Cheese lovers-allow me to make an analogy. For a grilled cheese
\nsandwich, sometimes Velveeta is the best cheese to use. It doesn’t
\nharden or yellow like sharp cheddar. Yes, sharp cheddar is higher
\nquality and more authentic than processed cheese, but Velveeta
\nstill does a better job.<\/p>\n
Producers Robert Kraft (no pun intended) and Laura Ziffren took
\nthis idea and came up with the soundtrack to
\nThe Full Monty<\/i>. The soundtrack is filled with campy, fun 70s
\ndisco and rock songs as well as some thoughtful, jazzy instrumental
\noriginal scores. Sister Sledge, Gary Glitter and the supreme camp
\nking, Tom Jones make appearances on
\nThe Full Monty<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Like the movie, the soundtrack is dominated by light-hearted
\nmoments. The movie and the soundtrack also have poingant moments.
\n“The Lunchbox Has Landed” is a sad piece, arranged by Anne Dudley.
\nIt features strings, mandolins and low brass, making it a moody
\npiece. Wonderfully arragned, this and the title track have elements
\nof classical music as well as jazz.<\/p>\n
Like the best soundtracks, the music triggers memorable scenes
\nin the movie for the listener. Don’t like the Donna Summer song,
\n“Hot Stuff”? Try hitting the skip button after thinking of the
\nhilarious scene when the five mates were groovin’ to the song in a
\nsocial service line.<\/p>\n
Lesser known acts like Hot Chocolate are featured on the
\nsoundtrack. After listening to “You Sexy Thing”, it makes you
\nwonder why that song has not been sampled to death or featured in
\n70s homage movies.<\/p>\n
The only flaw I see with the soundtrack is the social norms you
\nmay violate when listening to the soundtrack. Unless you have a
\nneurological disorder, you will have the urge to re-enact the
\nclothes removing scenes if you are blaring “You Can Leave Your Hat
\nOn” by Tom Jones or “Rock And Roll Part 2” by Gary Glitter. If you
\nhave a house, make sure the drapes are pulled when trying this.
\nYou’ve been warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":27459,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[5729],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-38829","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-soundtrack","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=38829"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=38829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
