IT’S NOT THE HOLIDAY SEASON UNLESS WE HAVE SOME KIND OF MOVIE MUSICAL GRACING OUR SCREENS. LAST YEAR, WE HAD TIMOTHée Chalamet’s Take on Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown; in 2023, we had had Chalamet as wonka; In 2022, we had the whitney houston music biopic; IN 2021, WE HAD West Side Story – You get the gist. This year, we have something we’ve never seen before: not an adaptation of preexistting ip (like Wonka or West Side Story) Nor A Musician Biopic (Like A Complete Unknown or I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMOBODY), But a Feature-Film Adaptation of Do Documentary About a husband-and-wiffe duo named lightning and thunder who sang neil diamond songs in milwaukee. Both Films Are Called Song sung blueBut Only One of The say is direct by DOLEMITE IS MY NAME and Hustle & Flow Filmmaker Craig Brewer Starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in Elaborate Wigs and December More Elaborate Wisconsin Accents. Jackman’s Musical Bona Fides are well-aestabished by now, and hudson had one of this year’s samppectly solid debut albums. Together, They Could Be Unstoppable.

It is not so much that jackman is playing a “Neil Diamond Impersonator,” Hudson’s Character Reminds Him, but in Fact a “Neil Diamond Interpreter.” That Said, it Mostly SEEMS LIKE He’s “Interpreting” Beloved Diamond Songs by Singing Them More or Less Exactly How they Wen Diamond Sings. IT’SE Easy to Laugh About A Feel-Good Movie Musical Starring Jackman Now, But Lest We Forget How Much Money The Greatest Showman Made Several Christmases Ago. This Thing – if you can remember the order the words of the title go in – COULD BE HUGE. Michael Imperioli, Jim Belushi, and King Princess (Congrats on the New Album) start out the Supporting Cast. If there anyone to places on the “Wisconsin Accent Accuracy,” My Money’s on Belushi.
