Inspired by true events: In 'Song Sung Blue', two unlucky musicians, Mike (Hugh Jackman) and Claire Sardina (Kate Hudson), who are still dreaming of their big breakthrough, make a bold new start in midlife. They form a Neil Diamond tribute band and prove that it's never too late to find the love of your life and follow your dreams... A feel-good movie with a "cry along" guarantee - Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson shine as a musical on-screen duo that you take so much to your heart that you (almost) feel just as much sympathy for them.
Mike now wants to put on a really great stage production, with glittery costumes and all the trimmings. On the keyboard and as co-singer: Claire. The duo "Lightning and Thunder" is born and quickly achieves local fame in Milwaukee with their renditions of Neil Diamond classics.
"Song Sung Blue" is based on the true story of the musical duo Mike and Claire Sardina. He is a dry alcoholic, she is actually a hairdresser by profession. Both have grown-up daughters. And then they start up again together in mid-life. What a happy ending! If only a stroke of fate didn't get in the way, plunging Claire into deep depression - and Mike into pure despair.
