Coyote Ugly: Critic Reviews

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

Its view of women as objectified but unavailable sex toys is so retrograde it would be maddening if the movie weren't such an utter piece of fluff so conceptually barren it might as well be a music video.

All hope is lost.

Everything about Coyote Ugly is taken from the cliche catalog.

It goes down easy, like a wine-cooler shot with a chaser of Yoo-Hoo.

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.

A mangy dog of a movie.

More like Coyote Awful.

An authentically spirited popcorn movie.

Coyote Ugly may be the most disappointing movie of the summer.

When movies are this bad, it's almost hard not to recommend them.

The acting is amateurish, the dialogue is painful to hear and the plot is about as spontaneous as the Republican National Convention.

A shameless but very watchable piece of youthful romantic fantasy.

Sexist, shallow and silly. Teens+.

The cast fleshes out the cliches exuberantly and with little irony, which is something of a relief.

As slick and mindless as one might expect...

There were certain aspects that I loved.... It had to do with hot, sexy women dancing on a bar in a wet T-shirt contest.

What an amazingly bad movie this is.

A movie about a bunch of effortlessly attractive, empty-headed people who manage to constantly have fun at even the most menial of jobs . . . give me some reason to care!

Coyote Ugly is neither bad enough to be a cult film, nor good enough to be interesting.

Gina Wendkos' screenplay manages to make "Flashdance" seem plot-heavy by comparison. ...we see the lovely faces of Perabo, Miko and Moynahan and the swinging hips and stomping feet of three anonymous dance doubles.

Solamente es recomendable ver en uno de esos dias en los que no hay absolutamente nada que hacer. Para dar pena ajena.

turns out to be a duel between the tawdry and the maudlin, and the latter is, unfortunately, victorious.

What talent! What brilliance! What complete, utter bulls**t!

I would probably recommend this movie to anyone who doesn't mind being titillated for little bits and pieces.
