The film I have not seen so far, so I was initially suspicious when I bought this CD under coaxing of some film enthusiasts friends. But after the first song, I realized that it was worth it. The peppy swing and jazz pieces are simply always great to hear, and Richard Gere, Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta Jones surprisingly can convince fully as a singer. So you can see in this soundtrack are singers, melodic and absolutely appropriate texts in full compliance. In addition to all the songs of the movie / musical (also the song CLASS, which was cut in the film), can be found on the CD nor a bonus song by Zellweger and Zeta-Jones, and two score melodies, a Rapversien the CELL BLOCK TANGO and the song by Anastacia LOVE ISA CRIME. Of course the latter two passenb not perfect to the atmosphere disturbs however not when enjoying this CD. Conclusion: The CD is really recommendable, but it pays well, to see the movie, because then you can better understand the lyrics!
