Fabulous Indeed!
1 of 1 found this helpful This is probably one of my top three music oriented films of all time, the other two being "This is Spinal Tap" and "That Thing You Do!". What all three of these films have in common is a real honest take on the genre that their fictitious story has been based upon - even the over-the-top Spinal Tap exudes sincerity amidst the hilarious spoofing.
Getting back to the Baker Boys, the Bridges Brothers are so perfect as the Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison of lounge entertainment, both on and off the stage. Nobody could have embodied these roles better. Nobody! And though it's really Dave Grusin playing the piano, Jeff and Beau have thankfully embodied the performances, and you have to look carefully to not believe it's them playing. I really appreciated that (I'm a musician), along with how Grusin plays just at the right level for the story, though he's far more accomplished than the lounge act.
Michelle Pfieffer is perfect as the singer - not great, but sexy and good enough that a real audience would stay to listen. Real world. The singing of "Makin' Whoopee" on top of the piano will always be the signature of this movie, but it's so much more. The dynamic between brothers, and life as a working musician, not a rock star, but a real world working musician is the gold inside this movie.
Neither a happy nor tragic ending, just a real one.
