Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman star in "Song Sung Blue."

Getting your player ready...

There are a lot of ways that “Song Sung Blue” — a film about real Milwaukee Neil Diamond tribute act Lighting and Thunder — could have gone awry.

The premise alone could be a “Saturday Night Live” sketch, and in a different world, the movie would be a broad comedy and star Will Ferrell. Instead, it hews closer to tragedy and stars Hugh Jackman (who couldn’t do irony if he tried) as Mike Sardina, aka Lightning, and Kate Hudson, as Mike’s devoted wife and bandmate, Claire, aka Thunder.
