The Dukes (2007)

The Dukes: Directed by Robert Davi. With Chazz Palminteri, Robert Davi, Peter Bogdanovich, Frank D’Amico. The Dukes, a Doo Wop group, were on top of the world at 17, and struggle for survival in 2008. Their manager is desperately trying to get them work but is met with failure at every turn. Finally pushed to the extreme , they pull a heist only a fool would attempt, which leaves them even more desperate. When all seems lost, they find themselves. Underneath the laughter, the film explores the intricacies of redefining yourself; not dealing only with lost fame, but for anyone who’s found themselves at the bottom of the mountain looking up to where they once were; and how, in changing times, to hold on to your true self.

“What a refreshing, surprising and heartwarming movie! The chemistry of the the actors, the story line, the laughs, the touching moments, friendships/family, and the unexpected…all of that and more with u0026quot;The Dukesu0026quot;. Robert Daviu0026#39;s first time as a Director was a pleasant surprise. As an actor he pulled off a complex person who has many levels and portrayed that with grace and ease. Peter Bogdonovich played the role of the Dukes manager brilliantly. The music was great and perfect for the mood and the experience of the scenes. What struck me was that whatever age someone is I think people can relate to the experiences of each of the characters…if not them…for sure someone they know. It just reminded me of whatever age we are there are parts of us that never grow up…and who wants to?”
