Song Song Blue tells the real-life story of a couple named Mike Sardina (Hugh) and his wife Claire (Kate Hudson), who form a band as a tribute to Neil Diamond’s music in 1987.

Another critic said, “NOT a Hugh Jackman fan anymore.”
“I’m not a fan of his,” another agreed. “I don’t believe he ever loved his first wife.”

Some discussed the ages of the actor, 57, and actress, 50. And others claimed the actor was going through a “midlife crisis.”
“So he has now moved on to a younger one to make himself look and feel younger,” one said.
“He looks like he has aged . Oh wait, must be because his partner is younger,” said another.

“What’s the milestone?” one asked. “An aging male dealing with a midlife crisis through a younger woman?”
Meanwhile, fans said, “they deserve to be happy.”
“He looks so much more comfortable and relaxed!” one said.
Another wrote, “They actually match really nicely.”
