5.0 out of 5 stars A Good CD, July 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: My Best Friend's Wedding: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)

I only noticed this cd after one of my friends told me about it, but I'm glad that she did, because this cd is definitely worth it. My personal favorite song on the cd is "Say A Little Prayer For You", the cast version. Though it isn't much like the movie version (which was a lot better, I think due to the way it was performed), its a great song, and even funnier to listen to with this version. The reggae version is pretty good too. I also enjoyed "Wishin and Hoping", which is just a nice song. However, I think to understand what the meaning of the songs are (to this soundtrack), you need to see the movie, so I recommend that you see the movie, and then take the time to appreciate the soundtrack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, but I like it anyway., September 4, 1998

I have to agree with the review written by a fan from Olympia, WA: the songs on the soundtrack were not the same versions as in the movie, and this was a disappointment. The cast version of "I Say A Little Prayer" was nothing like the great performance in the film, and Diana King's version of the same song had a reggae flavor; it was fine, but not the version of the song that I had been hoping for. I still enjoy the CD, but it would have been much better if the actual songs from the movie had been included.

Tony Bennett's "The Way You Look Tonight" is WONDERFUL. Makes my heart go pitter-patter!
