It's the follow-your-dream equivalent of singing karaoke along with a DVD of Flashdance. Violet (Piper Perabo), an aspiring songwriter, lands a job as a bartender/skimpy-topped showgirl at Coyote Ugly, a down-and-dirty bar in Manhattan's meatpacking district. In essence, the Coyotes are strippers with their clothes on, yet when Violet grabs the mike, we're meant to think that a star is being born. If you believe that, you may just buy the rest of Coyote Ugly, a puffball fantasy that celebrates the brave new world of slut-chic cosmetic feminism.
