The Song DVD is a US-produced feature film inspired by the Song of Solomon. It's a tale of faith, family and music, based on the Old Testament account of king Solomon's life.

Aspiring musician Jed King is wise beyond his years but struggles living in the shadow of his father. When he meets Rose, the pair quickly fall in love and marry, inspiring Jed to write 'The Song'. The track is an unexpected hit, propelling Jed into the limelight. But can his faith, and their marriage, survive the trials and temptations of life on the road?

Filmed on location in Nashville and Kentucky, The Song is bursting with American roots and folk music, which will delight musicians and country-and-western fans. If you liked recent hit movie Walk the Line, then you'll love this.

I feel that I should give some context to my review - Country music is my guilty pleasure so films set in Nashville have a special place in my heart. I have also had the pleasure of meeting Kyle Idleman, the Pastor, author and speaker behind City On A Hill - and I've heard him speak of his heart behind the films they produce. But even without that background I think I'd have still enjoyed The Song. The film is gritty in places, has strong use of scripture and practical application, it makes us look at our relationships anew. The acting is good quality and the film doesn't shy away from difficult issues. The narration of scripture did occasionally feel out of place for me, but it proudly stands as a faith based film with some really good cinematography. I wouldn't recommend the film for young children, but with teens and older this would work as a family film although it's really aimed at couples in the way that 'Fireproof' was. Lastly the music - I loved the soundtrack and if you're a fan of Country music, you'll want to see The Song.
