Song Sung Blue (out Jan 1) is based on a true story and explores the interesting world of music impersonators. Mike (Hugh Jackman) and Claire (Kate Hudson) meet in the 1980s and create a tribute band honouring the work of Neil Diamond and Patsy Cline. Yes, there’s drama and tragedy, but the film wisely avoids including a formulaic villain (such as a dodgy manager). They’re likeable characters and you want them to succeed. Grade: B+.
