The Dukes

The members of a formerly celebrated doo-wop group, the Dukes, now reduced to waiting tables, get back together to pull a heist. Chazz Palminteri, Melora Hardin (Jan on The Office) and Peter Bogdanovich star with the writer-director Robert Davi.

"Vet character actor Robert Davi neatly balances humor and heart while smoothly moving to a doo-wop beat in "The Dukes," his engaging debut effort as a feature helmer. Pic is a low-key charmer about members of a '50s vocal group who, nearly five decades after their fleeting heyday, contemplate crime to fund a long-sought comeback. With Davi and Chazz Palminteri fronting a first-rate ensemble cast, and a tasty soundtrack of golden oldies, this unpretentious indie dramedy has much to recommend." (Joe Leydon, Variety)
