| James Sanford on FilmJames SanfordA strange combination of road movie, sitcom and "Razor's Edge"-style philosophical drama, "Duets" looks at six unhappy people who are brought together by their love of karaoke. Yes, karaoke. |
| Associated PressChristy LemireThere are too many characters, subplots and themes going on at the same time, so it's hard to connect with any of them. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanAn offbeat and occasionally quirky little movie that, like all successful ensembles, gradually builds upon its energy, depth, and momentum the further we get into it. |
