Useless dialogue, April 21 2004
By A Customer
I enjoyed the movie thoroughly, mainly due to the musical numbers. Arranged simply but performed with loving enthusiasm - I truly enjoyed (as a singer myself) and appreciated the harmonies. I ran to get the soundtrack. In this "we surely can't disclose everything" market you are never sure that what you are reading on the selections list is ALL there is. I read the list but hoped more would be included within the selections itself. I paid the money and out I went. I thought a musical soundtrack should be just that -- music. There was music deleted (CAN'T SAY NO from OKLAHOMA with the entrance of Debbie Reynolds was omitted -- why????). I could have done without the time wasting script dialogue (hackneyed to begin with) in favor of the rest of the score! If you're going to include dialogue regarding Debbie Reynolds, why not her surprise entrance at the end. The "IT'S DEBBIE REYNOLDS!" gasp of the two co-stars would have been more delightful to hear than the dialogue between songs. I feel like I was cheated. There was certainly time left over on this CD to put ALL the music in. Thoughtless and careless of the paying public (as usual). Perhaps rushing the product to the stores WAY before the movie's local release was more important. I expected more of the quality-driven Wilson(Hanks) connection. I hope in the future to see another CD edition with "never-before-released BONUS TRACKS" -- and I know I'll pay the extra money and purchase it again. A Disappointed and Ripped Off Music Lover!!

not worth it, April 21 2004
By A Customer
I have never been so disappointed in a soundtrack before. I just spent good money on the soundtrack from the movie "Connie and Carla" with a total playing time of 27 minutes how absolutely pathetic. I will think long and hard before I spend my money on another Sony Soundtrack in the future!

WHat was I thinking buying this mess???, Aug 23 2004
What was I thinking when I paid out good money for this mess of a dvd? I should have read these reviews first. Those who dislike this cd are completely correct...it is awful. But why then did so many, including me, enjoy the movie and the music in it? Because of the actors, the settings, the script and the over the top costumes ..all that combined with the music made a good on screen presentation, but with only the music (and useless dialogue) on the cd, it is a lost cause...you realize why Connie and Carla never made the big time as it is awful. I will give you an example...in the movie when they sing "Don't Cry for me Argentina" they wear over the top costumes, and at one point the entire audience rises as one, which their arms outstretched over their heads, and looks in their eyes that suggest they are undergoing a religious experience. It is funny. Just the song itself is not funny. The entire cd is like that. I truly miss the twenty bucks I paid for this thing. I amsure the twenty and I could find something else to do together that would be much more rewards. Do recommend the movie though!
