Critics Consensus

Bringing a sweet amount of dignity to the art of imitation, Song Sung Blue mostly avoids becoming a mere cover of the documentary on which it's based thanks to Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson's heartfelt performances.

The stars’ charisma outshines the flaws of “Song Sung Blue,” a satisfying portrait of two Neil Diamond lovers who weathered hard times and sang their way into the hearts of others back then and now with this admirable film.

If the narrative doesn’t get you down, then maybe the dialogue will, because it’s perhaps even more leadened and cheesy than many might stomach.

The determination to find greatness in the ordinary gives “Song Sung Blue” a magical, unforced luminescence that much more immodest films usually lack.

Drama adds depth, but the movie’s key lure remains the catchy tunes penned by Diamond.

Feels like it is exploiting people who did not ask for the spotlight in the way celebrities have.

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson sound amazing together and the energy the songs themselves create translates into their performances.

LIked everything, especially the singing, with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson doing their own singing! Kate's voice is incredible!! A touching, feel good movie that left most mostly crying with joy or occasionally sadness! Best movie in many years!
