Title: Almost better than the movie!
Review: I enjoyed the movie, but the music absolutely blew me away!I greatly appreciated the fact that the actors & actresses did their own singing (& dancing) ... it's nice to see evidence of their true talent occasionally. Listening to the soundtrack makes me want to watch the movie again, just to see the parts where they're doing the 'scenes' from the soundtrack (which is most of the movie, *?*).The only reason I felt this didn't deserve a '5 star' rating is simply that Queen Latifah's rendition of "He Had It Comin'" (Track 17) was so far removed from the movie, in my opinion it just absolutely doesn't belong on this soundtrack. (Her other contributions to this movie, musically & otherwise, were fantastic I thought!) Track 18 is only slightly better, but at least it's a little jazzy, not the hip-hop rap stuff that so definitely is NOT what this movie & music were all about.If you at all enjoyed the movie, I think it's safe to say you'll really enjoy the soundtrack.
Is the review positive or negative?
