'The Fabulous Baker Boys' is about two brothers, cocktail lounge piano players, whose lives are disrupted when an attractive young woman joins their act and revitalises their career. Starring together for the first time are real-life brothers, Jeff and Beau Bridges as Jack and Frank Baker. Michelle Pfeiffer is Susie Diamond, the woman who enters and irrevocably changes their lives. Combining romance, drama, music and comedy, the film chronicles the tentative love affair that springs up between Jack and Susie, both of whom have already had their illusions about life and love somewhat flattened by past experience, and it depicts the filial love between Jack and Frank, which is both a support and constraint for each brother and their mutual love for music. But in the end, ''The Fabulous Baker Boys' is a salute to friendship, family and following your dreams.
