| I couldn't get past the major miscasting of Daniel Day-Lewis as Guido Contini. As for cutting ''Be on Your Own,'' I imagine they wanted Yeston to write a new number for Luisa that could be Oscar-eligible. So you wound up with the stripteasy (and dreary) ''Take It All,'' which actually did get an Oscar nomination for Best Song. I thought the Academy should've nominated another new song instead: ''Cinema Italiiano,'' which was livelier and more fun. |

| Just for the hell of it, I threw the soundtrack into my phone and I do actually listen to some it now and then. The orchestration under Penelope Cruz doing "A Call From The Vatican" is pretty thrilling. I find "Take it All" to be a fine song on its own out of context, but, of course, it pales in comparison to "Be On Your Own" in context. I always find I like the idea of "Cinema Italiano," but tire of it before it finishes. | |

| Eh, i find that song to not only be forced in (in a re-write of the Press character that doesn't help the themes and conflict of the story), but musically lazy and lyrically awkward in many spots. I definitely don't think it deserved an Oscar nod. It's also staged in seemingly the only way Rob Marshall can conceive of a musical number in a movie... it's so unimaginative and tiresome. Same for "Take It All". | |
