This sophisticated salute to family, romance, friends and disillusionment is pure bliss from start to finish. Real-life brothers Jeff and Beau Bridges play the cocktail lounge piano players of the title whose volatile relationship explodes when they employ sultry torch singer Michelle Pfeiffer to revitalise their tired act. Sweetly directed by Steve Kloves, the film smoothly zeroes in on many universal truths along its delightful way, with the fabulous Bridges boys' faultless timing and expert underplaying allowing Pfeiffer to shine radiantly. You won't forget her sizzling rendition of Makin' Whoopee while draped over a grand piano in a hurry, either.

"...[A] slow, teasing, rapturously moody romance....THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, like its stars, has style and sultriness to spare..."

One of my all time favourite films
Watching this film after many years it still had the same magic. Some of the style is dated, but the tension between the two main characters is electric. Just love the music. Warning - this film may encourage you to start smoking!
