Despite the charming principal performances, The Dukes remains little more than an unambitious pet project. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

Once one of the most popular doo-wop duos in the 1960s, Danny (Robert Davi) and George (Chazz Palminteri) now barely make a living in the music business. While their loyal manager (Peter Bogdanovich) struggles to find them gigs, Danny and George decide to boost their bank accounts the old-fashioned way: burglary. Hearing about a shady dentist's stash of gold fillings, the men prepare to pull off a heist.

Audience Reviews for The Dukes

    Great film. Congrads on Robert Davi on making a really good film. The film is better than half of the films that are playing right now. Davi did a great job both directing wise and acting wise. He has a great on screen chemistry with Chazz Palminteri, who is also hilarious in the film. The film kind of reminded me of the movie, The Crew, with Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds. The Crew was a better film than this. However, I still liked The Dukes and recommend it.

    As soon as it started, I immediately didn't like it. I think I got to about 37 minutes before I turned it off.
