Cheesiest soundtrack of all time?


The worst pseudo jazz I've ever heard.

I thought the use of music was pretty good.

If you're not taking any steps forward, you're not moving at all.

I'm okay with the soundtrack. Yeah, Sting was probably a bad choice, but then rest of it is pretty solid. The lonely sounding piano fits the mood of the movie wonderfully IMO.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

Desafinado... pseudo jazz? Wow, are you deluded.

It's puke jazz.

I hope it makes you so sick you vomit in your mouth and aspirate on it.

The soundtrack was brilliant. The fact that morons like you don't like it makes me like it even more.

Lol - right. It pains you that other people don't like your junk. This is junk jazz, the spoiled, cliched leftovers after the golden era has long been gone. The soundtrack is one giant cliche, that's why it's cheesy as hell.

You don't seem to understand that these songs came from the "golden era". Coltrane did a whole album of them with Johnny Hartman on vocals.

I don't think anyone would consider that the golden era of jazz. Go back a couple of decades..

I'll alert Antonio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz immediately.

Yep, I wouldn't mind it so much if they just said they don't like that type of music, but they have to add all these catch phrase descriptions that are completely off the mark. When they do this, they just show their lack of knowledge of the music.

I think some are convinced that Sting wrote these songs just for the film. Never mind that anyone with an inkling of music education knows that most of these songs have been part of the jazz repertoire since the 1940's.
