Let’s start with some fun facts about this leather pants-clad, early 2000s blockbuster. Some of which I just found out while researching.
Piper Perabo did sing in the movie, but then they dubbed over her voice. I’ve heard different things regarding this; that her voice was too similar to LeAnn Rimes so they changed it, that LeAnn Rimes did Piper’s singing parts as well.
Kevin Smith did some writing work on this, uncredited.
They had to change the set after the first rehearsal because Tyra Banks and Bridget Moynahan were too tall to stand on the bar.
Coyote Ugly is based on a real bar in NYC (which I saw when I did the Sex and the City tour!) and writer Elizabeth Gilbert used to work there. She wrote an article about it, which is apparently what the film is inspired by, but there doesn’t seem to be any mention of this in the credits.
The term coyote ugly refers to having a one night stand and waking up to realise the person you slept with is so unattractive that you’d rather gnaw your arm off and sneak out than talk to them. Nice.
When I was 14 I had a Coyote Ugly themed birthday party. What does this mean, you may ask? Well, I don’t know. Me and my friends wore tight pants and cute tops and hung out at my house, essentially. Let’s file that under things that if someone told me happened today I’d be horrified.
Violet is working her last shift at a pizza place in New Jersey. She settles an argument between two guys about how many pizzas they ate for the record. Her boss makes her sign an autograph to put on the wall, which is full of autographs of girls who left and never made it. Does everyone who works at this pizza place want to be famous? Well, apparently none of them are now, so good luck Violet!
Violet’s friends, including Melanie Lynskey (who was told she was too fat in this role and they wanted her to lose weight, which, big surprise for that era, but infuriating looking back) are throwing her a farewell party. They drag her up on stage and make her do karaoke. Everyone in the place is having THE BEST TIME EVER, which is not a reaction to karaoke that I’ve ever seen.
Please note that all this hoopla is for someone who is moving a 40 MINUTE DRIVE AWAY.
Violet makes breakfast for her dad, John Goodman. He doesn’t want her to move to New York because she’ll get MURDERED. He reads her some headlines from the newspaper to scare her, but it doesn’t work, she’s set on going.
Violet serves him his egg whites while lecturing him about sticking to his diet. She spouts off instructions like a parent leaving their child alone for the weekend, here’s your vitamins, I’ve put new batteries in the remote, don’t do laundry. She says she’s coming back every Sunday to do his laundry. Girl.
Violet tells her dad that he told her she could be whatever she wants to be, and she doesn’t want to leave without his support. He’s like yes, you can be anything except a songwriter in New York, that’s the exception. He tells her how hard it was when her mum didn’t make it, but he’ll shut up.
Melanie Lynskey shows up, chugging a bottle of Pepto-Bismol. John Goodman comes out and says good luck. Ah, there ya go, wasn’t so hard was it? Violet gives him a big hug and heads off on her big adventure.
Did she really have to move to New York? If she wants to, like go for it, but if she’s trying to be a songwriter can she not do that from Jersey?
Violet arrives at her filthy new apartment. A guy throws a bucket of fish heads into the street. WELCOME TO NEW YORK.
Melanie Lynskey gives Violet a WAD OF CASH. It’s her emergency money she was saving, bless. Violet won’t take it but Melanie Lynskey puts it in the freezer.
“I’m freezing your assets”
Melanie Lynskey cries as she says goodbye. She thought Violet would stay in Jersey and get married like her, but Violet’s actually living her dream, and she’s very proud.
Violet starts playing her keyboard but her neighbour nearly knocks the wall down and tells her to be quiet, so she takes her keyboard to the roof.
Violet goes around town with her little cassette tape, trying to get someone to hear her music. The first assistant she meets, Wendy, is not loving life. Her daughter just told her she is A BISEXUAL, and Violet wants her to help make her dreams come true? Hell no.
Again, this is something you could’ve done while living in New Jersey.
Violet goes to a club and asks the bartender if there’s someone she could talk to about her songs. Yes, that’s how it works.
A cute guy comes in, schmoozing with people in the crowd. Violet asks the bartender about him. He tells her that’s Mr. O’Donnell, he’s the music manager in charge of booking musical acts.
