2.0 out of 5 stars Where's are the rest of the songs!, July 1, 2000

When I bought this I thought it would, more or less, have all the songs that where in the movie. Much to my surprise it only had the music that was composed for the movie. Which was actually quite good, but totalled about 30 minutes. And where are all the other pieces that were in the movie? :(

The title of that song is "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" by Baz Luhrmann. It is sometimes also called "The Graduation Song." Thought I'd help you all out.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the Music, more than the Soundtrack, August 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Big Kahuna: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1999 Film) (Audio CD)

There isn't enough music in the world spanning across genres like these Christopher Young compositions. I'd love to have more of this, tons of it. Where else would you find Hammond duets with a string quartet and accordion? Christopher Young scored music for the no man's land between Astor Piazzolla and Igor Stravinskji, Bill Frisell and Ute Lemper, klezmer and ECM, polka and Samuel Barber. It's a pity no one with a genuine interest for contemporary music will discover it, unless being caught by the movie. Young would deserve to be performed by the Berliner instead of "just" scoring for soundtracks. Forget the rest on this CD, that's plain accessories. Sound quality's top-notch, too, but who cares? Heaven don't come close than this.
