Two losers who were given more than they could handle in life. Then they found each other, the music of Neil Diamond, and it got them back on their feet. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson act, sing and live in this biopic inspired by true stories.
Mike Sardina (Hugh Jackman) makes a living impersonating many times more successful performers and singing their songs on various entertainment shows. The constantly beaten Claire (Kate Hudson) tries to earn a living in the same way. When the two meet, love is like a beam, despite their previous bitter experiences. And since, despite the circumstances, things start to work out quite well in their personal lives, they decide to join forces professionally. They form a band that plays exclusively the music of the famous singer Neil Diamond, whose "Sweet Caroline" is one of the immortal songs. With Diamond's repertoire, they tour stations all over America and soon find themselves on the verge of fame. But luck is a fickle bitch and knows well that the one who is in the air is the one who is most likely to crash to the ground. And these two are something like a lightning rod when it comes to the blows of fate. The advantage of a person who has hit rock bottom, however, is that they can lean on someone to get back up. Like Mike and Claire.
According to director Craig Brewer, the resulting film was greatly helped by the chemistry that developed between the film's protagonists on and off camera. "We all completely agreed. The two of them played together so perfectly that even in an ideal scenario we would not have dared to imagine. I have never experienced so many crew members standing at the monitor while shooting a film and watching that concert," says the director, who believes that audiences in cinemas will feel the same way.
