Reviews

sikkwithsin OK ,so I am a fan- I go to the video store and check out new releases and see Robert Davi on the cover of a new DVD release called The Dukes. Being a huge Goonie fan I rent it. We have family movie night ,sometimes I watch them first and then tell my family and friends. Well, The Dukes was a terrific film. Robert Davi directed the film and did a great job. My mom and dad loved the film and thanked me for bringing it home . They want it for the collection. The characters and story seemed to touch on what a lot of people may be going through these days but they did not give up and kept the faith . We laughed hysterically at times and we all teared up at some points. The music was terrific --we all recommend this movie and think you will enjoy it as we did

Janelle POWLES Having followed Robert Davi's career for some time, I was not at all surprised by his usual excellent performance in his new film, "The Dukes". The real surprise to me was his deft handling of the directorial task. As a first time director, one might expect to find fault with his efforts. On the contrary. The movie is a seamless, professional product that is extremely entertaining.Another unexpected surprise was the beautiful singing voice of Mr. Davi. Although I was familiar with his opera background and had heard snipits of his singing before ("Goonies", "Amazon", "Wiseguy") I had no idea that his versatility extended to the "doo wop" genre. One can only hope that we will hear more of this side of the multi-talented Davi again in the future. I hate to use words like "old fashioned entertainment" or "refreshing" but "The Dukes" is both. Without being maudlin or sentimental. It will have you laughing one minute and then tug at your heart strings the next. As Davi also wrote the script, he should also be given credit for the overall tone of the film. How unusual these days to see a film that doesn't have the obligatory "F Bomb" in every other sentence. And - no exploding cars! Or nudity! It really is a film that the whole family can watch and enjoy.I congratulate Mr. Davi on his wonderful film and hope that it will be released soon so that the rest of the Country can enjoy it (and so I can see it again!)

mtomaselli I saw the The Dukes movie last night at the Wildwood Film Festival and liked it very much. I am surprised to see it listed as a drama because I didn't see it in that light. I thought it was a good light-hearted comedy that I would recommend as a good family movie. It has a nice story about being down on your luck while trying to hold on to your dreams. I've not seen a movie with Chaz Palmenteri in a comedic performance and found him to be very funny. The movie has some really funny scenes between Robert Davi and Chazz Palminteri playing well off of each other. The music was really good too. I thought there was a nice selection of Doo Wop songs and I especially liked the music by the group, The Emeralds. It was nice to see a local acapella group featured in a really good movie. If the movie comes your way, go see it - you won't be disappointed.

Pat Reale I was privileged to attend a special screening of the movie at the director's guild in LA with Govenor Schwarzenegger. I love the camaraderie between the guys. Anyone transplanted from NY to LA knows the struggles and frustrations, especially if they were on top at of their game one point in their life and find themselves trying to make that come back.Most everyone can relate to the highs and lows experienced in their own life's daily struggles watching as The Dukes confront their situations leaving you with a great message: "NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS". Kudos to Robert Davi on his directorial debut, fantastic job, he left no emotion untouched. The entire cast was magnificent! I highly recommend everyone see this film.
