Description

A road trip comedy about six strangers from all walks of life who have one thing in common - a passion for karaoke. They are: a small-town singer with dreams of stardom, a down-on-his-luck young cab driver searching for the meaning of life, an ex-con with the past of a killer but the voice of an angel, a salesman burned out by his hamster-like existence on the treadmill of suburbia and an innocent Vegas showgirl who discovers a remarkable connection to a seasoned karaoke hustler. As they converge on the $5,000 grand prize karaoke contest in Omaha, Nebraska, they collide and combust and ultimately enrich each other, in the funny, raucous world of the karaoke bars and chain hotels that link the interstates of middle America.

  • Ignore the critics. Surprisingly good!

    A near-perfect execution of a formula for a Friday night, watch at home movie. Entertaining, touching, heartfelt in equal measure. Plus a great ensemble cast that shouldn't work as well as it does but does! Huey Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow, Maria Bello, and the always great Paul Giamatti. It was an unexpected treat.

    How dare you bash an original movie. Now I agree it isn't perfect but it is one of the most entertaining movies that I have ever seen. And I'm a movie Critic. It has definite error. But it earned far better than what you gave. The actors had chemistry, the characters were well developed and interesting and in this kind of movie that's all that matters. This is why I do not associate myself with you because the incompetent critics always seem to scream the loudest

    This is a wonderful movie. Watch it. Listen to it. Think about it. "Duets" isn't about singing; it's about relationships. There are wonderful things to learn in this movie. Just like there are in life.
  • Soundtrack?

    I love this movie!!! Love the chemistry between Gwyneth and Huey. The songs are wonderful and performed perhaps in ways that you wouldn't expect. (There's a moving a capella tune at the end that has evoked tears on more than one occasion.) I had hoped that I could buy the soundtrack for my iPod, but I guess that I'll have to be patient.
  • Love this movie!

    A real classic.. but guys.. read the credits! Andre Braugher, while he a gave an outstanding performance, did NOT sing! His vocals were performed by Arnold McCuller.
  • Very good film...
