The Dukes is a 2007 comedy-drama film that follows a group of former doo-wop singers as they attempt to make one final comeback. The main characters are a pair of cousins, Danny (Chazz Palminteri) and George (Robert Davi), who have been playing music together for over 40 years. Despite their long partnership, the two have not achieved the success they feel they deserve, and have largely faded into obscurity.

When they receive an offer to play a gig at a high-profile club in Las Vegas, the two decide to reunite their doo-wop band, The Dukes, with the hopes of finally achieving the fame and fortune they believe they deserve. Along the way, they are joined by a motley crew of misfits, including Danny's estranged daughter, a gambling addict, and a former boxer.

As they prepare for their big show, the group must navigate a number of obstacles and setbacks, including strained relationships, financial woes, and the challenges of aging. Along the way, they learn important lessons about family, friendship, and the importance of following your dreams, no matter how unlikely they may seem.

The film is filled with memorable performances, including strong turns by Palminteri and Davi as the cousins at the heart of the story. Peter Bogdanovich also provides a standout performance as an eccentric club owner who takes an interest in the group. The supporting cast, which includes familiar faces like Miriam Margolyes and Frank D'Amico, also adds depth and humor to the story.

At its core, The Dukes is a film about second chances, perseverance, and the power of music to bring people together. It's a heartwarming, feel-good story that will appeal to fans of both dramatic indie films and classic doo-wop music. With its upbeat soundtrack, charming characters, and compelling plot, this film is proof that even after 40 years, it's never too late to capture your dreams.

The Dukes is a 2007 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 37 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.9 and a MetaScore of 46.
