Duets Reviews

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Gwyneth Paltrow, I thought I might as well give it a try. First of all, the rest of the cast was also actually pretty neat (Paul Giamatti, Scott Speedman, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph, Angie Dickinson), so who knows? Even though the whole thing looked pretty lame, maybe it could turn out to be a nice surprise. Unfortunately, it turned out to be pretty underwhelming. Of course, karaoke is not really a spellbinding subject but the makers didn’t succeed at all in making this subject more interesting than it seemed. Eventually, it would be the only movie Gwyneth Paltrow would make with her father, Bruce Paltrow, who would die two years later after making this flick, and I guess it must have been pretty neat for the Paltrow’s to make a movie together but, unfortunately, the end-result was pretty tedious for the viewers. To conclude, I have seen worse and, somehow, I still think the whole thing had some potential, but, at the end of the day, it remains a rather weak feature and I don’t think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a diehard fan of Gwyneth Paltrow.
