Steve Kloves' impressive highly entertaining directorial debut centres on the Baker Boys (played by real-life brothers Jeff and Beau Bridges) siblings who have a two-piano act that plays at Seattle's downbeat cocktail lounges. Jack (Jeff Bridges) is a bitter loner whose ambition is to be a jazz musician while Frank (Beau Bridges) is a family man content to spend his days giving piano lessons and playing pop tunes with his brother. Their act needs some new blood. Enter Susie Diamond (Michelle Pfeiffer) a tough cynical former hooker whose presence immediately revives the act. It also complicates matters when Jacks falls for her. Strong performances a great script wonderful music and Michelle Pfeiffer at her absolute sexiest.
Frank and Jack Baker are professional musicians who play small clubs. Jack is the cynical talented one with a liking for casual relationships while Frank is more ordinary and organised with a suburban home and family. After a series of boring gigs they decide to hire a singer. Into their lives walks Susie Diamond a hard nosed woman with a face as beautiful as her voice. Their status begins to pick up but tensions are beginning to mount between the two brothers especially as romance is blossoming between Susie and Jack.
