Bio-pic about Neil Diamond (Hugh Jackman) and Patsy Cline (Kate Hudson) impersonators who marry, and go on to regional fame in 1990's Wisconsin. Heartfelt and refreshingly small scale production is a lot of things we don't see that much in contemporary studio financed films; it's about blue collar, traditional, normal looking people and treats them with genuine sympathy and affection. It feels almost like a movie from an alternate universe. More films with this tone and attitude would be appreciated. A simple pleasure of a movie. ***
