Gigli - A great score but needs some more

"I havn't seen the movie and I don't even know what it is about. I picked the score up the other day just to hear what it sounded like. And I have to tell you, I was impressed. A mixture of your typical "jazzy" rhythms intertwined with catchy melodies played on guitar are heard throughout most of the compositions. There are a few slow tracks which arn't bad either. I was just looking for more catchy melodies and a little longer soundtrack. However, the soundtrack explodes with a gospel "chior"-ish theme at the very end. A great way to bring the CD to a close. You can do without it but if you want to try something new with a little bit of old stuck right in there, this isn't a bad CD at all. Far from it and is recommended to those film score maniacs like myself. I hope this was helpful and if it was please vote right below. Thanks and if you ordered it, enjoy like I did."

"Wow! There's just no other way of putting it -- the GIGLI soundtrack brings all the magical moments of this landmark movie home to be savoured like fine Italian cuisine! If you've seen the film, you don't need me to tell you what a treasure such as this can add to ANY discerning music collection -- you've already revisited the wonders of GIGLI on your home stereo time and time again. For those who have yet to experience the movie -- and I must say, I envy you -- deprive yourself no longer by picking up this splendid soundtrack souvenir without delay, and if by chance Amazon or WalMart have the dvd in stock, pick that up too. There's never been anything quite like GIGLI, and if you follow the advice herein you'll be sure to know why!"
