I thought at first that Song Sung Blue was a biopic about Neil Diamond.

It’s so much worse. Song Sung Blue is based on the true story about two down-on-their-luck musicians in Milwaukee who become local icons by performing as a Neil Diamond tribute band.

It’s a biopic. Of a Neil Diamond tribute band.

And I think it’s probably going to be huge . It’s got Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, the songs of Neil Diamond, and it’s so sacharrine you may lose a few of those loose molars. And yes, the boomers are gonna eat it up, but also: Who among us can resist “Sweet Caroline”?

Song Sung Blue from director Craig Brewer ( Hustle & Flow , the Footloose remake) opens on Christmas Day.
