A young waitress from Jersey moves to the big apple to pursue her dreams of becoming a singer/songwriter. Along the way she befriends a fishmonger who helps her on her way, and winds up working the legendary dance bar the film is named after.
It’s a wonder they called it Coyote Ugly, since the bar itself is really only a small portion of the film. “Jersey Girl” would be a better title, though I guess that one’s taken.
The pacing is good, the ladies are hot, and there are some very charming moments between characters, particularly between the main character and her father, played by John Goodman. The fact that all the main character needed to get over was a little stage fright was a bit silly, and the movie wraps up a little to easily, but, it’s a feel-good movie, so that’s to be expected. See it if you want. 3½ Stars
