"I'm gonna be the only major thing that has happened to you in your life, and you're gonna be jerking off to my memory on your god damned death bed!" Yes, Maria, I will! What a performance from one of my favorites in a movie that has so many layers.
A frustrated salesman (Paul Giamatti) joins up with an escaped convict (Andre Braugher). A girl (Gwyneth Paltrow) finds her father (Huey Lewis), who is a Karaoke hustler. A Karaoke hustler? That is a new one on me.
Then there is Maria, who just wants to make it to the big time. They are all headed to Omaha and the big sing-off.
It appears to be another version of American Idol with lounge songs predominating. great music, great acting, and a sweet ending, well, except for one person.
Now, pardon me while I do as Maria says.
