Duets

We watched Duets off cable. As a movie it was very good, but as a karaoke movie, it was amazing. I wouldn't have thought that I could enjoy a movie with karaoke as a central unifying force.

The plot has 3 pairs of people crossing the country to a meeting at a karaoke contest in the Midwest. Each of the couples is kind of brought together by circumstances and has a chance to teach each other something.

The acting is great across the board, and the cast includes, Gwyneth Paltrow, one of my favorite actresses, and Huey Lewis, one of my all time favorite singers.

I also love the character that flips out and spends almost the length of the movie "out getting a pack of cigarettes."

On my scale of 1-100, I rate it an 80.