HE SURE ISN’T. He heads out back and starts working the grill. The guy who was covering for him scolds him for being late:
“This isn’t Australia!”
Adam Garcia is Australian and is using his own accent, so ya gotta mention it. Otherwise it will confuse the audience!
Violet accosts Mr. O’Donnell as he bursts out of the doors with the other staff. How long has she been waiting there?
He looks confused as she tells him that he must know all the bands, being the manager and all. The bartender gives him a look that says you’re welcome. O’Donnell plays along and tells the others he’ll catch up.
UH OH, SPRUNG. The actual manager/owner comes out shaking an apron. He TOLD O’Donnell to take his stuff home and wash it. O’Donnell tries to continue his ruse but it’s too late.
He asks Violet if they can start over, he says his name is Kevin and he works the grill. She is mortified and leaves.
Kevin decides to follow her home, which is sweet and adorable because it’s 2000 and it’s charming when cute guys don’t take no for an answer.
She stands her ground and he eventually backs off.
Violet continues her mission to get somebody, ANYBODY to listen to her tape. The guy at William Morris is very busy taking a million phone calls, so she UNPLUGS HIS PHONE. I don’t think that’s going to win you any favours. He tells her to get heard at an open mic night, like everybody else.
Violet takes his advice and heads to an open mic night. A guy in the audience is heckling and she gets scared and runs off.
Violet arrives home to find her apartment has been trashed. This feels personal, everything she owns is broken on the floor. Like, it’s bad enough to rob her, did you have to break all her stuff? They even took her freezer cash!
Violet is moping at a diner, when the server takes pity on her and gives her free pie.
Over at one of the tables three girls; Tyra Banks, Bridget Moynahan (aka Natasha from Sex and the City), and a blonde girl, are taking bets on what the Playboy centrefold says her favourite movie is.
Violet asks diner guy is they’re hookers, to which he replies no, they’re coyotes, and gives her a matchbook from Coyote Ugly.
Violet’s eyes widen as she watches the coyotes flash their cash. They each made $300 tonight. Tyra is leaving to become a lawyer, so I guess that means Coyote Ugly needs a new coyote. Hmm, who will it be?
Violet heads over to Coyote Ugly where she meets the owner, Lil. She can tell Violet is from a small town, and checks her arms for traces of drug use. No track marks here, just a scar from a pizza oven.
Violet asks if she’s really the owner, because she’s had a rough couple of days and doesn’t need this if she’s just a waitress on a power trip. Lil likes her sass and says she can start Friday night at 11. It’s not a job, just an audition. Violet asks why she’s hiring her and Lil says it’s because men have two year old children in their pants and Violet looks like a kindergarten teacher. Gross.
Violet turns up to the bar on Friday night. The bouncer tells her it’s quiet now but it’ll get busy later, meanwhile it is absolutely PACKED.
The girls are dancing on the bar, pouring liquor and lighting the bar on fire. Violet goes to nope the fuck out of there but runs into Lil. Not getting away that easy.
The girls grab a man and pull him back onto the bar, drowning him with alcohol. I bet the drinks at this place are expensive af, the way they’re wasting booze.
Lil tells Violet that she loves her top, then rips the sleeves and the bottom right off.
Lil points out Rachel, and says Violet could learn a lot from her.
“She just cut some guy’s ponytail off”
Lil says that Rachel was ordered to take anger management classes for beating up a guy who grabbed her ass, and she gave her a raise.
Lil says there are two rules.
Don’t talk about Coyote Ugly
Lol no. The rules are don’t date the customers, and don’t bring your boyfriends.
Lil whips out her megaphone and introduces Violet as ‘Jersey’, an ex-kindergarten teacher/nun.
A guy orders a margarita, but Lil says they only have Johnny, Jack, or Jose, all her favourite men, and you can only have it in a shot glass.
Responsible Serving of Alcohol, anyone?
Cammie, the blonde, introduces herself to Violet as the ‘Russian tease’. She says Rachel (Bridget Moynahan) is the ‘New York bitch’.
