Problem with dialog

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2010)

I hadn't been too interested in seeing this but after all the press and positive comments I realized I had to give it a go. Glad I did. My wife and I enjoyed this film very much and since we are both Facebook members it was interesting, as well. However, we had a lot of trouble understanding the dialog during many of the scenes where the characters were in a noisy location; i.e., bar, dance club, etc. Having been big fans of "The West Wing" over the years we were expecting some great dialog from Sorkin but I'm afraid we missed quite a lot of it due to the strong background music playing through many scenes. I'm wondering if others experienced the same thing - either in the theater or on a DVD screener or was it just my TV sound settings. Guess we'll have to watch it again with sub-titles.
