Huey Lewis is a 50-year-old songwriter and actor perhaps best known for his part in the Back to the Future soundtrack, and Gwyneth Paltrow is a highly acclaimed award-winning actress of over 30 movies. Put together in the same place they’re sure to come up with something magical.

And they did. The result was a musically-oriented movie called Duets, whose primary subject is the little-known world of karaoke contests. Lewis plays the role of a karaoke hustler on the road, and Paltrow his daughter Liv who decides after years of estrangement that she wants to tag along with her father.

Though the film received mixed reviews it is still a favorite of many, and led to Paltrow and Lewis performing in a real duet together – a cover of the classic song Cruisin’, which managed to climb to the top of the charts despite never actually being released as a single.
