4.0 out of 5 stars Still coming into her own, December 30, 2003
Rachel Portman has a knack for creating themes that tie perfectly with the characters. This soundtrack is flavored beautifully with the innocence and whimsy of the title characters, and I find myself able to easily recall moments of the film in her memorable tone poems of the included scenes. As for "stand alone" quality, this soundtrack is best for those who regularly listen to and appreciate film scores as opposed to soundtrack compilations. Portman's best stand-alone score for me is still "Chocolat," which not only conjures up the moods and flavors of the story, but also is a collection of very fun and interesting pieces that I could listen to even if I hadn't seen the movie.

If you're more a fan of the songs that were borrowed for the film, then you should buy the works of those included artists. If, however, you are looking for a score from one of our most gifted film composers, "Benny and Joon" will not disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Benny & Joon ST: Have a Little Faith in Me, November 7, 2001
By A Customer
Great soundtrack; minor correction: The song "Have a Little Faith in Me" in the movie is the version written and performed by John Hiatt. (check out the soundtrack information for the movie at imdb.com.)

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun album, January 13, 2001
I haven't seen the movie, so cannot relate on how this music fares to the film. But I think this album is terrific. The music is fun and creates a nice atmosphere. It makes me think of a circus or a fun fair. I originally bought it for the song "I'm gonna be (500 miles)" by The Proclaimers as I loved that song and at the time, couldn't find the album by them that it was featured on, so I bought this. And I am glad I did. It's wonderful. Track #5, "Hubcaps", although short, makes me also think of Charlie Chaplin. This album is fun and a treat to listen to. Rachel Portman is a fine composer.

5.0 out of 5 stars As perfectly suited to the movie as it could possibly be
I'd say this is up there with Yann Tiersen's score for 'Amelie' for making you taste, smell and feel the world the director has created. Rachel Portman's score is magical. Read more
