This cd was one of the best soundtracks i have ever listened to. martina mcbride was excellent, and so were the dixie chicks... this cd is a definate must have.

After seeing the movie and hearing the music, I decided that it would be a great soundtrack. This CD has a great variety of songs on it, and has something for everyone

I have had this cd for awhile and I absolutely enjoy it. I like every song on this cd. It has every mood for everyday listening.

Cute and sweet, but not cheesy! It's got a great verity of musicians and flavors. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is an excellent choice for opening; the urban country songs by Dixie Chicks are surprisingly enjoyable! This CD is loaded with good musicians (take a look at the list and you'll see!), in addition, the arrangement of songs is flawless and seamless!

If you're a Soundtrack lover, there is no risk in getting this one. If you're not into Soundtracks, this would be a CD that you can enjoy anywhere, at anytime!

There are quite a few songs on this CD that I like. Including "Maneater" and "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." I think it would be a good investment to your CD collection.

This is a great soundtrack, full of excellent songs that are amazingly
appropriate for the movie. You can easily visualize scenes from the movie
while listening to the songs. However, the songs are so good that you
can enjoy the album even if you haven't seen the movie.

The album (as well as the movie) opens with U2's classic 'I Still Haven't
Found What I'm Looking For', which sets the tone for the rest of the album.

The collection is slightly eclectic, but they're all either love songs or otherwise
related to the theme of a woman who finds it difficult to stay
put just before the wedding vows :-)

Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Daryl Hall & John Oates and jazz legend Miles Davis
are the other 'old hands' who provide great tracks.

But what really holds up the album is the quality of the new stuff,
especially the songs by Martina Mcbride, Dixie Chicks, Marc Antony and
Shawn Colvin. Being a huge fan of Phil Collins and not a fan of cover
versions in general, i was highly skeptical about Dixie Chicks' version
of 'You can't hurry love', but it's really good.

There are hardly any weak tracks here, and you can pretty much listen to
the album 'end to end' - the hallmark of a truly good album.

All in all, if you saw the movie and would like to relive it with some
great music, or even if you're just looking for a nice album of love songs,
this is a great choice. Warmly recommended.

While I was watching Runaway Bride I knew I would get this album. It did not disappoint. The Dixie Chick's Ready To Run is a great anthem. You really get the feeling that was portrayed in the movie while listening to the soundtrack; a young woman dealing wth issues and trying to find the right path for herself in life. This is a great c.d to crank up and let go.

It's just fun from start to finish, from the Dixie Chicks' gun-shy silliness in "Ready to Run" to Eric Clapton's lush, heart-tugging "Blue Eyes Blue". There isn't a single disappointing track on this compilation.

The songs on the Runaway Bride cd are great. There's a compilation of both rock and soft rock to suit your fancy. Shawn Colvin singing "I never saw blue like that" is my favorite with it's beautiful melody and lyrics. And if you love Billy Joel then you'll love to hear him sing the upbeat song "Where were you on our wedding day" which describes a lot about what the films about, a bride running away. Sure I haven't seen the film yet but I know it's probably good with these wonderful songs in it. Amazon.com doesn't list all the songs that are on this soundtrack such as U2's "I still haven't found what I'm looking for", and list's Kenny Loggin's and Human Nature as being on there when their not. All in all a must buy and I now have to see the movie!

Since "West Side Story" and Disney's "Mary Poppìns", I became addicted to soundtrack albums. This one from a wonderful, light romantic comedy in which the beautiful Julia Roberts appears as gorgeous as she is, has a nice but eclectic selection of songs. Anyway, please note that there are three outstanding songs for what this soundtrack is worth: "And That's What Hurts", an authentic 'jewel' by DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES (not available in any of their other records or Hits compilations), "Where Were You (On Your Wedding Day)" by BILLY JOEL, and also the wonderful ballad "You Sang To Me" by Puerto Rico Salsa superstar MARC ANTHONY.
There is also a cute version of the classic "You Can't Hurry Love" by THE DIXIE CHICKS... You will get even "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by the superb Irish band U2. I bought this CD even when I didn't see the movie, but I was very happy when I discovered that so many great songs were included in it!
