Movie Reviews of The Fabulous Baker Boys
Movie Review: "Michelle Pfeiffer is a helluva singer"
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Fabulous Baker Boys" may have been released twenty years ago,but it still holds up very well-Jeff & Beau Bridges portray a duo who perform in several cocktail lounges in and around Seattle-The crowds are rather sparse in the places they perform at-They then decide to add a female singer to their act-After auditioning several ladies who fail to make the grade,they choose the ultra sexy Susie Diamond,played to perfection by Michelle Pfeiffer-The act is now filling hotel ballrooms everywhere-Unfortunately,there is friction between the brothers when Susie falls madly in love with the Jeff Bridges character-This movie is rated R and deservedly so because it contains profanity & sexual situations-For me,Michelle Pfeiffer made this movie a box office smash-She has a beautiful singing voice-Listen to her take on such standards as "Makin' Whoopee" & "My Funny Valentine" & you'll see why-Highly recommended.
Summary of The Fabulous Baker Boys
Jack and Frank Baker are stuck in a rut. Playing the same tired tunes night after night, the brothers are in desperate need of change. So when they meet a sultry songbird named Susie Diamond, their future starts to sparkle. But when life in the limelight brings old rivalries to the surface as Jack and Susie?'s relationship heats up, the Baker boys soon find their act ?- and their lives ?- growing more entertaining than either of them may be able to handle!An inspired casting gimmick, a wonderful mood, a grown-up love story--all this in The Fabulous Baker Boys, but the only thing anybody ever talks about is Michelle Pfeiffer on top of a piano. Granted, it's a showstopper: clad in a slinky dress, Pfeiffer rolls around on the Steinway while she purrs out a languid version of "Makin' Whoopee." Adding to the seductive vibe is the fact that she's not singing to the audience, but to the sullen piano player (Jeff Bridges) whose fancy she has captured. Bridges and his real-life brother, Beau, play two lounge entertainers whose act has grown stale; they're not above doing "Feelings" for the tourist crowd. They've hired songbird Pfeiffer (who does her own sexy singing) to spice up the routine, a strategy that pays off in spades. The three actors are terrific, with the fabulous Bridges boys playing neatly off their own sibling rhythms. Writer-director Steve Kloves captures the feel of second-rate Seattle clubs, and Dave Grusin's jazzy score keeps propelling the film forward. The story itself might have come from a 1940s romance, yet Kloves and his actors keep it unusually modern and thoughtful. And then there's Michelle Pfeiffer rolling around on top of a piano.... --Robert Horton