Violet serves a guy who tells her to pour herself a shot too. She begins telling him the tale of why she doesn’t drink tequila but quickly learns that is NOT ALLOWED. She takes the shot.
A guy rapid fire spouts his order at Violet, causing Rachel to say that she can’t keep up. She started like five minutes ago, and has clearly never worked in a bar before, give her a second.
The next guy orders scotch and water, BUT THERE IS NO WATER ALLOWED. That definitely sounds illegal.
“Hell no, H20!”
the crowd screams as Rachel douses them with water.
The girls all get up on the bar and start doing some kind of line dance. Lil tells Violet to get up there. Violet says she can’t do that dance, so Lil shoves her jacket at her, gives her some cash and tells her to get out of here.
Violet has failed her audition.
On her way out she breaks up a fight between two guys. Lil is impressed and says she’ll give her a second audition. She tells her to go to some shop tomorrow and her fashion coordinator will meet her there.
The girls have pulled some customers up on the bar and they’re all doing a beautifully in sync line dance.
Violet calls her dad and tells him she’s working in just a NORMAL bar, nothing to see here. He is enjoying a bucket of KFC, but he tells Violet it’s a Lean Cuisine. So I guess you’re both liars.
He asks how the songwriting is going. She’s like oh yeah, songwriting, I forgot about that already. She realises that Kevin still has her tape.
Does she only have one tape? Didn’t she go to William Morris after she saw him? Also, make more than one tape?
Violet gets her tape from Kevin. He listened to it and he liked her songs. He wants to see her again so she tells him she’s a coyote and if he really wants to see her he’ll figure out what that means.
Cammie meets Violet at the clothes shop where they do a montage of sexy outfits.
Some guy grabs Rachel’s leg while she’s on the bar so she dumps a bucket of ice on his head.
Cammie teaches Violet her trick of spitting the shots that guys buy her into a beer bottle. So much wasted alcohol in this bar.
Rachel tells Violet to serve a guy at the bar but he wants water so Violet gets out the megaphone, and sprays him with water. Uh oh, THAT WAS THE FIRE MARSHAL.
Violet is sulking in the bathroom, which looks like it is the birthplace of every single STD, when Cammie comes in. She tells Violet that there’s a cute guy asking for her at the bar.
Lil tells Violet that the fire marshal is giving her a $250 fine, and Violet has to work out a way to make that tonight. Well that’s unfair, how was she to know that guy was the fire marshal?
Violet tells Kevin her woes and he gives her $9 to start her off but she tells him she doesn’t want his money.
It’s payback time, Kevin. Violet gets out the megaphone and starts auctioning off a night with Kevin.
Many very horny women start bidding as Kevin struts his stuff on the bar.

SOLD for $250! Violet gets to keep her job another day.
We really loved to auction off dates with people in the 2000s, didn’t we?
The gals are closing up the bar. Violet is singing along with the music. Lil kicks out a couple of drunk girls, after explaining to them what the term ‘coyote ugly’ means.
Violet takes her wad of cash and heads out to find Kevin waiting for her.
Kevin tells her that the woman who ‘won’ him is named Sandy Rosenthal. She is a divorced mum of three kids, loves short haired hunting dogs, Van Gogh and Italian opera. WHAT A HORRIBLE TIME YOU MUST HAVE HAD. Now he thinks Violet owes him a favour. Which, I’m sorry, no, you lied to her about being a music manager, this was your payback, you don’t get a favour.
He says it’s 3am, he wants what every man wants…BREAKFAST. Haha, good one Kevin.
Violet assumes that if she takes him to breakfast they’ll be even, but he says NO, I DANCED ON A BAR AND TOOK OFF MY PANTS. That sounds like a choice you made, Kevin.
They negotiate how many meals he requires to be even, he wants breakfast, lunch and two dinners. Violet says that’s FOUR dates, and Kevin says it will be the second longest relationship he’s ever had. That’s…not a flex.
Kevin has put a wheel clamp on his own tyre, which he takes off and puts in the car.
“It’s hard to find parking in New York”
Okay, that’s pretty smart.
