Not just Jack and Frank, but Susie too. Hell, even Blanche.
I think I'd actually like to see a sequel to this - with all three of the original cast, of course. Ideas for the characters, folks?
I love those characters too. There was no follow up to this movie because it did not do well at the box office. In some ways I glad they didn't do a sequel because the movie ended the loose ends so well. But to answer your question: "The Fabulous Baker Boys" reunite with Suzie Diamond and become very successful in the process. Along with the success, they begin to fight with each other and forget the happy people they were before they reunited. With fame comes price. Does being famous define success and happiness? Probably not in my humble opinion.
shareThey'd be winning a VMA only to get interrupted on stage by Kanye West because Harry Connick Jr. "had the best single of all time"!
Promise me, no matter how hopeless things get, keep on trying, OK? Keep coming chin-up, OK?
it's an interesting thought, and just the kind of thing i ponder every time this film rolls credits. (other films too)
i like the 'what if' element that films like this leave the viewer pondering.
geesh, i gotta go update my open-ended list here on imdb
