4.0 out of 5 stars BUYER BEWARE The music is great (5 Stars), but product is defective., August 2, 2008

EDIT: Maybe I was too harsh on this expereince. Afterward Amazon promptly replaced the defective CD-R, with a new one. And since then the quality of their CD-R issues have risen dramatically. The last 2 CD-Rs I bought were as professional as they could be. I'm going to change my rating from 1 to 4 stars, as it more accurately represents my new expereince with this product and the music on it.

I just wanna point out that Amazon is sending out CD-Rs of this score and not pressed disc. Now you probably already new that. But what you should also know is that a good number of people are receiving disc that still have wet smudgible ink, and there is some unremovable residue of some kind that has dripped on the recored surface of the disc that makes it unplayable. I've had to return my disc for a replacement.

1.0 out of 5 stars Score Great, Product Terrible., August 2, 2008

This is a wonderful score, but this review is not about the music. Unfortunately, Amazon is not producing a wonderful product. My copy came with something that smears off the front side of the cd, and some sort of residue on the recorded side of the cd. The disc will not even play in my cd player.

If this were an isolated incident I wouldn't gripe, there's always one that goes wrong. But I am aware of four to six other people who have had the same experience when ordering this cd. Glue or residue on the cd making it unplayable. Who knows how many others there are I don't know about.

Amazon promised me a replacement, of course. I only hope the next one is produced to some kind of quality standard. Bad enough that they are charging us cd prices for a CD-R which has neither the quality or the lifespan of a commercially recorded cd. I hope they get their production process corrected.

4.0 out of 5 stars I guess I'm one of the lucky ones..., August 2, 2008

My CD came w/out any smudging or residue and so far it it's playing great. I do agree that this is a very cheaply made CD, but I guess at this point it's better than nothing.

I'll never understand why this film had such a crummy marketing campaign that saw the production of nearly NO TYPE OF MOVIE-TIE IN's what so ever.

How many crappy/undeserving/forgettable films get soundtrack treatments and this film, barely, gets *this*... I just don't get it.

Anyway --

Great,charming, fun film/score

Unbelievably cheap product.
