2.0 out of 5 stars Where are John Leguizamo's songs?, December 31, 2006

This review is from: Music From the Film the Groomsmen (Audio CD)

Sure, the CD is a nice enough collection of excellent classic rock tunes. But I came here to get the versions, I heard on the DVD. There, actor John Leguizamo was singing "My Kinda Lover", "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write `Em)" plus "Shakin'" by Eddie Money. He did a pretty good job. So I have no idea, why these recordings are not included on the soundtrack album. Instead we get the original versions, most fans of this kind of music already own. Hmm...
Also, actor Donal Logue performed (and wrote!) a short little acoustic song for the movie, which, despite being a very close cousin of The Beatles' "Hey Jude", I would have liked finding it here. But again, no such luck!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, February 21, 2008

Having just watched the movie on DVD, and being pleasantly surprised by John Leguizamo's versions of The Breakup Song, Shakin', and My Kinda Lover, I was hoping that I'd find his renditions of these tunes on the soundtrack album. Instead, what I find are just the songs as performed by the original artists, which I could find in any number of places! And why replace Shakin' with that bonus track that wasn't even in the movie?

I wanted to purchase the songs AS PERFORMED in the movie. NOT the original songs by the original artists. I really liked Leguizamo's singing as well as the little tune sung by Logue. Pity.
