Reception
Coyote Ugly was generally panned by critics, who saw it as little more than an excuse to portray "hot, sexy women dancing on a bar in a wet T-shirt contest." Even askmen.com admitted that while "incredibly attractive" women "flaunt that fact" in the film, "that's all there is". AskMen.com's audience rates the film 88/100, however. It currently holds a 22% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 95 reviews. VH1 made a statement about Rimes' appearance in the film stating, "Rimes, who is only 17 years old, was sporting leather pants and a skimpy top and in all likelihood, even with a fake ID, would never have been allowed inside any NYC bar."

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks.

—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