Kevin takes Violet to a Turkish place, where the guy behind the counter gives him a suspicious brown bag. Violet gets ready to run, but it’s just a Spiderman comic.
They lay on the hood of Kevin’s car and look at a bridge. Violet tells him that she freezes when she tries to sing in front of people. She opens up and tells him about how she felt hearing her mum sing.
She says that the only place she feels comfortable singing is in the shower, and he offers to help with her stage fright:
“I don’t care how long it takes, how many hours we have to spend in that shower, let’s get to it”
She’s like I DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU. She asks him TWO very basic questions; where in Australia he’s from, and if he has family in New York, and he’s like do you always ask so many questions?
Why so mysterious, KEVIN.
Then he drags her along to a fish market so she can help him unload fish. Fun. At least he’s going to split the money with her.
He drops her home and she tells him he stinks. He says he was going to kiss her goodbye but she also stinks.
She is getting ready to have a shower when a cat meows at her. WHEN DID SHE GET A CAT?? She pulls her wad of cash out of her pocket and is like ‘Spend it", then goes to leave. You’re going on a spending spree smelling like fish? Also aren’t you EXHAUSTED?
She pulls open the door and oh look, it’s Kevin.
He changed his mind about kissing her. He kisses her and then tells her to have a nice day.
It must be Fleet Week, because the bar is full of sailors. Rachel and Cammie are shaking their stuff on the bar while Violet frantically serves drinks.
Uh oh, the cops are here!
The bar is over capacity. Some guy tries to climb over the bar and Rachel pushes him back into the crowd. A guy with a big camera is taking photos. The bouncer stops him but he says he’s a reporter for the Voice.
Cammie gets pulled into the swarm for some non-consensual crowd surfing. Fights are starting to break out, it is absolute chaos.
Violet throws a bucket of ice onto the crowd, which does nothing. Lil implores her to do something, so Violet picks up the microphone that is conveniently laying nearby and starts singing along to One Way or Another by Blondie.
Gradually the chaos dies down as people start noticing her. The reporter is taking more photos. The police leave.
After all the customers leave, the others congratulate Violet on stopping the riot. Except Rachel, who is not impressed, what’s new.
Violet calls Kevin from a payphone, telling him there’s an emergency. She goes to his place, high on her performance. She kisses him and tells him to have a nice day.
Violet is jamming on her rooftop when she sees a guy breakdancing in his apartment across the street. This inspires her to give her song the hip hop edge it needs. Is it really a 2000s movie with a musician/dancer if someone doesn’t get inspired by hip hop? Looking at you, Save the Last Dance.
Kevin drags a blindfolded Violet to a place that may be a junkyard, a comic book shop, or his apartment. He has set up a keyboard in front of an audience of cardboard cutouts. HE IS GOING TO CURE HER STAGE FRIGHT.
He asks her what it feels like and she explains, while taking off her clothes. She wants to make him nervous so he understands what it’s like. I’m not sure if she’s making him nervous, probably just horny, but go on.
After the sex, Violet sits at the keyboard. Kevin gets up to join her. They are each wrapped in a sheet, which makes sense because all men have two sheets on their beds.
Kevin notices Violet’s guitar, she tells him it belonged to her mum who died five years ago. She also moved to New York to become a singer when she was young, but was also scared of the stage.
Kevin asks what he has to do to hear her sing, and Violet says ‘Disappear’. So he turns all the lights off.
It’s not that dark, and she’s looking right at him, but she sings.
MONTAGE TIME!
Violet learns how to flip liquor bottles like she’s in Cocktail. She buys a Mac laptop, one of those really cool coloured ones. I wanted one of those so bad.

She sends off a bunch of her cassette tapes, and kisses Kevin in the street. She also plays baseball with the coyotes, where Cammie takes her top off and plays in her bra because of course she does.
Violet is finally finding her feet in New York, go girl!
Violet goes to see her dad working at the toll booth. She brings him a turkey sandwich, which he is very excited about because he’s hungry and has definitely not just been eating McDonald’s.
He asks her whose car she was driving, it looks like A BOY’S CAR. He knows cars, he’s been looking at them for sixteen years. She says he’s just a friend, and dashes off. That’s a bit of a trip just to say hi for one minute, but okay.
