Movie Description
Brothers Jack and Frank Baker 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, a beautiful, but hard-talking, chain-smoking singer. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Actress--Michelle Pfeiffer, Best Original Score.
Synopsis
Two piano-playing brothers, one a cynic with serious artistic leanings, and the other a perpetually optimistic, but workmanlike player, audition a number of vocalists in order to spice up their stale lounge act. When they find a beautiful and talented young singer, their career starts to pick up again. But jealousies, both romantic and professional, begin to appear and threaten their newfound success.

Industry Reviews
"...Pfeiffer is a knockout....The Bridges brothers are a winning pair..."
Rolling Stone - p.36 - Peter Travers (11/02/1989)
"...Pfeiffer Unbound. You don't want to take your eyes off her..." -- Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (02/16/1996)
"...A clear-eyed look at an unpromising end of show biz.....As salty and sexy and unhousebroken a movie as you could hope to find.....Michelle Pfeiffer is delectable..."
Los Angeles Times - Sheila Benson (10/13/1989)
"...[A] slow, teasing, rapturously moody romance....THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, like its stars, has style and sultriness to spare..."
New York Times - p.C14 - Janet Maslin
"Steve Kloves' elegant three-hander is an intimate riff on brotherly love/hate, spruced up by the natural chemistry between the Bridges."
Total Film - Andy Lowe (04/01/2004)
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he sparkling performances ensure this remains engrossing entertainment."
Ultimate DVD - Natalie Braine (03/01/2007)
