Director Bruce Paltrow probably had plenty of reasons to pass on this cross country karaoke themed drama -- the most obvious being that it's a CROSS COUNTRY KARAOKE THEMED DRAMA. As three pairs of starry eyed social misfits (including Huey Lewis and the director's blonder, more famous offspring) head to a sing off out West, they bounce from bar to bar, evading their pasts -- and, after a roadside murder, the law -- as much as possible. Stuffed with thinly constructed characters and glaringly predictable story arcs, Duets hits all the wrong notes.

OR 'SOLOS,' WHICHEVER THE CASE MAY BE Paltrow belts it out karaoke style in ''Duets''
