- Synopsis
- Brothers Jack and Frank Baker (Jeff and Beau Bridges) are cocktail lounge piano players whose career has hit a sour note. They need a little charm and sex appeal to liven up their act--what they get is Susie Diamond (Pfeiffer), a beautiful, but hard-talking, chain-smoking singer.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"From the first bracing hint of self-mockery in its title to its smoky, after-hours resolution, it's a grabber and a delight, constantly surpassing our expectations"
-
"All over this movie there are cliches that are just plain embarrassing, and unsettling moments in which it's obvious Kloves is writing about stuff he doesn't know a thing about."
