The Song

A faith-based parable that draws from the Bible as much as it does from every perils-of-showbiz clich in the book.

If wisdom isn't one of your character's defining traits, should Solomon really be your model?

Watching The Song is like listening to rock music on a religious station; you think, "Not bad for Christian radio."

Normally, you can't lose with good material. Although "The Song" has plenty of sincerity and decent tunes going for it, it slips away from its message when it strays too far from its source: the Old Testament's Song of Solomon.

A ceaseless, hurtin' tune of a music-driven romantic drama, "The Song" plays out its tired refrain with all the subtlety of a Sunday sermon.
