R | 1h 54min | Drama , Music , Romance | 13 October 1989
The lives of two struggling musicians, who happen to be brothers, inevitably change when they team up with a beautiful, up-and-coming singer.
Director: Steve Kloves
Stars: Jeff Bridges, Michelle Pfeiffer, Beau Bridges.

Watched online, good print.

27 songs in the Soundtracks. Apparently MP did her own singing.
 
I remember seeing this before, possibly in a theatre. I don't remember wanting to see it again, and didn't really enjoy it today. The story is about 3 very unhappy characters, and although they change their lives, there's no guarantee it's for the better. I won't go so far as to give it a 5 because some of the songs are enjoyable, but there are plenty of better ways to hear some standards.
