To be quite direct, this movie was terrible, yet we learned two things. First Huey Lewis, though I love his music, just cannot act. Secondly, sorry to say, but Gwyneth Paltrow cannot sing. This film about the karaoke world often is inconsistent and wrong. Giamatti does a great job with his convict partner, but outside of that, don't wait too long for the good scenes. There are not many. It is sad that of all of the great songs written for duets and otherwise, the writers chose some of the poorest titles for this movie. The film makes little sense, and is just a bad attempt at entertaining. As the grand world winds down to Omaha, there is nothing but discord and rather poor plots in an attempt to make something of this mess. This is a comedy, but there is very little to smile about.
