Brothers Jeff Bridges and Beau Bridges star as the eponymous Baker Boys, while Michelle Pfeiffer plays lounge singer Susie Diamond. The Fabulous Baker Boys was Kloves's directorial debut and second screenplay.
Mar 19, 2024 · For Pfeiffer, who recorded all her songs and then lip-synched on camera, singing was just as nerve-racking. She hadn’t worked her pipes since Grease 2 seven years earlier. But her interpretations of jazz standards wowed not just fans but her costars.

Even most of Grease 2's characters think "Brad" stinks. "Brad" is a short joke song performed by the Sorority Twins as part of their tryout for Rydell High's talent show. The main gag of the song is that these two twins are overwhelmingly infatuated with Brad, who is clearly a complete loser. Unfortunately, the joke is pretty basic and "Brad" quick...
"Charades" is the only song sung solo by Grease 2's male lead, and cousin of Olivia Newton-John's Sandy, Michael (Maxwell Caulfield). Unfortunately, it is little more than a boring ballad performed with almost no energy or gusto. One of Grease 2's main strengths is its choreography and "Charades" takes little advantage of that with most of the song...
"(Love Will) Turn Back The Hands Of Time" further proves that Maxwell Caulfield is no John Travolta. His lackluster performance in this song, opposite Stephanie (Michelle Pfeiffer), only emphasizes his comparatively limited ability as a singer. However, "(Love Will) Turn Back The Hands Of Time" is saved from the very bottom of the list by its incre...
"We'll Be Together" invokes a classic Grease song, but in name only. Although "We'll Be Together" ends Grease 2, like how "We Go Together" is the musical finale of Grease, instead of being an upbeat singalong it's yet another painfully slow 80s ballad. "We'll Be Together" ends Grease 2 on an oddly dull note, which is somewhat fitting for a sequel t...
Although "Do It For Our Country" is a significant step-up in terms of energy than some of the flatter ballads in Grease 2, it also suffers for being incredibly creepy. "Do It For Our Country" is sung by T-Bird DiMucci (Peter Frechette) in an attempt to pressure Pink Lady Sharon (Maureen Teefy) into having sex with him in a bomb shelter. The song is...
This climatic party song, involving the entire cast, pales in comparison to Grease's "You're The One That I Want", which is perhaps to be expected. The set design for the sequence, filled with tiki torches and string lights, is impressive and the appropriation of Hawaiian culture in "Rock-A-Hula Luau" feels very accurate for Grease 2's setting in t...
The song "Girl For All Seasons" is a middling love ballad that is supported by some truly incredible "en pointe" choreography and some of the most extravagant costumes this side of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis. However, the point of the song in the film itself is actually to be an overly long and dull song, supported by the fact that rehearsals for it are ...
"Back To School Again" sets the tone for Grease 2 with an upbeat and catchy song with some bizarrely entertaining choreography. The shot where Stephanie leads the Pink Ladies to school with a slow shimmy is ridiculously funny. While most of the song is performed well by the band The Four Tops, the Pink Ladies verse, sung in-universe by the characte...
"Reproduction" is not a song full of double entendre, it settles for a single one instead: all the allusions to sex are incredibly out in the open. "Reproduction", like the incredibly enthusiastic teenage characters singing it, only has an interest in the act of reproduction rather than its consequences, which makes it a silly but fun time. The onl...
"Who's That Guy" serves as the introduction of Michael's motorcyclist alter-ego. It begins with a genuinely fantastic bass line that pairs perfectly alongside footage of a mysterious motorbike rider. The motorbike motif introduced in "Who's That Guy" follows that of the car motif in Grease and features throughout Grease 2, though it doesn't copy Gr...
Michelle Pfeiffer hadn't sung in a year when she got the part of Susie Diamond. She had to practice for ten hours a day in the studio, and then took the tapes home with her to study them.
Michelle Pfeiffer is an American actress. She has received three Academy Award nominations: Best Supporting Actress for Dangerous Liaisons (1988), and Best Actress for The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) and Love Field (1992).
In 2021, singer-songwriter Ethel Cain released her debut single "Michelle Pfeiffer", which the artist named after the actress because "I've always ... thought she was a picture perfect bombshell".

There is a scene in “The Fabulous Baker Boys” where Michelle Pfeiffer, wearing a slinky red dress, uncurls on top of a piano while singing “Makin’ Whoopee.” The rest of the movie is also worth the price of admission.