Kevin tells Violet that he got her a gig. She’s like mate, I can’t, stage fright, remember? He’s like PFFT, I’LL CURE YOU. She says it’s genetic, and he says if she doesn’t try he’ll never kiss her again. Emotional manipulation, cool.
Rachel is blowing fireballs at the bar (someone get the fire marshal back here, stat), and look who stopped by for a visit, it’s Zoe aka Tyra Banks.
John Goodman asks the bouncer if Violet works here. He tells him she’s on the bar. Yeah, literally, lol.
The girls start pouring jugs of water over each other, and Violet’s dad walks in at the worst possible time. He looks like he is about to spontaneously combust.
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_720,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F61170de6-56d1-4a41-bbda-49d9e700ab82_640x427.jpeg)

Violet sees him and is horrified. She follows after him and tries to explain that it’s not as bad as it looks. He holds up a newspaper with a photo of her. Apparently guys are putting the picture up in their toll booths, awkward.
Violet leaves a message on her dad’s answering machine. She tells him he can’t be mad forever, she has to come over and do his laundry. Honestly, ridiculous, learn to wash a shirt, John.
Everyone is taking off their bras at Coyote Ugly tonight. Don’t ask me why. Johnny Knoxville is in the crowd.
Violet reminds Lil that she can only stay until 10.30, but when it gets to 10.30 Lil says it’s too busy and she can’t go. Violet rings Kevin to tell him the news.
Fun fact: Unwritten Law are the band playing in the background at the club.
The guy at the club is MAD. He has a whole spot to fill, KEVIN. I have no doubt that you could find someone to sing in New York, there’s probably at least ten people you could call.
For some reason, Kevin has to give this guy his Spiderman comic? What kind of a deal was this? Ohh, maybe that was the payment for Violet’s spot, and he had to pay even though she didn’t show. That’s rough.
Violet is singing and dancing with Cammie on the bar when some guy, Zach, gets up on the bar and starts getting fresh with Violet. She doesn’t look too concerned and gently tells him he’s not supposed to be up here. THEN HERE COMES KEVIN. He starts a fight, while Violet yells at him to stop. She tells him Zach is a regular who was just having fun.
“With my girlfriend!”
Um, excuse me sir, did you even make it official?
Lil is mad. Uh oh, Violet broke THE RULE.
Violet and Kevin get into a big fight. She tells him to stop pushing her. He has a dig at her job, about her shaking her stuff and crawling on the bar. He breaks and tells her he had no home or family, that’s why he doesn’t talk about himself.
Lil kicks Violet out, coz thems the rules.
Not a good night for Violet. She sadly looks at a photo of her mum, then plays a sad song on the roof.
On the train on the way to Melanie Lynskey’s wedding she looks longingly at a couple kissing. THAT COULD BE ME AND KEVIN, if he wasn’t such a dick.
Melanie Lynskey makes Violet and John Goodman dance so she can get a photo. He tells Violet that if she needed money he would’ve helped her. She tells him that he can’t even look after himself, he’s not even wearing socks!
She thinks he was upset because she moved out, but he says it’s because he was ashamed of her for the first time. Ouch.
Violet arrives home to Kevin leaving her an answering machine message. She gets inside and picks up the phone but she’s just missed him. Life was tough before mobile phones, you guys.
The phone rings again, but this time it’s a medical centre, Violet’s dad is in hospital. I guess she’s gunna have to turn around and hoof it back to New Jersey.
John Goodman’s had surgery, he has a broken leg from being hit by a car. Melanie Lynskey appears, still in her wedding dress. Get you a friend that will prioritise you over a guy she’s been married to for a few hours. That’s love, baby.
Violet and her dad make up. Your daughter dancing on a bar doesn’t seem so bad once you’ve almost died.
Violet arrives home to find a huge box full of her tapes. They are all stamped ‘unsolicited mail’.
She conjures up the courage to call Kevin then changes her mind and goes over there. Unfortunately she sees him showing a girl into his apartment.
Violet tells her dad that she’s moving back home, she couldn’t do it, she can’t sing her songs.
