Review: Song Sung Blue

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson form a Neil Diamond tribute band in a different kind of faith-based movie — a pop nostalgia trip with a dark side.

Craig Brewer's film is a winning pop nostalgia trip with a dark side, based on the true story of Mike and Claire Sarina, who formed a Neil Diamond tribute band, performing as Lightning & Thunder.

The idea that it should just be applied to PG-rated calamity-meets-redemption Sunday-school soap operas micro-targeted to Evangelicals.

The movie is rooted in the holly holy dream of devotion to the church of Neil Diamond, making it a faith-based movie in its own way.

Author's summary: Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson star in a unique faith-based movie.
