Whatever happened to the good ol' days where one could go to a jazz lounge, sip on their favorite drink, and be crooned to all-night long? Live at the Foxes Den brings us back to a time like that, just set in the current day.
Corporate lawyer Bobby Kelly (Jackson Rathbone) is making uncharacteristic mistakes at his law firm and the pressure is building. He, along with several coworkers Gary Previn (Pooch Hall), Susan Hudson (Caity Lotz), and Steve Weiss (Mark Famiglietti), stop in to a rundown dive bar, The Foxes Den. Sitting at the bar are two gentleman, Paul Munchak (Elliot Gould) and his partner Tony O'Hara (Bob Gunton), waiting to be served by the owner, Earl Stein (Brian Doyle-Murray). Playing the piano and looking as disinterested as possible is the tall, long blonde haired Chad Barrows (Jack Holmes) and serving the drinks to the lawyers is quiet, but beautiful Cat (Jocelin Donahue).
After a fun night at the Foxes Den, Susan tells Bobby the next day that she had lost her earring at the club. Bobby heads down to the lounge in search of the missing earring. Previously, Bobby had sung an impromptu song to attempt to earn the crew free drinks for the night, but the prize was just a peck on the cheek from Cat. As he returned, the ususals in the lounge remembered Bobby from the night before and encouraged him to sing once more.
Bobby, amidst all the stress from work, found relief and solace while singing at the Foxes Den. After a performance in front of new scragglers that walked into the bar, Bobby accepts Earl's invitation to be the new lounge singer. Bobby's life, along with those at the Foxes Den, are changed forever in due time.
Secrets are revealed, relationships are tested, and choices are to be made in this 2013 drama.
Co-written by Holmes and director Michael Kristoff, Live at the Foxes Den is part musical, part drama, part comedy, but overall entertaining. With varied experience levels running through the cast, a great soundtrack, and some solid writing, the film combines two great eras in a unique viewing experience.
