A movie about karaoke, hoakey in the same way that karaoke is hoakey, but it drew me and my husband into it. The awkwardness of the three not smoothly interwoven stories - three pairs of karaoke singers who end up in Omaha for the $5000 big prize - worked because they were awkward in the same way that karaoke is awkward - not quite professional, but with mega soul to make up for the lapses. All the performances were wondrous, making both the lovely and the horrid bits of dialogue work -Paltrow and Huey Lewis, and Giammetti and Andre Braugher particularly, and the singing was gorgeous.
