In Live at the Foxes Den, a disillusioned young lawyer leaves the pressures from his law firm and his bitchy princess of a girl friend and becomes the lounge singer at a downscale tavern. It’s a vehicle for Twilight star Jackson Rathbone, whose voice is indeed good enough to play a member of the Parisian mob in Les Miserables. Unfortunately, the story’s arc is pretty predictable, and it’s completely unbelievable that this guy is a promising lawyer. Screenwriter Jack Holmes wrote the best role for himself as the tavern’s bitter alcoholic house pianist.
Pretty lame overall, Live at the Foxes Den might be worth streaming just so you can fast forward to one subversively funny scene, where the pianist disrupts an AA meeting with an infectious rendition of What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor.
Live at the Foxes Den is available streaming from Amazon (free on Amazon Prime), iTunes and Vudu.
