4.0 out of 5 stars Music that compliments the film!, September 29, 1999

By A Customer

This is a great soundtrack! I found the music quite catching and Barbra's performance memorable. Even Richard Marx does well! For those who like listening to sountrack music, this is a relaxing, easy listening cd. It is as pleasant as the film. I highly recomend it even to non-Streisand fans.

This whole CD is so totally fulfilling and then it is topped off with a beautiful vocal by Barbra... and my favorite Pavarotti! I listen to this so often I'm afraid I'll wear it out. I highly recommend it. Barbra has once again put her heart and soul into it's beautiful score. You will love it. Kudos also to Barbra's longtime friend Marvin Hamlisch. What a team!

2.0 out of 5 stars Solid, but forgettable, film score., June 10, 2003

This soundtrack to Barbra's third theatrical film as a director (which was a box office disappointment, by the way), consists mostly of Marvin Hamlisch's instrumental score (which frequently uses a "Love Theme" written by Barbra). The lush score is solid, but inessential. There are also four vocal tracks on the disc, but only two are from Barbra. The duet with Bryan Adams, "I Finally Found Someone" (#8 Pop, #2 Adult Contemporary), was a smash hit, and was even nominated for a "Best Original Song" Oscar. While the song (written by Hamlisch, Streisand, Adams, and "Mutt" Lange) is a pretty typical power ballad, the beautiful contrast of Adams' and Streisand's voices make the track a memorable one.

The other Streisand track, "All Of My Life," has a nearly identical melody (but with different lyrics by the Bergmans), however it is completely uninteresting without the contrasting duet vocals. The other vocal tracks ("The Power Inside Of Me" by Richard Marx, and a brief snippet of Pavarotti's "Nessum Dorma") aren't particularly memorable either. Other than the appearance of "I Finally Found Someone," this release is really little more than a pleasant diversion and only of marginal interest to most people. Based on the strength of the hit single, it surprisingly did manage to hit the Top 20 on the Hot 200 and go Platinum.
