Duets does the impossible - it makes karaoke seem interesting.

The press notes say the director spent five years developing Duets. He should have developed it more.

In addition to its other shortcomings, Duets is awfully slow in getting going.

A not very good adult movie about adult issues.

Duets will be most appreciated by music buffs. The actual karaoke scenes attain the bounce that's missing from the rest of the film.

"Duets" is a frustratingly mediocre road movie that connects three unlikely pairs of people in the much maligned phenomenon of Karaoke singing as a metaphor for "finding the meaning of life" by sharing their interpretations of pop songs.

To their credit, [Byrum and Paltrow] attempted to make a movie of ideas. Alas, many of the ideas are bad. Not to mention bigoted.

And the director's Oscar-winning daughter? Never did I ever think she could ever be so annoying.

A conceptual train wreck.

I couldn't have karaoked less about it.
July 19, 2014
A muddled and meandering long-distance road movie that strives to be engagingly offbeat, but more often comes across as annoyingly off-key.
January 01, 2000
The talented cast doesn't stand much of a chance in this rambling, pointless narrative, reeling off such howlers as: 'I've waited all my life to spend time with you.'
