It was pretty good, but the transitions between certain scenes weren't smooth. And I didn't really like the idea of Violet turning in to a hooker-looking bar dancer...

What Parents Need to Know
About Coyote Ugly
Parents need to know that this movie has sexual references and situations, but pretty mild by PG-13 standards. There are a number of jokes about the girls' sexual availability but no evidence that they engage in casual sex. Drinking, even drinking to excess, is handled lightheartedly, and drinking hard liquor is considered a sign of strength. Violet does something of a strip tease for her beau, ostensibly to make him nervous, which makes no sense, but then it didn't make any sense when Jennifer Beals removed her bra without taking off her sweatshirt in "Flashdance," either, and no one complained about that.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the way that Violet adopts what she thinks was her late mother's weakness, possibly as a way of keeping her close by being like her or from some notion of not betraying her by being able to do what she could not. They might want to talk about Violet's somewhat one-sided relationship with Kevin. She shows very little interest in his life or willingness to support him, and she decides that he is unfaithful on very flimsy evidence.
Families could also talk about the demeaning way that the girls in the bar see men's view of women and the ways that women convey sexuality and availability and the problems that can occur if you don't have huge bouncers on hand, as they do at the bar.
