What happens

Coyote Ugly is a 2000 American comedy-drama film based on the Coyote Ugly Saloon. It was directed by David McNally, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman, and written by Gina Wendkos with additional material by an uncredited Kevin Smith, based on "The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Set at the titular drinking establishment in New York City, the film stars Piper Perabo in her breakthrough role, Adam Garcia, Maria Bello, Melanie Lynskey, and John Goodman. The film received mostly negative reviews but was a box office success nonetheless, grossing $113 million worldwide. The film has become a cult classic over the years. In 2020, Tyra Banks said that she had been lobbying the original production team for a sequel for years. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
