Good movie, atrocious Music score!
The unfortunate thing about this movie is that with the exception a a few brief moments, the music ruins this funny and well done film.I am not fussy about my music, I loved Moulin Rouge and I have no problem with modern music in period style films, as long as that music is GOOD music.The problem is that the music in this film is absolutly horrid!The cast and the crew should have killed the composer for doing what he did to this film. There are scenes that get lost in the noise of the loud and obnoxious score.It is really too bad because if you can somehow manage to ignore the music(and that is a very hard thing to do) it is a very funny movie with a great cast.I think the only other problem I had was the passing of the jewel scene that seemed so ridiculously idiotic and much too long.I won't buy this DVD because I just couldn't stand to hear the music again. IF they ever try to do a deluxe version of this film, not likely as it bombed, I would suggest they tank the entire score except the last few minutes and redo it. The funny thing is most of the reviews I read when the movie came out said the same thing, good film except the score.
