A great movie you haven't seen...
While listening to Internet Radio, the song "Cruisin'" (a remake of an old Smokey Robinson song) came on. Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis sang it and the song originated from this movie.
A few years ago, when my wife said she rented a movie called 'Duets', three letters entered my mind: W-T-F.
The title doesn't exactly scream engaging movie. However, I gotta tell you, I loved it!
From the start, you'll find yourself immersed into the lives of several different, intriguing characters; all with one common thread: karaoke.
At the time, I only had a perception of what karaoke was. Watching this movie demonstrated that it was a lifestyle. For those few minutes you're on stage, you're a pop star, rock star, folk singer*...whatever. And whether you're good or bad, you'll always get applause at the end; sans judgment.
The soundtrack for the movie is great and, as you might guess, there's quite a few, enjoyable musical moments during it.
And then there's the storyline. Someone's already posted a long dissertation of the movie, so I wont' revisit it. You just have to understand that it's very entertaining.
If you've come to this thread via the profile from the actors in 'Duets', then I'd highly recommend you watch it. There is no bad acting. Everyone plays their part well (with Paul Giamatti's character being my favorite).
It's very good! Hell, it might even give you the courage to try it yourself sometime ;)
*There is no folk singing in this movie.
