Mistake

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2007)

Outstanding film, and Amy Adams was perfect. The songs she sang were incredible.
The horrible song by Underwood that ended the film nearly ruined my experience, however. Why couldn't they have given Amy another fantastic, memorable song to sing, instead of some awful country-pop song?
One huge mistake: at the ball, the "King's Waltz" is not a waltz at all. How could these obviously talented composers have made such a boner? About halfway through, they play a bunch of eighth notes in groups of three, probably in 12/8 time, to sort of make it sound like a waltz, but we're not fooled! It sounded like a two step, and the dancers were all dancing two step dances, so it obviously wasn't enough of a waltz to dance a waltz to!! Plus, that song is almost as bad as the schmaltzy outro song.
