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.

This lachrymose yarn ... believes very much in its own irresistibility. That such a claim proves borderline justified is mostly down to bravura performances from two old troopers and charming ones from two committed youngsters.

It’s easy listening, easy watching. A sequin-saturated, warm and funny blast from the past with top notes of drama and tragedy.

It’s almost too obvious to draw a parallel between the directorial approach and the pleasantly forgettable, unapologetically corny music at its rhinestone-encrusted heart, but this is the very definition of middle-of-the-road film-making.

3/ 5

This film is neither a polished biopic nor a glossy music drama. It is a tender salute to the quiet brilliance of small lives lived sincerely. The film falters when it indulges in melodrama, yet its heart is firmly in the right place.

Song Sung Blue is made with such falsely constructed schmaltz that it manages to fall into that camp anyway.