John Goodman tells Violet that her mum didn’t quit because she couldn’t do it, she quit because of him. He didn’t encourage her. He will NOT let Violet quit, he doesn’t care how many bars she has to stand on.
She hugs him and asks if he’s wearing cologne. He says the nurse gave it to him as a gift and asked him out on a date. He says he better buy some socks. God, did he ruin all his socks in the dryer?
Looks like Violet found a job in a diner. Lil comes in and asks if she can sit. Violet asks if she has a reservation and Lil says yes, it’s under:
“Cast iron heartless bitch”
Lil says she was sorry to hear about Violet’s dad. She says Violet can come back to the bar whenever she wants.
Violet returns home to her cat and a message. She got a gig!
Turns out Kevin is sub-leasing his apartment to that girl, she wasn’t a hook up. He’s moving to Chicago for some reason.
The Coyotes make a sign for the door, they’re closing early for the first time ever, to see Violet sing.
Lil calls Kevin and tells him to look in the paper. Violet’s name is in there! Melanie Lynskey is going to get it framed.
John Goodman’s bringing four rolls of film. He gets the toll booth guys to flash their lights when they go through.
Violet freaks out and turns the car around, almost giving poor John Goodman a heart attack. HE WAS JUST IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
He and Melanie Lynskey give her a pep talk. He bought Violet’s autograph from the pizza shop for twenty bucks, COZ HE BELIEVES IN HER. That gives her the courage to turn back around.
The coyotes turn up at the club. Rachel’s only here to SEE HER FAIL. Thanks Rachel.
John Goodman stands by the front of the stage with his shitty camera. The music starts but Violet doesn’t. She starts to walk off stage but then the lights go out. Keviiiin.
She starts singing and then the lights come back on, but she isn’t deterred.
A guy starts heckling but Rachel punches him. She may not be verbally supportive, but she’s good to have around.
LeAnn Rimes is having her album release party at Coyote Ugly. She’s recorded Violet’s song.
John Goodman and his nurse girlfriend are there. Violet presents Kevin with the Spiderman comic that she cost him.
A new girl is behind the bar, clumsily dropping things. Rachel tells Lil that her new girl’s not going to make it, and smiles at Violet. Ah, the circle of life.
Violet decides to hold another auction. Kevin looks nervous, but it’s John Goodman’s turn!
He gets up on the bar and Violet starts taking bids. Alex Borstein is the keen first bidder. He dances with the girls, and gets his girlfriend to make the winning bid.
“Hey! I’m a coyote!”
He howls.
Violet asks Kevin what he does when all his dreams come true.
They kiss.
Credits.
I came across this photo:
Did I completely miss this? Did Violet bring a cat from New Jersey? Surely that’s a deleted storyline. Yes, I am very focused on the origins of this mysterious cat.
Okay, so, verdict!
Does this movie hold up? Does any movie from the early 2000s hold up? Yes and no. There are parts that definitely wouldn’t fly today under a modern lens, but it is a fun watch.
Does it feel dated? In parts. All the pay phones and answering machine messages. Today, Violet would be trying to get her songs heard on Tik Tok or something, rather than dragging cassettes around the city. Language-wise it isn’t too bad, except for Violet asking if the coyotes are hookers. Behaviour-wise, Violet wouldn’t accept being shamed for dancing on a bar these days. I think there would be stricter regulations on the drinks.
New York representation: Realistic! Violet’s apartment is gross and is not safe. We’re definitely not in Carrie Bradshaw land. Also, Kevin and his many jobs. He’s right, NYC is expensive! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Cameos: It was fun seeing all the cameos that I didn’t know about or had forgotten about. Alex Borstein, Johnny Knoxville, Natasha from SATC.
Remakes: Have they? Should they? Well, I am always pretty negative about remakes, so I say no, but for the last few years there has been talks to do a sequel. Tyra Banks and Piper Perabo have spoken a bit about it. Apparently nothing is official yet, but it still might happen. It’d be interesting to see what they’d do with it to modernise the concept. There was also a reality show, to find coyotes for the real life bar, which ran from 2006-2008.
