Violet Sanford played by Piper Perabo is an innocent young woman from New Jersey with a dream to go to New York City to follow her dream of becoming a songwriter. The problem is that to get her songs heard, she actually has to sing them herself. Suffering with a psychological fear of stage fright, she finds a spot at a night club but bottles her perfomance after abuse being hurled at her by a shovanistic audience member.
She visits another club and asks for the Music Manager. The barman decides to capitalise on her naivete and have a little fun. He leads her to believe the man who cooks the burgers is the Music Manager. Embarrasingly, she approaches the man and asks him if he can help her achieve her goal and hands him a cassette sample of her song to which the opportunist burger cook, Kevin O'Donnel, played by Australian actor Adam Garcia, accepts in the hope he can get to know her a little better.
Violet finds work at a bar called Coyote Ugly dancing on bars in skimpy outfits with a crew of other girls (The Coyotes) pulling in the punters for owner Lil, played by Mario Bello. She earns a lot of money in tips but her new boyfriend Kevin is upset she works in the bar lusted after by the male punters and wants her to pursue her songwriting dream.
Violet eventually finds herself a slot to sing at a large venue and just when everyone thinks she has stumbled again, she delivers a moving performance and reunites with estranged boyfriend Kevin.
This would be called mainly a woman's movie but is great for comedy and entertainment value.
