The movie was charming and funny in parts, but ultimately too fluffy and flawed to carry any real weight. And the soundtrack kind of feels the same way. The produced tracks are a grab bag: spunky, hollow electro pop from Spiral Beach, slightly grittier pop from Hard-Fi and The Subways, plus a front row seat to Tom Freund's best Dylan impression. And most of Christophe Beck's jazzy, minimalist score cues sound like they were ripped straight from episodes of "Mad About You":
Our 2¢: Netflix a season of "Mad About You". Or swallow some bleach. Whichever hurts less.
Our helpful 2¢: Check out CB's far superior score for YEAR OF THE DOG instead.
