5 out of 5 stars Everybody should own this CD........2007-05-13

This show quickly became my second favorite musical of all time. (Phantom of the Opera is number one.) I listened to this CD three times and was then able to sing along with all of the songs. This show is all about dating and mating which makes it appropriate for all young and older adults. I highly recommend this CD to everybody!

5 out of 5 stars Great show & GREAT CD.......2007-03-27

I enjoyed the show so much I went to see it twice, I was delighted to find there was a CD. This is a great quakity item.

5 out of 5 stars I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.......2007-03-23

My wife and I had just gotten back from New York and we had seen the off-broadway play "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" and thoroughly enjoyed it. This CD is great and whenever we hear it we think of that great night at the play and we laugh as if we were at the play itself.

4 out of 5 stars Change the disc please.......2007-01-04

ILYYPNC is neither a great musical revue nor a bad revue. It is simply a very good attempt at trying to make a bad situation look good (or a good situation look bad). It isn't a CD that I will listen too very often (such as PERSONALS - London Cast or RENT) but it also isn't one that will end up in a future yard sale of long forgotten CDs either. It is a bit above a mediocre musical, a bit contrived and somewhat predictable in its presentation, but you still should give it a shot to form your own opinion. As for me, perhaps I will attempt my own production with my theatre troupe in the future as it does have some good material along with some of its shortcomings. Purchasing this CD has at least cemented this on my list of "plays to look into further".

3 out of 5 stars Funny, but Forgettable........2006-11-20

I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERCECT, NOW CHANGE is a musical revue about love, dating, and marriage. The musical is composed of short scenes that begin with the creation of Adam & Eve, then fastforwards through history to the present day where a set of people are preparing to go on a date. The trials of dating and the single scene are explored, as well as what people loose when they get married. The second half of the show deals with married relationships as well as love among the elderly.

I know that there are many people who really like this show. It is a smaller show which is a nice switch from huge-casts and big production number musicals. There really isn't a storyline either, which makes for a different and somewhat interesting experience. However, I really don't like the show. There are some things I can relate to and there are some snippets that I find funny. Overall, though I found the show to basically be a bunch of stereotypical mishmashed scenes without any purpose. I like stories with a plot. I like stories with a purpose. If something has a plot and no purpose, I can deal with it. If it has a purpose, but little plot, I can deal with it. Take away the plot and the purpose and then I have trouble dealing with it.

There are some who would refer to the show as being wholesome. That's not true. The show is somewhat harmless, but it is not wholesome. It's not a show you can take a family to see. Much of the material is in the PG-13 range, though some definitely flies in R-rated territory. There's some minor foul language and lots and lots of sexual innuendo. The scenes are built upon a secular post-modern American worldview and if you don't share this worldview, some of the material is offensive.

The only song on the soundtrack that I thoroughly enjoyed is the song "Shouldn't I Be Less In Love With You?" The song is sung by a married man singing to his wife about his wonderment at how much he still loves her after all the years they've been married and all the things they've gone through. It's a wonderful, touching song. It's the only song that is memorable.

There are a few other tunes that are enjoyable, though not as memorable. These include:

"Why? `Cause I'm a Guy"

"On the Highway of Love"

I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE is an original musical revue. The lyrics are mostly funny and the cast members have great voices. However, the lack of plot and purpose make most of the material here forgettable.

3 out of 5 stars Hamlet sound track - Patrick Doyle.......2006-03-10

I spent a lot of time trying to get hold of this CD but I must say I am mildly disappointed. I thought Patrick Doyle's music for Branagh's Henry V was brilliant and that was why I was determined to obtain this sound track as well. Henry V is not Hamlet in terms of theme and plot but I think the music here tends to be too low key and lacking in drive, unlike Henry V. It is still very good in places and clearly the work of an excellent composer, but not quite up to Doyle's previous standard.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful masterpiece!!.......2002-02-22

Patrick Doyle has truly composed an awesome piece of work. The score is so well done that you can feel the emotion coming through the music alone. This is by far my favorite soundtrack and I listen to it quite often.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic collaborations.......2001-06-12

Doyle fans are aware that he collaborates regularly with actor/director, Kenneth Brannagh. With the Hamlet score, he again writes powerful complementary music which also stands alone as worthy to be performed in concert. I would be interested to hear lengthier tracks such as accompanied the lengthy, but indeed beautiful and patient, movie. (The only mistake was Billy Crystal in the movie. I thought Robin Williams did fine work.) Although, I confess, this is my least listened to in my soundtrack collection, I do enjoy it, and believe it deserves accolades.

5 out of 5 stars Patrick Doyle's finest score.......2000-06-26

This is certainly one of my top 3 Patrick Doyle scores and a towering achievement. The score unfolds like a great romantic symphony encompassing several moods from serenity and inner peace ("In Pace"), to violence and lush gothic undertones ("The Ghost", "Now, could I drink hot blood"), and a finaly sense of joyous celebration ("Fanfare", "What Players are they?"). After listening constantly to Mr. Doyle's scores for "Henry V", "Much ado about nothing" and "Frankenstein", I thought he could never top such achievements and somehow he did: "Hamlet" is a masterpiece of thematic inventiveness and dramatic power. The playing is wonderful and the engineering is very clear, taking full advantage of Air Lyndhurst's glorious acoustics. If you are a fan of british classical music or a Shakespeare fan (or even better, a fan of Patrick Doyle), don't pass up this CD. Great film music. No: great music. Period!
