplay to those that have gone before?
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Coyote Ugly may be the most disappointing movie of the summer.

More like Coyote Awful.

Everything about Coyote Ugly is taken from the clich catalog.

A movie that's the 'follow your dream' equivalent of singing karaoke along with a DVD of Flashdance.
