Worth the money

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The album's cues fall under three major categories. There's the deep, somber piano-and-string writing that accompanies the film's emotional center (exemplified in the standout cue, "Who Will Hurt You?"), the fun, jazz and organ-laden music that plays as the lawyers duel and the jury is selected (see "Cheaper By The Dozen") and then the actiony double-cross / chase cues (the most ferocious of which is "Shark Tactics"). A hint of New Orleans sleaze is omnipresent in the brass writing all throughout (but is especially noteworthy in "Dumb Witnesses")."
