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: Great tunes, but different version than the movie 2009-08-05
Comment: I really enjoy the movie and the songs they selected are great karaoke songs that make you want to sing along. My only issue is that the song as it is sung in the movie is slightly different than the CD version. I have watched the movie so many times, I sing all their "heys" and "ha's" but get tripped up since the CD is another recording. Why would you do that? At any rate, its still a good CD and movie, so its certainly worth picking up.

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.
