Welcome to Idlewild, Georgia. Welcome to Church. Players gather nightly at the Church, with childhood friends--who grew up on opposite sides of the tracks--Rooster and Percival playing two key roles at the club. Set against the backdrop of this 1930s southern speakeasy, "Idlewild" is story of the loves and ambitions of these two struggling performers, told through intricate musical numbers and vibrantly choreographed dance sequences. Percival is the club's shy piano player and Rooster is the club's showy lead performer and manager. Together, they try to stave off gangsters who want to get their hooks into the place.

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.
