Fine score... too bad the movie is rather forgettable mess with mostly silly childish jokes and very weak plot.

I know Shapiro reads the board, I'd be careful Petr on bashing the movie too much. Don't want you to get in trouble with him. I know you run his website and are in touch with him. Wouldn't want him to be sent a screen shot of your comments by some member or something or he stumbles upon it and sees it. Just looking out for you man smile

Looks better than WHY HIM, in any case. Here's hoping for audio clips soon.

Talking negatively about a film isn't nearly as bad as trashing your boss on Facebook.

My boss is named Darren and is a heck of a great boss. How dare you presume to write negative about me in a way that could get me fired from my job at Varese, James. This is beyond incredible and scared the heck out of me. Slander pure and simple and you are trying to get me fired. This is a new low and maybe courts should be involved at this point. First you are making fun of people who are bi-polar and now writing untruths about my exceptional boss Darren. Varese and Cutting Edge are very fortunate to have him and I'm proud to work under him. You also would not know anything that is posted on my Facebook page because I blocked you over 2 years ago. I ask you to leave me alone, but you keep stalking me via Facebook via someone else. Please leave me alone. You win, I'm scared, I'm actually terrified now of you and what you are doing. You win James. Also I would never in a million years post anything negative about you so your boss at Cypress College would find out. Just shameful behavior, very shameful James.

I'm close to getting the courts involved with this slander James. My attorney will be informed in the morning.

You're so full of it you have brown eyes.

I never was threatening to anyone. I just asked to be left alone.

Beware, if you're so damn afraid of me I plan to be at CF this weekend.

I only ask you leave me alone and I'll do the same.

Anyone know if there will be a score album or at the very least a soundtrack with one or two cuts by Shapiro.

You are seriously bipolar.

Not buying the suddenly switch to Pollyanna. Just stay away from me.

I don't get this thread.
Who's arguing with who? And why?
And is the score any good, or just the usual generic Shapiro shit?

That's because someone decided to remove their posts and replace them with smilies.

Probably something they should have done before posting something hypocritical and getting called out on it.

You're better off not knowing.

Yeah... nothing like not standing behind something someone writes... shows true integrity!


But to get back to topic...


According to my info roughly 31 minutes of score was recorded for the movie and although some sort of album seems to be planned, there most likely won't be anything from the score included... although there are some excellent moments starting with Main Title - kind of traditional catchy Shapiro's cue with more christmas-sy overlays - followed by a few comedy cues and quite good cues, which segue into the songs and especially the whole and quite long cue for the finale, which starts with rendition of "Deck The Halls", which is playing under massive destruction at the party, continues through car chase and whole bridge sequence, which at the end turns into quite funny rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"... (see Lacrimosa in Zoolander 2 for comparison) and then there is also quite nice cue for the ending of the movie...

I was told by my attorney that the least amount of communications I have with people who hassase me, bully me, stalking behavior or more, the better. She is well aware of the safety concerns I have for my family and I. Document everything she told me in regards to any kind of bullying or harrassement. She also gave me some great advice, "no one can make you fell less than without the help of you."


Back to the trailer it looks funny. This kind of humor always makes me giggle. Bridesmaid had me in stitches!

You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have used that term. It was insensitive and wrong of me.

I have a friend with bi-polar disorder and in my haste I didn't consider the fact that I was using a term that was insensitive and wrong.

Soundtrack album released by Interscope.

As expected... shittunes only and only songs + dialogues.
