Decent movie, but I feel like half the songs are so diconnected from the actual story.

Like the duet with Rumi and the demon-dude the first time they actually meet. They're all about having found their soulmate and shit, without knowing anything about eachother, and afterwards they're back to talking to eachother like they're complete strangers. I know this isn't exactly new in these kinds of movies, Disney has done it for about 60 years, but at least in other movies they actually seem to give half a shit about eachother after singing about their hidden love for this total stranger.

It just seems like most of the song were written before the story was written, to make sure the songs will carry the movie to success, instead of making something that actually makes sense.
