Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

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+.
