Plot

Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo), an aspiring songwriter, leaves her home and her father Bill Sanford (John Goodman) to pursue her dream in New York City. While she tries, unsuccessfully, to get her demo tape to be noticed by the studios, she meets a group of bartenders in a local hot spot called Coyote Ugly. She is hired by the bar's owner Lil (Maria Bello) and must learn the ropes of singing, dancing, and performing wild acts before a rowdy crowd. Romantic interest Kevin O'Donnell (Adam Garcia) tries to help her in overcoming her shyness. Piper Lisa Perabo (born October 31, 1976) is an American movie actress. ...

Production

Kevin Smith, who did an uncredited rewrite of the script, stated that a total of eight writers worked on the script while the Writers Guild of America only gave credit to Gina Wendkos, who wrote the first draft of the script, which, according to Smith, little-resembles the final film.^[1] (See WGA screenwriting credit system.)

Unrated Edition

In summer 2005 an unrated special edition of the film (the original release was rated PG-13 and the director's cut rated R) was released on DVD. The extended cut adds approximately six minutes to the film's runtime, most of which consists of additional shots of the "coyotes" dancing on the bar and of Violet and Cammie (Izabella Miko) trying on different outfits while shopping. Arguably the most notable additions are the extension of the sex scene between Violet and Kevin (Piper Perabo used a body double for most of the scene), and the inclusion of an additional scene, which shows the "coyotes" winning a baseball game because Cammie distracts the pitcher by stripping. (The special features of the extended cut DVD are identical with those of the previous DVD release.)

Trivia

• It was based on an article, The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon, in GQ by Elizabeth Gilbert who worked as a bartender in East Village. The bar which opened in 1993 quickly became a favorite of the Lower Eastside hipsters. Lill Lovell, the owner, founded the bar in order to drive her former employer across the street at The Village Idiot out of business. She did.
• The slang term "coyote ugly" refers to the feeling of waking up after a one night stand and discovering that you are beside someone who is so physically repulsive that you would gladly gnaw off any of your limbs that he or she is sleeping on just so you can get away without being discovered. Coyotes are known to gnaw off limbs if they are stuck in a trap.
• The film has a cameo appearance by Johnny Knoxville, pre-Jackass fame, and also a performance by the band The Calling, also before the fame brought by their debut album Camino Palmero.
• The band playing at the end of the film is Chalk FarM.
• Although Piper Perabo was able to sing for her character, it was decided that LeAnn Rimes would provide Violet's singing voice, albeit with a deliberate deviation from her natural vocal range. This means that during the LeAnn's cameo in the movie, she is effectively duetting with herself.
