Director Bruce Paltrow teams with his Oscar-winning daughter Gwyneth Paltrow for this road comedy with music. Paltrow plays Liv, a struggling professional singer whose meets her father, Ricky Dean (Huey Lewis), for the first time at the funeral of her mother. As it turns out, both Liv and Ricky supplement the income from few-and-far-between gigs by singing in karaoke contests, and soon father and daughter are competing on the same circuit. Meanwhile, Todd Woods (Paul Giamatti), a salesman who has grown disenchanted with his job, his family, and his life, picks up a hitch-hiker named Reggie Kane (Andre Braugher), and during a stop at a tavern, they discover they make a good duet team while belting out a version of "Try A Little Tenderness." And waitress Suzi Loomis (Maria Bello) sweet talks Billy (Scott Speedman), a cabbie, into driving her to Omaha, where the national karaoke finals will determine who does the best job of singing along with the records, as the lives of these six characters begin to intersect. Duets also features Angie Dickinson as Blair, Liv's grandmother who was once a showgirl in Frank Sinatra's Las Vegas floorshow; Brad Pitt was originally cast in Speedman's role but withdrew after he and Paltrow announced the end of their off-camera relationship.

Maria Bello, Andre Braugher, Paul Giamatti, Huey Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow. Run time: 112 mins. Aspect ratio: 1.85: 1. Originally released: 2000. Language: English. Factory Sealed Brand New Blu-Ray 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 (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. ]Six people escape their average lives by singing Karaoke. ]0]]Bruce Paltrow]]]Gwyneth Paltrow]Andre Braugher]Maria Bello]Scott Speedman]Paul Giamatti]Huey Lewis]Brent Butt]Lochlyn Munro]Steve Oatway]

The first time I saw "Duets" it came across as delightfully quirky; the humor is great and the music is outstanding. I found myself singing along with the tunes and was flabberghasted by Gwenth Paltrow's singing talent!
If there's anything I would change, it's Maria Bello's character as I feel the sexual dialogue could have been less explicit.
I bought the DVD and have loaned it to friends, and plan to buy another copy to give as a Christmas present. This movie lifts my spirits when I'm feeling low and I heartily recommend it to adult audiences.
