It's
little surprise how Gridiron Gang sounds, either, with a big
theme pounded out by orchestra augmented by plentiful synths, and softer Thomas Newman - ish
piano music (a style previously heard in Rabin's National Treasure) for the inevitable tender moments.
There are actually several other
themes, one slightly bluesy one for
piano that is probably meant to be a slight parody of Max Steiner's
theme from A Summer Place, a really seedy but evocative jazzy
theme for Goodman's character («The Scam») and a warm - hearted
little action
theme («This Is It»).
