I just saw the film. I think it delivered what it promised. You don't expect Shakespeare in a film like this.

Badelt's score was quite good too, especially in the opening credits. I like the rhythmic, uplifting and melodic quality of the music. Not too often we hear an opening theme anymore in modern film:

Is the CD worth buying?

If you can get the CD at a low price, yes. It features a decent amount of score, around 30 minutes or so, and has three forgettable ( for me at least ) vocal tracks. Although I do have the CD it never really made a lasting impression, even though Badelt usually delivers as far as I'm concerned. Maybe it was the choice of tracks on the album.

Pick it up at a bargain price if you can.

It's a nice tune, but once you'd heard it for the two hundredth time (about half way through the movie) it loses its shine a bit.
