Description Aspiring songwriter Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) leaves her home and father (John Goodman) for New York. But all she finds there is rejection. She hears one of a group of beautiful women is leaving her job in a bar called COYOTE UGLY. Violet persuades the bar owner, Lil (Mario Bello), to give her a chance. When Violet arrives, the bouncer tells her it's a quiet night. She goes in. A wall of noise hits her--throbbing music, howling men. Two women are atop the bar, pulling a customer back over it, pulling up his shirt, pouring beer on his chest. Welcome to COYOTE UGLY. It's a Bruckheimer moment. Since Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson produced FLASHDANCE in 1983, there's been a parade of flashy, hyped-up movies showing a world of gleaming polished surfaces--sometimes metal (GONE IN 60 SECONDS), sometimes female flesh dripping with water or sweat (COYOTE UGLY). How will Violet deal with the bar
