Bring Home “Song Sung Blue” on Digital! {Giveaway Contest}

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson star in “Song Sung Blue,” a musical drama inspired by the true story of a 1990s Neil Diamond tribute band and their unlikely path to regional fame.

I must admit that when I hear the chorus to “Sweet Caroline,” I HAVE to sing along to that Neil Diamond song. However, it’s not just the songs that drew me in to this movie, the film’s storyline intrigued me as well.

Based on an incredible true story, Mike (Hugh Jackman) and Claire (Kate Hudson) are two down-on-their-luck musicians who prove that it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams. They form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band called Lightning and Thunder, rising from a humble garage to dive bar gigs to unexpected hometown stardom. When tragedy strikes, their love for each other and passion for music give them the strength to overcome hardships, rediscover hope, and inspire everyone around them.

The two lead actors have great chemistry, and the singing performance is believable. Yes, it really is their voices crooning in the movie. Honestly, we knew from Hugh Jackman’s Broadway background that he can sing and dance. Also, for those who don’t know, Kate Hudson released an album called “Glorious” in May 2024 and after listening to several of her songs, it’s obvious that she has the vocal chops!

I won’t spoil it, but partway through the movie, there is a turn of events that shifts the tone a bit. I will say that it highlights Kate Hudson’s character as someone who is tenacious and resilient. It’s no wonder that Kate a 2026 Golden Globe nominee for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy!

The film’s star-studded ensemble cast also features Michael Imperioli (Goodfellas), King Princess (Crush), Mustafa Shakir (Emancipation), Fisher Stevens (“Succession”) and Jim Belushi (“Saturday Night Live”).

Overall, this is an entertaining and terrific movie!
