What fun! This soundtrack of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical overflows with glossy, ol' fashioned '60s-style pep. It won't win any awards for innovation, but it may well be one of the most feel-good releases of the year. While not quite as super-energetic as the original Broadway cast, the new crew ain't too shabby: Nikki Blonsky delivers as Tracy Turnblad and Zac Efron (High School Musical) makes for a devoted boyfriend, and the supporting cast gleefully embraces the show's silly-but-generous spirit. John Travolta (who gets to utter the particularly ironic line "it's been years since someone asked me to dance") goes drag as Tracys mom, Edna, while Michelle Pfeiffer's slight stiffness is appropriate for her uptight character, especially on the cha-cha "(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs." After Mama Morton in Chicago, Queen Latifah puts in another brassy turn as Motormouth Maybelle ("Big, Blonde and Beautiful," which is then reprised by Travolta and Pfeiffer). The show's authors, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, have written three new numbers for the movie: the rollicking (and first single) "Ladies' Choice," "New Girl in Town" and "Come So Far." In addition, the CD also includes two tracks that aren't in the film but were in the show: "Cooties," sung by Aimee Allen, and "Mama, Im a Big Girl Now," sung by all three Tracy Turnblads: Blonsky, Ricki Lake (from the source movie) and Marissa Jaret Winokur (from the original Broadway cast). --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Reviews
. . . and then I couldn't turn it off . . .
Rating: 5
Truly, I think this CD should have an "addictive" warning label on it. It's beginning to interfere with my studies. Almost entirely clean, I would caution parents that a few songs contain some pretty explicit sexual references. While I would have loved the music at age nine, I'm pretty confident my parents would not have wanted me going around quoting some of these lyrics. Try age 13 and above . . . but other than that, this truly is just all around good fun. I'm a huge Brittany Snow fan, and her song "New Girl in Town" makes me happy every time I hear it . . . Nikki Blonsky is stellar in her role as the overweight dancing queen, and Zac Efron . . . well, I never thought I'd admit it, but he can SING! Of course, Elijah Kelly and Amanda Bynes do more than justice to their roles, and Michelle Pfeiffer is . . . well, pretty intense . . . and John Travolta as a woman? I'm not even gonna go there. Just get the CD. You won't regret it.
Great Soundtrack
Rating: 5
I bought this soundtrack because I loved the movie. After listening to the soundtrack, I love it just as much as the movie.
I can't wait for the movie to come out on DVD so I can order it and have both.
I highly recommend this CD.
best soundtrack i own
Rating: 5
i bought this cd knowing i would love it in the first place. but it definitely exceeded my own expectations. the songs are so inspiring and lively that i can't help but dance in my car! the only thing that i questioned was the cooties song towards the end bc i never remembeed hearing it when watching the movie. and it sounded too modern for the time setting of the plot. but either way, it was a fun song and i have nothing to complain over. i can't wait to buy the dvd! what a fun movie and soundtrack!
