4.0 out of 5 stars Lighthearted and unassuming; very nice, June 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: You've Got M@il: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

"Pleasant" is perhaps the best word to describe this score. You probably won't remember much of what you've heard after you turn the CD player off, but you'll have a smile on your face while you listen to it. Lots of nice, jazz-inflected piano work here; it's a very intimate and lighthearted 31 minutes of music (yes, it's barely half an hour). Finishes with a beautiful vocal rendition by Harry Nilsson of a beautiful song, "Over the Rainbow." Perfect for reading a book on a lazy Sunday afternoon (preferably from Meg Ryan's bookstore!).

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Loved the Movie, You'll Love the Soundtrack, May 3, 2005

This review is from: You've Got M@il: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

The soundtrack is like the movie: sweet, fun, uplifting, surprises around every corner, and worth enjoying many times. My older relatives adore it, and even still, I love it too, though most of the music is from an era other than my own, that is a testament to it's timelessness. I only regret the songs in the movie that were not included on the soundtrack, especially Never Smile at a Crocodile, sung by the Paulette Sisters. What a fun song right up there with the Puppy Song -- fresh, one I now sing to my children. So what if not every song is written with a homogenous audience in mind! This soundtrack is delightful!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Album, January 27, 2000

This review is from: You've Got M@il: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

The music in this album is wonderful. George Fenton brilliantly turns Kathleen Kelly's and Joe Fox's words and actions into music. When listening to the score you will easily picture the movie in your mind. The only downfall of this album is, it is way too short - just over 30min. Someone should have put both of the You've Got Mail soundtracks together on one album for a complete YGM experience. However, this light soundtrack is a must have for any collection.
