4.0 out of 5 stars Catchy Music, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Soapdish: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The music for the movie "Soapdish" was conducted by Alan Silvestri, whose other famous score is for "Back to the Future". Most of the music is instrumental with mambo tones. I love this, and a lot of this music deals with the characters' situations in the movie, which are hysterical. There is one actual song on the soundtrack, "El Sol Tambien Se Pone", sung by Ludar, and that is my favorite track. Why? Probably because it's a good song to dance to and is really catchy. If you are a fan of the movie or of Alan Silvestri, buy this CD, you won't regret it.

Listen to a few of the tracks. It has a very mambo-tropical feel and brings back many funny moments from the movie. Great soundtrack.

This review is from: Soapdish: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

"Soapdish" is hands-down the funniest American movie of the 1990s. Infallibly. Still, I WILL concede that whether or not this is the greatest American comedy SOUNDTRACK of the 1990s is perhaps (PERHAPS) up for debate. Even if it IS surpassed (which has yet to be established) by another score, you nonetheless won't regret having a listen to these brassy, latin-influenced, no-holds-barred orchestrations. They truly capture the irreverent, lunatic essence of the movie and get you cha-cha-cha-ing. It's a soundtrack guaranteed to pep up any gathering and cure even the deepest of operatic malaises. When Sally Field rants in the greatest scene in film comedy history: "And now you're all back! And I've ruined three lives! THREE LIVES! ME! America's Sweetheart!", satirical melodrama simply doesn't get any better than this. You'll likewise be hard put to find any better comedy soundtrack made in the past twenty years.
