Average Rating: 4.7/10

Consensus: Duets suffers from sloppy direction and stretches credibility. Also, the characters are uninteresting and it's hard to care about what happens to them.

Runtime: 1 hr 52 mins

Genre: Comedies

Box Office: $2,002,588

Duets is a road-trip film about six individuals who throw off the binds of their pre-determined lives and strive to fulfill their dreams. The metaphor for this is Karaoke … the courage to stand up, sing and be free. They are: a waitress (MARIA BELLO) from Wheeling, West Virginia desperate to get to California to become a recording star, an ex-con (ANDRE BRAUGHER) unwilling to bend to the rules of society who sings with the voice of an angel, a salesman (PAUL GIAMATTI) who melts down while chasing the American Dream, a seasoned Karaoke hustler (HUEY LEWIS) who is disconnected from everybody and everything, an innocent Vegas showgirl (Academy Award® winner GWYNETH PALTROW) searching for family and love, and a young down-on-his-luck cab driver (SCOTT SPEEDMAN). Each is searching for the meaning of life.

As they converge on the $5,000 Grand Prize Karaoke Contest in Omaha, Nebraska, their lives intertwine, revealing the funny, raucous world of Karaoke bars and chain hotels that link the interstates of Middle America. -- © Hollywood Pictures [More]
