I found this movie via Netflix streaming movies. I can relate to it because of similar ages and similar interests.
Chazz Palminteri is really very good and believable as psychiatrist Frank Gregorio, just turning 60. He is happily married and lives in a cute neighborhood in Connecticut, not far from the sea. His dad had been a wonderful singer as a young man, and Frank had sung a bit, but not for years. One of his daughters is getting married and he wants to sing at her wedding, so he needs practice.
He found out about Karaoke, and decided that would be a good way to get used to singing in front of people. When there he met up with a lady who encouraged him, after she heard him sing she said he might be able to win a Karaoke competition. He didn't even know there had such things.
So most of the story is about him starting to sing again, and getting perhaps a bit too friendly with the other lady. This causes some friction in his relationship with his wife of 40 years, but in the end they are able to move on. Good story, I found it all very plausible. Chazz Palminteri is great in the role and when he sang he sounded pretty good.
