Duets is a road-trip comedy which revolves around the little known world of karaoke and the whimsical characters who inhabit it. There's the struggling singer who dreams of making it to the big time, a frustrated salesman who ends up on an unexpected road trip, the dysfunctional family performers which includes a con-artist (Huey Lewis) and his long lost daughter, and an escaped convict (Andre Braugher) with the voice of an angel. All roads lead to Omaha, site of a national karaoke competition where this motley group of singers and stars come together for a blow-out sing-off. (imdb)

Good ideas and good intentions that just don't work. The framework upon which this movie hangs, the world of karaoke competition, is flimsy; it doesn't work. The karaoke is an excuse to tell these stories, rather than something that drives characters. A silly subject with the right treatment makes us understand the characters devoted to it, as in Best in Show or Strictly Ballroom. In capable hands, these worlds become something we laugh at and sympathize with. The writers of Duets don't bother.

The central story in this picture (guy goes out to get a pack of cigarettes) shines in producing a picture of desperate alienation and capturing feelings rarely seen & yet experienced. The rest of the con artists & losers that populate the film are not so interesting, one wonders why they bothered. Gwen (who deserves mentions because i hate her) is not challenged to bring heat to the screen & does nicely with her goofy sort of mentally damaged role.

Not engaging at all.

Frankly, the film is boring and very sleepy. Unfortunately, because Gwyneth Paltrow is a good actress.

The best thing about this is Paul Giamatti. His singing is warm, funny and sweet.
