Rolfe Kent - Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2009

Tracks list

       Silva Screen Records released the soundtrack album for Ghosts of
Girlfriends Past, a romantic comedy in which a contemporary womanizer gets his
comeuppance in the manner of Ebenezer Scrooge, on the same day that it issued
the soundtrack album for 17 Again, another rom-com with a magical element.
That's appropriate, since both scores were composed by Rolfe Kent, and he has
taken a similar approach to each, in that he has taken his jobs way too
seriously. Ghosts is a better score than 17 Again, particularly because it's a
more consistent work than its scattershot partner, but, like 17 Again, it is
hard to identify as music for a comedy. Kent would blame his director, Mark
Waters, who "wanted drama from this music, not just a romantic-comedy score but
a sense that the stakes are high...." Kent has accommodated him, providing
orchestral music full of feeling with emotional highs and lows. Trouble is, the
stakes aren't really high. Ghosts, in addition to being a broadly played comedy,
is also nearly unwatchable junk, its only redeeming element being Michael
Douglas' performance in a small part in which he does the best impersonation of
Robert Evans since Dustin Hoffman's in Wag the Dog. Of course, the lack of
quality of the movie itself is not the composer's fault, and he is bound to obey
his director, but the inappropriate music is just one more thing that makes
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past a waste of time.
