Don't be misled. The name of the film may be Duets, but the soundtrack only features three actual duets. The film centers around wacky characters at a karaoke bar, and the soundtrack follows suit, featuring actors singing! Gwyneth Paltrow joins Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds for a cover of "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" and Huey Lewis for a go at Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'." "Try a Little Tenderness" is run through by Paul Giamatti and Arnold McCuller. Paltrow has a sweet whine in her voice, but it's no match for the husky drawl of Kim Carnes for "Bette Davis Eyes." Huey Lewis is no Joe Cocker with "Feelin' Alright," but it's a valiant rendition. On the other hand, Arnold McCuller's soulful reading of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" recasts the song as a spiritual. Duets is a perfect album for parties where "singing" "Copacabana" is a prerequisite. --Rob O'Connor

Summary: Try a Little Tenderness 2008-11-27
Comment: Come on now; all this mention of Gwyneth Paltrow is great. But the real show stopper is "Try A Little Tenderness", sung by Paul Giamatti. The duet is sensational !!! I have played the scene over and over a hundred times. I decided to buy the soundtrack just for that one song. Great performance.

Summary: GREAT soundtrack 2008-07-20
Comment: Unlike purchasing a whole CD of songs that have one or maybe two songs in a movie I like, I enjoy purchasing the soundtracks of my favorite movies, especially when they are familiar songs that bring back not only memories of the movie but times in your life when they were popular or they marked a special time. It's like having the best of both worlds..
