As peopled by John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, director Peter Chelsom's romantic fable mines a familiar vein: What if a pair of attractive protagonists engaged to others suddenly found themselves madly in love? If the premise is as vintage Hollywood as popcorn and sticky theater floors, its soundtrack is smartly contemporary, a collection of new songs (by Evan & Jaron, Shawn Colvin, Wood, Heather Nova, John Mayer, and Chantal Kreviazuk) and well-selected album cuts (by Annie Lennox, Nick Drake, Bap Kennedy, David Gray) filled out with a loopy slice of vintage Louis Armstrong ("Cool Yule") and jazzy solo piano score excerpt by film composer Alan Silvestri. The tone shifts warmly amid jangly alterna-pop, folk-tinged, and quieter, more jazz/blues flavored cuts. It's tasteful, sensual stuff--and largely devoid of the cloying bathos of similar Hollywood romantic fare. -Jerry McCulley

Awesome CD! Every song makes you remember the scene in the movie, which I loved! Can't get enough of John Cusack!
cute movie December 22, 2007

liked some of the songs - Shawn Colvin's in particular. Would have liked it ALOT more if it included the musical score at least once, instead of some (alot) of the filler that I don't recall hearing when I viewed the film!
Love it March 17, 2007

I really like this CD. In fact, "when you know" was the first dance at my wedding!

I know this is an older cd now, but I came across it again when I was cleaning out my cupboard. It's from one of my favourite movies ever. It's got some excellent songs on it, but I dropped a star from the ratings because it's missing a piece or two (especially the music where Jonathan is reading his obiturary). But I was so estatic that it had the beautiful song by Annie Lennox called Waiting in Vain. That had me hooked when I first saw the movie at the theatre. Also the next best song is when Jonathan was finally given the book he'd been looking for for so long by his fiance. It's called When You Know by Shawn Colvin. This cd is a little eclectic and it has something for everyone. You should listen to this cd; you'll love it.
