Saw a Christmas morning screening at the Drafthouse yesterday. Enjoyed it a lot. Hugh's so damn talented & his Lightning character is a lovable sad sack with a dark past who can't let go of his silly dream. Hudson's performance is probably the best work she's ever done.

It's not Amadeus. Or Rocket Man. And they took some liberties w/ the characters in order to punch the story up. I wouldn't recommend watching the 2008 documentary of the same name because the real Lightning & Thunder (Mike & Claire) were nowhere near as likeable as Hugh and Kate's characters. And Jim Belushi has lost so much weight I did a doubletake when he first appeared on screen.

It's got a nice mix of humor, nostalgia, and heart string tugging to cover all the bases. It might be worth the price of admission just to hear them jamming out Crunchy Granola Suite in their garage.

This was discussed in a different thread a few weeks back. I'm definitely going to watch it. I'd watch Kate Hudson watch paint dry. Not a musical fan, but this isn't a traditional musical.

Yeah, musicals are my least favorite movies and this definitely isn't of that traditional mode. It's about real people who want to perform and how interpreting someone else's songs lets them be more than they are in their normal, barely scraping by lives. 

It's a movie about musicians that play music from time to time. Nobody breaks out into spontaneous choreographed songs disguised as conversations. That Thing You Do is a good example.

Saw this a couple of weeks ago and it really hit home. Watching people pursue the thing they love to do most was pretty cool. It has parts that just tug at your heart with what happens to both of them, but man I loved it. Hugh Jackman really did Neil Diamond justice in my opinion. Would and will watch again. Jackman and Hudson also have really good chemistry as well. It was just a good freaking film that we need more of.
