(4 out of 5 stars)

"There is lots of silly humor and broad farce in the film accompanying this soundtrack, and I think composer Rachel Portman did a great job of capturing that, for example with the opening tracks on this CD. Some of the tracks are extremely repetitious therefore monotonous, and so, leave the impression that the music was written for the film only, with little or no thought given to the fact that it would be released as a CD soundtrack as well. But there are enough good tunes here for 4 stars, and it's definately worthwhile. I'm especially fond of Canzonetta (track 7), Daddy (track 10), Where the Spirits Soar (track 19), and Rigoletto (track 22). An added bonus and bit of hilarity is provided by the fact that between each track there are brief excerpts of dialogue from the movie that will make you laugh out loud :)))David Rehak
