Not since Neighbors has a soundtrack completely killed a movie for me. The script was good. The main actors were good. The directing was good BUT...
Some sub-pretentious idiot who was given a "Classical Music For Dummies" CD walked in and said, "Ya know what'd class this picture up? Classsssical Mee-ewsic!" Add proceeded to put every song from Classical Music For Dummies on the soundtrack. Only Bolero at the beginning made any sense as a clever throwback to the movie 10.
It made me hate this otherwise 6-7 star movie and give it a 3.
Seriously - get a not-stupid music guy and rescore the whole thing. Listen to Mahler's 5th, for instance.
GRRRRR!
