No, it's not the John Williams score...

Australian band Empire Of The Sun has scored Dumb And Dumber To. I wonder if they used any of Todd Rundgren's themes...

Any word of a soundtrack release?

Has anyone heard the score?

I saw the film a couple of days ago (which was rather mediocre), but I can't remember anything of the music beyond the songs. Hopefully, I'll be able to sample it on a soundtrack release.

Interesting. Certainly a bit of change in direction for them. I have their albums, which I really like. I'd like to hear this, as I have zero interest in seeing the film.

Doesn't seem like a soundtrack is available.

I'm also not familiar with Empire of the Sun at all (do they take their name from the Spielberg film, the book or the actual empire of the sun, i.e. Japan?). Does anyone have any recommendations?

You're bound to have heard 'We Are The People' Thor. It seemed omnipresent on release a few years ago. Good tune.

I did hear a COUPLE little snippets of score that I heard in the first movie. Particular when the Jim Carrey character looks at a certain girl and he gets full of love. I also heard a couple songs from the first if I'm not mistaken.

Not as good as the first film, but it had some funnies smile

Just two tracks of score, it seems.

I just saw the film, and I really liked it. Lots of laughs, a sequel that works in most ways. Much better than I feared.

Also fun to hear Todd Rundgren's "Lloyd Meets Mary"-theme from the first film briefly in a scene in the sequel.

By the way, if there ever will be a film number 3, I can almost guarantee it will be called
DUMB AND DUMBER TREE. :-D
