Idlewild (2006) (nat)

This one was on TV so I watched it. It's not all that interesting but it's entertaining for a little while. I like song and dance movies so I played along. Anyway, it's about childhood friends, Rooster and Percival (OutKast), from different sides of the track who grow up to work in the same speakeasy type club--Rooster running parts of it, running "hooch," and singing and Percival playing piano. Trumpy (a happy surprise of Terrence Howard) takes over the club and causes trouble for Rooster while Angel, a pretty singer, shows up and turns Percival's world upside down.

It's entertaining enough--worth a watch if you catch it on TV. But there is an odd "Mary Jane's Last Dance" moment toward the end.
