Biopics aren’t the only way to honor an artist’s music, and Craig Brewer’s (Hustle & Flow, Dolemite Is My Name) Song Sung Blue is living proof. It stars Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman as a married couple and Neil Diamond cover band out of Milwaukee. Mashable’s entertainment editor calls it “uplifting, heart-wrenching, and wondrous all at once.” And, yes, there are plenty of Diamond songs to enjoy throughout the film.
Song Sung Blue also stars Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Jayson Warner Smith, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens, and Jim Belushi.
It’s still floating around in theaters, but if you prefer to watch it from your couch, here are all the streaming details you need to know.
What is Song Sung Blue about?
Based on the incredible true story of Lightning and Thunder, a Neil Diamond cover band, Song Sung Blue follows Mike and Claire Sardina (Jackman and Hudson) as the musical married couple. “Together they craft electric chemistry, rousing song numbers, and a love story that hits with the force of a runaway car,” writes Mashable’s Kristy Puchko. Ultimately, it tells the story of how love and music can help us overcome tragedy and trauma. Bring tissues.
