Review of Duets (2000) by Marissa K — 16 Aug 2009
Wow, Huey Lewis acting in a movie! Hey, Huey, THE NEWS is in, you look fucking old! This is a pretty good movie about 3 pairs of people travelling to a kareokee competition in Omaha where there is a $5,000 dollar prize.
Huey Lewis plays a singing hustler who can trick people out of their money at kareokee because they don't know that he's actually Huey Lewis and can really sing. He meets up with his estranged daughter, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, who is such a dumb fucking blonde she actually named her daughter Apple.
Then there's Paul Giamatii, who plays a businessman who's sick of constantly living out of airport hotel rooms, and discovers kareokee and drugs, and it frees him. He even gets his ear pierced (but it's in the gay ear, not like he knows).
He picks up a black escaped convict hitchhiking and they form a strong bond. Then there's Scott Speedman, who being distraught after his girlfriend cheats on him, picks up Mario Bello who demands he drive her to California in his cab.
She blows and fucks her way into free paint jobs and hotel rooms. The actors all sing pretty good in this film, and I'm pretty sure it's really them singing because it actually sounds like their voices.
So, there, the answer to the question - what ever happened to Huey Lewis?
