Review:
Featuring songs and an original score from painter, singer, and Devo
co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh (The Royal Tenenbaums, Pee Wee's Playhouse,
Shameless, and House of Lies), the soundtrack for the computer-animated
adventure-comedy Lego Movie, directed and co-written by Phil Lord and Chris
Miller, with whom Mothersbaugh worked on 2009's like-minded Cloudy with a
Chance of Meatballs and the 2012 big-screen comedy reboot of 21 Jump Street,
features 28 '80s-infused, appropriately quirky cuts, and boasts four versions
(including the Tegan and Sara-helmed flagship rendition) of the infectious
earworm of a theme song “Everything Is Awesome.”
