Estamos en Idlewild, Georgia. The Church es un local alegre, lleno de música y de mujeres, regentado por dos hombres, Rooster y Percival, amigos de la infancia. El pianista Percival es un hombre reservado que trabaja en una funeraria y que toca cada noche en Church para poder olvidar sus preocupaciones. Una noche conoce a Angel, la última estrella de gira. Percival se enamora locamente de ella y tendrá que enfrentarse a una difícil decisión: dejar a su padre atrás para convertirse en un gran músico y tocar en otras ciudades o quedarse como está. (United International Pictures)

OutKast should have resigned themselves to a jukebox musical and made some proper music videos, toured with their latest album "Idlewild" and everyone would have been fine. Thus, the memory of this exceptional duo becomes somewhat bitter as they signed their names to the greatest black cliché imaginable. Small town, prohibition, and the road to happiness, lined with curvy ladies of color that would put even Joe Baker to shame. The a-historical music in this pretend retro doesn't make the slightest sense, nor does the belief that André 3000 and Big Boi know what acting is all about. Maybe the talking rooster should have given them some advice.

I love Outkast and their music... before "Idlewild." That album just never grew on me. They have much better stuff, and I have to say I would probably like a movie based on "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" more. "Idlewild" still has good music, but it's just not as memorable anymore, it's different. The same goes for the film, with many interesting elements, but overall, this mafia drama is overcooked and unfortunately lengthy.
