This review is from: Down With Love (Audio CD)

Yea my title is punny; that's ok. I saw this movie opening night and it was amazing! I saw this movie mostly because of Ewan McGregor and I loved it. It was one of his best performances. Because bith Ewan and Renee can sing (Moulin rouge, Chicago) they recorded a track for the credits. It is a wonderfull song and I would recommened the soundtrack just because of that one song. I bought the rest of the soundtrack and it is also very, very good! I suggest to buy the soundtrack now! Plus - go see the movie! The soundtrack includes Frank Sinatra and Astrud Gilberto's battling tracks of "Fly Me To the Moon (In Other Words)." Well here are the track listings, enjoy!
1- Down With Love - Michael Buble/Holly Palmer
2 - Barbara Arrives - Marc Shaiman
3 - Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) - Frank Sinatra/Count Basie And His Orchestra
4 - One Mint Julep - Xavier Cugat And His Orchestra
5 - For Once In My Life - Michael Buble
6 - Girls Night Out - Marc Shaiman
7 - Every Day Is A Holiday (With You) - Esthero
8 - Kissing A Fool - Michael Buble
9 - Barbara Meets Zip - Marc Shaiman
10 - Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) - Astrud Gilberto
11 - Love In Three Acts - Marc Shaiman
12 - Here's To Love - Ewan McGregor/Renee Zellweger

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Accompaniment to the Film, May 19, 2003

This review is from: Down With Love (Audio CD)

Having seen the movie and heard the soundtrack, I must say the music here is swingin'. I had never heard Michael Buble before, but he has three tracks on the CD and his voice fits the tone and time of the film perfectly. Two versions of "Fly Me to the Moon" were used interchangably in the film and I was glad to see both included on the CD. The score was interspersed with the vocal tracks but didn't interrupt the flow of the CD.

And of course- the final track featuring Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger... Man, Ewan can sing and while Renee seemed a little outmatched at time she still sounded lovely.

On the enhanced part of the disc is the video for "Here's to Love", which is seen in the movie with the end credits and links to the official sites (movie and soundtrack) and artist sites.

Except for a few instrumentals (Tracks 2, 6, 9 and 11), this album would get 5 stars. The instrumentals are entertaining, but after several replays, they can becoming taxing. I was disappointed the best version of "Down with Love," Bobby Darin's version, was not included, but this CD is worth discovering Michael Buble (I went out and picked up his solo CD).

I recommend the CD. The standards have the same zip and appeal of the flick . . . it's not the original, and they're not Rock and Doris, but they still make you smile, and this CD will still have you smiling if you are stuck in traffic, or help you keep the stress to a minimum in your cubicle.
