 | Now, I don't know about you, but when I go to a bar, call me old fashioned, but I like to have a drink. This seemingly out-dated and crazy notion never once crops up in this brainless teen-fodder. Set in a bar, the bunch of yahoo's drinking there every night don't seem to bother that the barmaids NEVER SERVE ANYONE. I like to look at a hot girl as much as anyone (and the girls ARE nice) but ALL they do is dance on top of the bar. That's it. And the baying fools don't seem to mind. Not once do you hear, "so.. uh.. can I get a drink, then?" The place is packed, every night, with really, really sober people. I can't imagine the takings in that place.
And what's with the refusal to serve water? See, this is their idea of "hardcore" and cool, that whenever some square asks for water, you blast that sucker with the water hose. Hil-ari-ous.
Imagine the scene;
Guy: Hi, can I have some water?
Girl: Oh, you heard the man! H-2 - NO!
Girl pulls out water hose.
Guy: But it's for my medication, I need to take thi.. arghh!
Exactly. Oh, the plot? Do you really want to know? Well, some girl moves to the city, wants to become a singer with her collection of really bland songs (just what we need, thanks) which she plays on her roof (in the "poignant" scenes, see?) and then she meets some idiot who she falls in lov... oh, come on, you KNOW what's going to happen already.
But, like my title says, it's perfect for stupid people. Undemanding, happy-ending loving, stupid people. But for anyone with a clue, it's really awful stuff. AND it spawned that horrendous "Can't Fight The Moonlight", to be murdered in every kareoke bar for ever, another reason to hate it.
Don't know what's on this "unrated" edition. Maybe it's of some lucky punter actually getting served.

| Rating | | | Date | July 09, 2005 | | Summary | Coyote Ugly "Extended Cut" Review | Content
| Piper Perabo is an aspiring songwriter who moves to New York City to follow her dreams. Having trouble getting her foot in the door, she ends up working at a wild bar where the female patrons dance around on the bar in wet T-shirts to cheesy cheerleader anthems. John Goodman turns in an enjoyable performance as Perabo's overprotective father. Those expecting an edgier and more adult-oriented version of "Coyote Ugly" with its new "unrated cut" may want to save their money. With the exception of an added sex scene involving Piper Perabo and Adam Garcia (Perabo's nude shots were filmed with a "double"), the movie is still "PG-13" country. It's the same sexually-suggestive but far from edgy content you'll find in the theatrical cut. |

| Imagine that a very rich father is almost nagged to death by his spoiled daughter, who wants to see her marginal screenplay about her adventures in the NY club scene made into a movie. He finally agrees to bankroll the project on the condition that she turns over all actual production decisions to a competent production company. The production group casts a pair of likable actors and get John Goodman to play a supporting role. They target the Britney segment of the Lifetime movie audience with a teen angst/struggling artist story-line. They also go after a large secondary audience-those (of both sexes) who like to watch hot women in tight pants. They have a large enough budget to staff the project with an excellent crew although they skimp on production design, supporting cast talent, and editing. They make a movie called Coyote Ugly and successfully market it to their target audiences. If you are part of their secondary target audience it is best to watch it on DVD so you can avoid any scenes devoid of tight pants.
Problem--Nothing happens. This story is so tired only the worn down father of the screenwriter would dream of making it into a movie, and just on the long shot that his daughter would move out of the house and get a real job once she had a writing credit on her resume. The Olsen twins, credited as someone named Piper Perabo; play Violet, a young songwriter who makes the BIG journey all the way from New Jersey to New York City to realize her dream. Olsen Twin Violet has stage fright but immediately meets the nicest boy in NYC - an Australian (played by Adam Garcia) who collects comic books, thinks he saw her in a television show with Lori Loughlin, works an assortment of entry-level jobs, and still has time to truly care about her. Supermodel Tyra Banks appears on the screen a few times but does not have to act or to play an actual "character".

| Rating | | | Date | June 10, 2005 | | Summary | Not worth the upgrade | Content
| This review is only for the Unrated Special Edition, not for the film itself (which is fun).
This is one case where there was absolutely no need to make a new special edition. The scenes added really add nothing to the story.
For example, one scene added is an R rated love scene between Perabo and Garcia featuring nudity. Totally pointless. Plus, Perabo is obviously using a body double so it feels like it is taken from another film.
This was a rather innocent PG-13 rated film, yet this scene alone makes it R rated and is totally out of place in a film that barely even has a swear word. Parents will not want to buy this version for their kid, while the original version is appropriate for early teens.
The other scenes, such as the baseball scene, don't add anything. The baseball scene was shown in montage form and the new edition bascially just shows it longer. Not really needed.
The rest of the extras are the same as the original version.
So, if you have the previous version, there is really no reason to upgrade. |

| I got my hands on a copy the week before it came out and here are the extra parts that weren't in the initial release...even as bonus deleted scenes. I may have missed some...it has been some time since I have seen the movie.
- Extra solo dance scene with Tyra Banks to the song "Up In Here"
- More outfits and dialogue can be seen in the changing room scene with Violet and Cammy.
- Phone conversation with Violet's dad includes her telling him to hold on while she dresses.
- Sex scene has been upgraded to softcore porn.
- Bra scene on the bar seems to be extended, correct me if I'm wrong
- New baseball scene with Cammy taking her clothes off to distract the opposing team. |
