My god, what a fantastic soundtrack. As a seasoned soundtrack-buyer I can tell you - it's a rarity to find every song from the movie on a soundtrack. Yet every one is on this baby. Every single one! Even the bits o' ones you hear in the distant background. I had to watch the movie again to check, especially after I read one of the reviews about how none of the songs from the movie were on the soundtrack.... I think they may have been watching the wrong movie.
P.S, You'll be out searching Amazon for an album by each one of the artists on this fabulous cd!

First off, tracks 1 and 5, Blue Skies for Everyone and Round and Round, respectively, are by folky popster Bob Schneider, NOT Lonely Land!!!

And these tracks make the album worth every cent! Like Tom Waits mixed with Paul Simon, only cheerier, Bob Schneider's melodies and quirky lyrics are beyond infectious. Who can resist something so fresh as a little opera singing layered with poprock on Round and Round?!

Also, Sandra Bullock's mom sings opera on the last track...cool.

This is not a collection of tom waits songs but rather a collection of songs that sound a bit like the whimsical, whispery, tipsy stomps like in tom waits songs but with more harmony, varied vocal styling, and more lyrical nature. Tom waits has one song on it and he assembled the collection from different artists and styles. Even some funk and disco on this. All the songs are full, real songs, not some movie fillers. A few popular songs and others you never heard of before. This is one album I play over and over and as background music for all sorts of different parties.

I also have to agree that the Pushstars Rock!

Push Stars are the best band on this disc. Buy their album, After the Party, on Capitol Records.

Very disappointed to find none of the original score to the film on this CD at all. Weird! The songs are fine, but it doesn't really give a feel of the movie.

Tracks 1,4 and 5 are worth the $ by themselves.

We are most amused

This CD is only worthy of merit due to the Push Stars. They are one of the greatest bands of this age. What can I say, other than they ROCK!!!
