This is the basic story of a small town girl who ventures to New York to start her career. But the big city is not so friendly because people are rude and finding a job is not so easy — if you can imagine. Armed with her wit and occasional bad attitude, Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) man- ages to land a job at the toughest bar in town, as well as a date with the best-looking guy around. After she survives her initiation as a bar- tender at Coyote Ugly, she tries to form a friendship with her fellow coyotes. These bartenders are a little different from the ones you may see at Fat Harry's. They dance on the bar, juggle wine bottles in the air and do not respond well to customers who order water. Maria Bello (former cast member of ER), Tyra Banks and Adam Garcia combine to David Dunai/CO PHOTO EDITOR form a cast with a lot of chemistry. Director Jerry Bruckheimer chooses a fe- male-dominated cast for the first time. His other films, which include 'Any Given Sun- day" and "The Rock," usually contain "guy- related" material such as submarines and DAYS AND NIGHTS football. As usual, the plot definitely works and Bruckheimer returns with a fun-filled, action-packed movie.
