Critic Reviews
Giamatti provides those small moments of triumph that Duets pretends to celebrate but instead stifles with its sense of superiority.
Hits mostly flat notes, then a few really sour ones.
The joys of singing give the movie a hook, but when Duets aims for lyricism, it's got a tin ear.
By the time Duets faces the music, hardly anyone is going to care.
Simply creaks with contrivance -- particularly in its overwrought finale.
An intermittently irresistible entertainment.
The talented cast doesn't stand much of a chance in this rambling, pointless narrative.
Duets is to movies what karaoke is to pop: a spirited attempt by non-pros.
To be fair, there are moments when the film seems better than, finally, it is.
Miserable as it crawls for two eternal hours toward being "life-affirming."
